FRAZIER STORE
IS BURNED DOWN
FIRE At MIDNIGHT SATURDAY
NIGHT RESULTS IN $4,000 LOSS
-THREE HORSES BURNED.

The T. A. Frasier grocery store.
corner Keota and Miner streets, was
burned to the ground Saturday night
at midnight. The loss is estimated at
$4,000 and is covered by about $4,000
Insurance. Three delivery horses met
death in the flames.
While the origin Of the fire is not
known with certainty, Mr.. Frasier
and those who first discovered the
flames, are inclined to believe it the
work Of an incendiary. The fire was
discovered in the barn and in the store
at the same time and there was such
a distance between the two buildings
as to exclude the theory that sparks
from one set fire to the other. The
flames gained great Roadway and by
the time the fire department arrived
the entire store, together with the barn
and sheds and the fence arosnd the
grounds of the place, were a mass OF
fire. The store was outside the water
limits but it would nevertheless have
been in vain to try to extinguish the
fire. The firemen gave their atten-
ton to the protection of the houses on
Keota street, within the reach OF
sparks.
Mr., Frasier Left the store about 9:3o
Saturday night, taking care before he
left to see that everything was locked
up. When the last street car left the
end Of the line, in front of the store at
II O'Clock, everything seemed to be
all right The fire was discovered
about 11:50. The barn was in one
corner of the lot, while the store oc-
cupies an extreme front corner. Th2se
who first detected the flames say that
both store and barn were burning
fiercely. An attempt was made to save
the horses but they were dead long be-
fore anyone reached the scene.
Nothing was saved from the store.
1t was a one story frame structure and
burned like finder. The reflection
cast into the sky could be seen for
miles for period of an hour.
