It was che basement of the V. F. Henry Drug Co. in the Heidtman Building. Ihis building has stood close to 25 years and never experienced a fire until this one of Friday last.

The drug firm, however, was conscious of the fact that a fire might start in their extremely hazardous basement at any time Having investigated the merits of the new Shur-Line Waterless Fire Control System they had it installed on July 2--just 13 days before FIRE did strike. Alter the fire the basement was inspected by Mr. Gee and a group of prominent business men. They found unlimited proof that the automatic chemical system had done its work well and had saved both this basement and the adjoining Armanko basement from terrific loss from fire and the inevitable water damage. One particularly interesting feature was the finding of alcohol and turpentine bottles which had exploded on the shelves--yet still contained considerable unburned liquid, the hot flame having been snuffed out by the non-oxygen supporting fire extinguishing gas!

F. HENRY DRUG CO. INCORPORATED Reno Nevada July 1C, Mr, Fred B. Gee, 502 Mill Street, Reno, Nevada. Dear Mr.

Gee: Kindly replace as quickly as possible the 11 chemical fire extinguishing units which automatically released during bur basement fire yesterday. The fire started from an unknown cause in the extreme north end of the basement at about o'clock in the afternoon. When I reached the scene, there seemed to be a flash and flames shot up into the rough wood ceiling beams. I ran back and grabbed three units, throwing them at the flames, then ran upstairs to call the fire department. By this time, the automatic units were releasing all over the basement.

When the fire department came, the basement was a seething mass of smoke and the chemical extinguishing vapor. Not having smoke masks, the fire department was handicapped and was forced to ventilate which caused the celling beams to re-ignite again--but this was quickly extinguished by the We are of the opinion that if our basement had not been equipped as it was, the damage would have been very much It is a certainty that the flames would have gotten: into the adjoining stationary store basement if it had not been I for your automatic chemical system. Trusting you will give this matter your immediate atien- tion, arey Very truly F. M. SMAiiWOODY V.

Dick Heap, Reno detective sergeant, returned to Reno last night from Battle Mountain with the door jani on which is the imprint of a hand.

I Three suspects are under arrest. Heap took imprints of' their hands, as well, as fingerprints, and today. will study them to determine if' one of the suspects left telltale evidence on the door of the car. Authorities of Lander county believe that Chiara was slain as he attempted to prevent the theft of the automobile, 2 a. m.

Saturday, in Battle Mountain. The three suspects are Mr. and Mrs. James Slatton and Robert Gibney, 29. They were arrested at 8 a.

m. at Imlay, while going through the town on a freight train. The Slattons are in jail at Winne-' mucca while Gibney is held at Bat-' tie Mountain. The three suspects are declared to have been seen in Battle Mountain the night before the killing and they left shortly after the of- ficel- was slain. Detective Heap said last night that Slatton, who is about 35 years old, Jtias been positively identified as Roy Frazier, wanted in Salt Lake City on a charge of robbery.

Police circulars accuse him of breaking into apartments in which parties were in progress and robbing and beating guests. Heap has the fingerprints of all the suspects and will search local files with the hope of determining if they have criminal records. District Attorney Howard E. Browne of Lander county, who is one of the leaders in the investigation, has a special interest in the case because his own father, when a Reno policeman, was killed on duty. Chiara was a native of Ladder county, having been born on what is now the Clark ranch nine miles Jrom Battle Mountain.

His parents were pioneer settlers in this section. During his early years, Chiara engaged in various forms of ranch work and mining activities. He is survived by a widow, Mrs. Josephine Chiara; a son, Robert, 14; a brother Frank of Battle Mountain, and three sisters, Mrs. Annie AU tenberg of Battle Mountain, Mrs.
