The Fire at North Petersburg Sunday whs
$4,000 Went Up in Smoke.

Investigation of the burning of the
store at North Petersburg Sun dayy
night leads to the conclusion 1hat'
the fire was of incendiary origin
Mr. Rosenburg who conducted the
store, had a secret drawer in which
the silver was kept. He lives a mile
or more from the store and so much
silver was taken in it was inconven-
lent to take it home.
Saturday night, on closing the stord
some 1925 in silver was in the drawer
In searching the ruins Wednesday
afternoon no trace of the silver could
be found
1t is supposed that burglars entered
the store and set fire to the building to
cover their crime. The loss amounted
to about $4,000.
