Besides the building in which the
fire originated and which was occu-

the drug store on the same side Of
the street was consumed, with prac-

The building containing the pool
room and barber shop was owned by
David Mckay. The other buildings
destroyed included a restaurant, the
confectionery store of Jack Levi, a
general store of which Walter Nelson
was manager and the postoftice build
ing which was owned by Ed Pierson.
A part Of the contents of the general
