A Fire at Minneola

About 200 a. m. Tuesday
morning, fire was discovered in
the building which is occupied
by the Silver Moon restaurant, of
which Ed Bartlett is proprietor.
The building and contents
were completely destroyed, it
being impossible to save any
thing.
The building was insured,
but none was carried on the fix
lures, so that is complete loss.
The origin of the fire is un-
known.
The loss of the restaurant fix
lures will be in the neighborhood
of $1,000.
