ance Of $50 on his stock.
A man living near, the building reported
that short time before the fire broke out
he saw some one in the building. This
led to the rumor first current that the
building had been entered by burglars,
the safe blown open, and fire started by
the explosion. The safe was found in the
ruins, with contents intact, including
registered mail.
The postoffice fixtures were destroyed,
together with q small amount Of open
