Ransom & Horizons stock of furs was
badly scorched by a fire which broke
out in the basement late yesterday
afternoon during the busiest shopping
period of the week. 1t was nearly
o'clock when the patrons Of the store,
who had not as yet observed the break
ing out of the fire, were surprised by
the arrival of the chemical apparatus
from fire department headquarters.
The fire had then been burning some
time in the basement, where were q
number of raw skins, but a door at the
rear OF the basement being open, the
smoke went out at the back and up,
invading the photograph gallery of G.
A. Zimmerman, which was also dam
aged somewhat from the intrusive
creosote The loss on Ransom & Hor-
toms stock could not be estimated witt:
any degree of accuracy last night, but
the $4,000 stock suffered a serious in
vasion by the smoke, and the loss will
run we'll into the thousands.
During the progress of the fire, the
bursting Of the hose attached to the
chemical generator burst and did con-
siderable damage to some of the display
garments and lay figures in the store
room, which, however, was fortunately
not seriously damaged, and will not
prevent the early reopening Of the
store. Indeed, members Of the firm
said last night that there was little
doubt that the store would be able tc
reopen tomorrow morning.
