Fire at swander Grocery.

Early this morning the fire alarm
was turned in, and upon investiga-
tton 1t was found that the Swander
Grocery store was on fire in the
floor in the back part. second
story. Owing to the water that had
to be used to subdue the flames the
loss will be considerable, but it is
thought that it will be fully covered
by insurance. The damage to the
groceries by the smoke will be the
worst. The front part Of the store
was not injured. 1t was first thought
that ashes in a pine box had more to
do with it. One cannot be too care
