What came near being q very
serious fire occurred here about 2
o'clock last Friday morning when
the store room occupied by Mr. Il D
Reddick in the Nexsen building was
discovered to be on fire by the night
watchman. Harry Bradley. It is
thought that the fire was Of incen-
diary origin, as there were evidences
of kerosene having been poured on
and around the desk where the fire
started. A bottle containing some
of the oil was found sitting near the
desk. This store is located on West
Main street in a solid block of bust
ness houses. Only the early discov-
cry Of the fire and the very prompt
response Of the local fire depart
ment prevented a. serious icon-
Cfagration. The actual damage to
the stock Of Mr. Reddick is not yet
known. He carried some insurance.
On Saturday morning the firebug,
not satisfied with his work on the
previous night, got busy and set on
fire the store of Mr. Harry Riff.
, The would.be incendiary entered
the store by pushing open the back
door. He then applied thetorch to a
Apile of bed comforts lying on 8 table
/ in the middle of the store. Night
IL atchman Bradley soon discovered
ne burning comforts and gave the
alarm. Messrs NH and Cecil Jacobs
were quickly on the scene and sue
| ,ecded in putting out the fire before
gained much hesdway, only two
s three comforts being destroyed.
