FIRE ON WEST DOUGLAS
Rittinour & Clark's Feed Mill Almost
Destroyed

At 9 o'clock last night fire broke out
in the feed mill on West Douglas, owned
by Rittennour & Clark. The building was
frame structure, IS by 60 feet, and
stood on the south side of the street at
a little distance east of the mills.
The fire was not discovered until 1t
was seen by Officer Fox, who was stand
ing near the corner of Main and Doug
las. He at once turned in an alarm and,
by the time the department could reach
the place, the fire had spread to all parts
of the mill. Two streams were turned
on and in five minutes the fire was
checked.
Probably 600 people turned out to watch
the flames, which lighted up all West
Douglas. There are two suggestions as
to the origin of the fire. One is that
it was started by the Missouri Pacifc's
switch engine, which had set some cars
at the Union mills but a few minute be-
fore the fire was discovered. The other
is that it was set by the electric wires
which carried current to the motor.
Rittennour & Clark, the owners, esti-
mated their loss to be 800 or $500. They
carried 500 insurance The building was
rented from Schwartz Bros, and it was
thought that $500 or $500 would cover the
damage to it. 1t could not be learned
whether this loss was covered by in
