morning our little village was aroused
by the startling cry of ".Firev and on
turning out 1t was discovered that the
vacant store building belonging to G.
Il. Basom, now residing ut Howard
City, was wrapped i'm flames. Owing
to the hour at which the fire occurred.
and the fact that the citizens We're
wrapped In slumber, the fire had gained
too great Roadway before steps could
be taken towards extinguishing it, and
the building was doomcd--all attention
being given to preventing spread of the
destruction to surrounding structures.
fortunately, there was no wind ut the
time, or we might have been called
upon to chronicle still greater loss, as
the town Is absolutely without means
of fighting fire.
The fire Is supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary. Various tbeo-
rlcs are afloat as TO It's origin and cause.
but nothing definite seems 10 be known.
Mr.. Basom was here Tuesday night.
Tic expressed himself as utterly mt loss
to account for the origin of the fire.
