THREE BUILDINGS
BURN At ARGYLE
Three Stores Badly Damased BY Fire.
Believed to Have Started Under
the Floor.

Sunday morning at o'clock, dre
was discovered under the floors Of J..
NJ. Ryan's confectionery store.
Hanpt's meat market and O. NJ.
Jones jewelry store at Argyle, and
while the contents OF the buildings
were removed, the fire was extin-
guished after a stubborn fight The
damage to the stock Will amount to
about $4,000, and to- the three build
ings, which were put up together,
will amount to $4,000 or $4,000. all
fully covered by insurance
Ryan's loss will be the heaviest,
about SO per cent, from smoke, water
and hustling the goods out Of the
store in 80 degree weather. The
fire is thought to have originated un-
der the rendering kettle in the butch
er shop, working its way through the
floor. and communicating to the 9TH
er buildings under the floor. There
was no basement in any of the build
ings, which made fighting the fire
very hard. But with two engines
and a chemical they did splendid
work. being compelled to chop thru
the floors. They had but foot and
a half to work in between the floors
and the ground which proved a big
handicap.
The FIRE had smouldered all Satur-
day night, but did not break out for
lack Of draft, till Sunday morning.
