electric wire on the third floor of the
Mayberry building, or else in the adj

building. However, when the alarm was
sent in the flames had gained such head

Client work of the fire department, both
buildings were a total loss. The wonder
is that the Chalifoux building. around

smaller damage by water to the cloth
