About n a. m. Wednesday the
people of Mexico were aroused from
their slumber by a series of explos-
ions which knocked people literally
out of their beds. The fire started
in the e a of Petit & Lantz's grocery
store and spread each way before
the alarm was sounded. 1t was
thought at first that the entire block
would be burned but the prompt
work of the fire company and pat
riotic citizens saved valuable prop
