Damaged.


Damaged.
Wednesday evening about o.
clock flames were discovered burst
ing from the building occupied by
the Co lumbia Steam Laundry and
Y. A. Digger, groceryman, corner of
South Main and Eighth streets.
The fire companies answered the
alarm promptly, and an excellent
water pressure was obtained, but the
fire was stubborn one to handle,
and the building was badly damaged
by the flames and water before the
fire could be eXtinguished. The
building, which is the property of
Taylor Voss, was damaged to the eX-
tent of about $500. The damage to
contents of the building will be diff
cult to estimate, as it was mostly
caused by water. Insurance was
carried as follows: Taylor Voss, So
600 in the Traders, with Frierson &
Tucker, agents; Mrs. Wheeler, pro.
prietress of the laundry, $1,000 in the
Globe; T. A. Digger, 5000 in the

Early yesterday morning a blaze
was discovered in the upper story of
