Damage estimated at $3,000 was done to the bottling plant and other buildings of the Belmont dairy just outside the city limits on the Guess road about 10 o’clock last evening. Fire company No. 1 answered the call, and through good work managed to save all the buildings except the bottling plant. No water main was near the fire, and the firemen had to depend on water from the reserve tank of one of the trucks. The tank was kept full of water by a bucket brigade formed from the spectators.
