Fire was discovered in the small build |
ing on Center street, occupied by John |
Bartek as harness shop, about O'Clock |
yesterday morning An alarm was sound |
ed by the factory gongs and the fire de-
partment responded quickly. The Hub
bard hose was first to get stream on the
fire. The inside of the building was one
mass of flames, but inside of minute af-
ter the stream of water was thrown into
the front side of the building the fire WAS
out and only the chsrred walls remained
to tell the tale. The building belongs to
the estate of the late s. D. Hall and was
insured for $3.50 in the Williamsburg City
Co. Bartek had an insurance of 81 500 on
his stock of goods, of which 81, 900 was in
the Williamsburg City company in H: L.
Davis agency and $500 in the Reading
Roach. There are many theories as to the
origin of the fire, which was without
doubt the work of an inoendiary.
One theory is that of robbery and
that the fire was started merely to
cover the traces of the burglary. A win
dow glass on the west side of the building
was found to have been taken out, as the
putty had all been carefully removed. J.
T. Kimberly who lives nearby, and Zoda
Bramble, who was returning home from
| party on the plains. are credited with
| having seen q man come out from
the side of the building and 60
across the street and jump over the ceme-
terry fence only short time before the fire
was discovered by Peter Cullen, who lives
over his store next door. The fire evil
IDENTIFY started in the south side of the
building, and it burning 80 fercely is
strong proof that kerosene or other inf1am-
mable material was used to start it.
