One of the Numerous Clothing Stores, of
Which Topeka Has One, COIIapses-
A dispatch was received in Topeka last
evening. announcing that the building
occupied by the Palace Clothing COM
pany's store at Minneapolis, Mimi, had
collapsed, killing Gale Waters, one of
the clerks, and injuring others.
The store is under the same manage
ment as the Topeka and Kansas City
stores. Mr.. Auerbach of the Topeka
store was in Minneapolis only a few
days ago. He says that the store was a
magnificent building with an eighty feet
front The company has spent thous-
ands of dollars in remodeling the build
ing and only short time ago put in two
large plate glass windows on the alley so
as to give better view of the interior.
The managers of the Topeka store
have received no estimate of the loss.
Mr. Auerbsch was greatly surprised
when he heard of the collapse of the
building, as he supposed it was perfectly
secure. He says that the thing he re-
grets most is the death of one of the
clerks and the injury of others.
