Fire broke out on Friday, March 4, 1904 at 3:40 p.m. at the Spoerl block, west of Miners Deposit Bank on Main Street. The Spoerl block was owned by Mrs. A.G. Stanley, and occupied by William Saltzer and John Crane. Dr. Stanley's wife had inherited the block from her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Spoerl. The fire broke out under the tin roof of the back kitchen and gained considerable headway before it was discovered. Liberty Hose Company responded quickly and extinguished the fire in a very short time. First Assistant Chief Vernon Mitchell was in charge. The property was considerably damaged by fire and water. During the fire, Mrs. Crane's purse, containing nearly five dollars, was either lost or stolen. Two lady friends, on hearing of her loss, solicited aid from Lykens citizens. They presented Mrs. Crane a new purse containing $32.35.
