The civilized world stands appalled,
BIZ the enormity OF the disaster to the
Titanic. No other disaster at sea is
comparable to 1t in the number Of
lives lost and value of property de-

Building Occupied by E. [. Dean
Burns Late Last Night Before
Spectators Could Reach
Building.
WAS PARTLY INSURED
Had Been Formerly Used as Commits
sary Department for Bridge
Gang at the Des Moines
River Bridge.

The grocery stoore belonging to e.
l. Dean at the Des Moines river bridge
was totally destroyed by fire last night
about ten O'Clock. No one was around
the store at the time the flames were
discovered and Mr.. Dean could not be
reached by telephone.
The building was a frame structure
formerly occupied by the bridge gang
as commisary department and had
been added to by Dean and occupied
as a grocery store for the past year.
One hour after the fire had been
discovered the building was in ashes.
The stock and fixtures were totally de-
stroyed including a new cash register
that had recently been installed in the
store. The account book was saved
by some onloooker who reached into
the building through a window and
pulled the book out Just as the flames
had reached 1t. So rapidly did the
flames spread that 1t was impossible
to enter by the time spectators had
reached the place.
The loss is partially covered by In
surance to the amount Of $500. Mr..
Dean stated this morning that the in
surance would cover just about half
of the loss and that he would probably
rebuild at once.
