TUESDAYS FIRE
$500 LOSS

The fire which occurred Tuesday morn
ing at the Office of the kennebec Leader
was more serious than was supposed al
the time the report of the fire was made
and which appeared in Tuesdays Journal
The loss on the building, which is owned
by the Gardiner Real Estate Co., is not
less than $500. the two upper floors of tho
building being practically Quilted. This
loss is covered by insurance. The loss
of the Gardiner Publishing Co, publish
ers of the Kennebec Leader, is practical
~ a total one, and though some of the
machinery may be saved and repaired

high. The manager, Z. c. BowlA. stated
that the insurance was about so or 60 per
cent. of the loss, which was in the vicn-
ity of $4,000. He stated that no plans for
the future had as yet been made.
