SHOE FACTORY
IS DESTROYED.
Robinson Brothers Sustain Loss of
Between $4,000 and $4,000,
THEY WILL REBUILD SOON.
Fuse blowing Out Of Electric Wire
Believed TO be ihe Cause Of
The Blaze.

Robinson Brothers shoe factory on
Fourth South between Seventh and
Eighth East was completely Quilted by
fire yesterday afternoon about o'clock,
causing a loss OF between $4,000 and
$4,000 With $500 insurance carried.
Yesterday the origin Of the fire was
a mystery Today, when the excite
ment is all over, and there is time for
sober reflection, plausible explana-
ton Is made by a member OF the firm,
and his theory is borne out by the
statement of others. II Is his firm be-
lief that the fire was caused by the
blowing out OF a fuse In the electric
wiring. The theory that Il was caused
by an explosion Of some chemicals is
not true. as Mr., Robinson says posi-
lively that there were no chemicals IN
the building, and nothing OF a highly
ignitable nature. The blowing out OF
the fuse was heard by two PERSONS,
lady and a gentleman who live in the
neighbOrhood. The building was prac-
