persons killed were on the fourth
floor of the building which is four
stories in height and it was this part
that the flames attacked first. They
had retired about 10 O'Clock and We're
sleeping soundly when the alarm was
given by the employees. The belief is
that Mr.. Shaw did not real
ize the extent and danger of the fire.,
for when his body was recovered he
was found fully dressed. he others,
were partly dressed.
An investigation is in progress for
the purpose ofsdetermining the cause
of the fire.h One theory advanced is
that trouble arose from q lighted ciga+

The fire was the fifth to visit Troy in
a month or six weeks and in the insur-
ance companies are figuring out loss

sion in insurance circles was that

of incendiarism, but that there is no
claim that the Troy CLUB disaster was
due to criminal action. The police re-
port, however, that while the fire at
the Troy Club was at its worst, the dis
covcry was made that an attempt was
being made to burn the building at the
