NEARLY a FIRE.
The jeffrey Drug Store is 8Iyst, riously
SeOFehed Wsdnesdav Night,


SeOFched Wednesday Night.
When the jeffrey drug store was
opened yesterday morning the inside
was found to have been almost com.
pletely destroyed by fire, which had
not only not broken outside of the
building, but had apparently gone out
Of its own accord.
A hole had been burned through q
side door and back window had been
broken by the heat which had con
sumed the curtain and charFed the
window frame. Bottles on the shelves
had bursted and the prescription case
and fixtures were badly burned. Even
the front windows had cracked and
we're blackened with smoke. On the
prescription case was a gallon measure
partially filed with coal oil, and the
lip of the measure had been melted of
without the oil igniting.
How the fire originated is a mystery,
but why it should have gone out, after
having the Roadway it must have had,
is still more curious. AS hole was
burned through the side door and a
window in the rear broken, it could not
have been smothered out, Mr.. Jeffrey
closed the store late in the evening,
