Little Town Suffers From Fire.

Reader, little village on the
Sho1t Line railroad, In Wetzel
county, W. Va, was visited Mon.
day morning by a disastrous fire
which came near destroying the
entire place. The depot was the
first to be discovered on fire and as
the people OF the town were all
called to this spot 1t was noticed
that smoke was issuing from five
other buildings. The fire resulted
In the total destruction of the res
taurant of Alex Kirkland, saloon
of Thomas Butcher, railroad depot
and the saloon aud resi- dence Of
Mr.. Calvert. 1t Is suppose that
the depot set FIRE to the Whiteman
building. The Calvert building
stood probably 200 or 900 feet from
the other buildings and this fact
taken In connection that all of the
buildings were fred the same time,
leads the people to believe 1t was
the work of incendiaries. The loss
will be In the nelghborhood of $40,
