forgotten that the door was barred, as
well as locked, and was delayed for some
time trying TO force the door, finally he
succeeded in getting out and giving the
alarm, but the fire had gained such
headway that it was quite beyond control.
The building and entire stock of goods,
including large amount of cash, notes,
and book accounts were burned to ashes
in a short time. A feed mill adjoining
the store belonging TO Mr.. Bolton, was
burned to the ground. Mr.. Van Dusen's
losses will amount TO something near
$4,000. Mr.. Bottoms losses will aggregate
$3.50.
The origin of the fire is not known, but
it is supposed to have either started from
the stove or have been kindled by mice
nibbling parlor matches, the latter sup
position being the most generally accept
ed on account of the time and location
of the fire. Van Dusen carried s., 500 in
surance There was no insurance on the
mill. This is a very sad blow on Mr..
Van Dusen. as it leaves him practically
penniless. We voice the sentiments of
the entire community in expressing our
sympathy for the losers by this fire.
