Two Stores Burned at Canton
BAD FIRE THERE EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING.

Fire was discovered in the front end
of A. E. Davis boot and shoe store on
Main Street, Canton, about four O'Clock
Thursday morning by Mr.. Miller, who,
with the family occupied the rent above.
He notified Mac White, the night watch
man at l.. w. Smiths tannery, who
sounded an alarm, to which the Dirigo
fire company promptly responded. Later
they were assisted by the fire apparatus
at the tannery, both doing efficient
work.
The building joined the one occupied
by Miss A. C. Bicknell, milliner, on the
ground floor and Peter Bareneau and
family above. Both buildings were bad
" Quilted by fire and water. They were
owned by James W. Bicknell, the loss
partially covered by insurance. Mr..
Miller's goods were completely destroy
ed. Mr.. Bareneau saved about $40 worth
of his. Miss Bicknell was able to save
nearly all of her stock, which was re-
moved to the opera house across the
street, for temporary storage. The stock
of A. E. Davis was fully insured. Cause
of fire unknown.
Fortunately there was no wind for If
there had been, it would have been
hardly possible to save the nearest build
ings, which include the post office,
hardly 10 feet away, the Staples Block,
NJ. G. Strout's grocery store, and por-
ton of the tannery plant. Mr.. Davis
was out of town at the time of the fire.
