$I2,000.00 FIRE At HURD
Cosgrove General Store and State
Bank Were Total Loss.

Fire broke out at about 3: 30
a. m. Sunday morning in the
Cosgrove store at Hurd which
totally destroyed the store and
the adjoining building which
was occupied by the State bank
Of Hurd.
The loss of the Cosgrove store
building with contents is about
$4,000 or $13, 900 with SO, 600
insurance; and the bank loss is
about $4,000, fully insured
the bank people being able to
save all of their books and most
of the furniture. Both buildings
were burned to the ground.
1t was only by the heroic
efforts of the citizens and the
favorable conditions of the
wind, that the post office build
ing and Morris residence were
saved.
It is not known how the fire
originated but it is generally
presumed that it was caused by
the explosion of Ignite coal
which was used by the Co.'S
grove people.
