Brothers Place.

Another incendiary fire was record
ed this morning at 5:45 when the de-
partment responded to an alarm from
the G. w. Guy grocery store, at 1900
Buchanan street. The fire had been

$25, with about 800 addition loss
by reason of smoke. No clue exists
as to the incendiary. This makes the
second time within the past two weeks

Crawford in making them jump from
