A SUNDAY NIGHT FIRE.
o. r. ubby's Harness Shop and Il. E. Msybss's
Law and lneurance Office Burned.

The most destructive fire that has
occurred in Laclede for some time
was last Sunday night. About II
o'clock flames were discovered gnaw-
ing their way through the roof Of the
two-story ironclad building just east
of the bank and had gained such
headway that there was no chance
whatever to save the building or its
contents, and in a short time it was
reduced to a heap Of smoldering ruins.
The lower story was occupied by
o. F. Libby's, Jr., harness shop and
above was the colored Masonic hall.
Not thing was saved from either
room. The whole inside of the build
ing was on fire when discovered.
Mr.. Libby's loss was pretty well
covered by insurance having $3.50 on
stock and $50 on tools. The colored
Masons had 5000 on their lodge tur-
niture which fully covers the loss.
The building belonged to G. E.
Hilton & Co., and was a total loss,
with no insurance.
The small office building just across
the alley from the harness shop, occu.
pied by H. E. Maybee, caught fire and
was soon reduced to ashes. Nearly
all of Mr.. Maybee's Office fixtures,
books, etc., were saved. The build
ing belonged to L. W. Rummell, OF
Brookfeld, and was insured for $50.
J.W. Anderson's shoe shop across
the street from the fire was badly
scorched. The glass was all broken
out of the front and it required hard
work to save the building. The dam
age was fully covered by insurance.
A junction telephone pole near the
building was burned down and about
half the phone in town put out Of
service.
Mr.. Libby will buy an entire new
outfit of tools and new stock right
away and will open up just SO soon as
a location can be found.
