Quite destructive fire occur
red last Thursday night in West
Union when warehouse belonging
to the firm of Strotiier 6 Phinney
was destroyed shortly after mid
night. There were some eight or
ten bales Of cotton totally destroyed,
but the greatest loss was caused by
: destruction OF cotton seed, bagging
and ties, linters, etc. The loss Is
said to range In the neighborhood
of $4,000. No insurance, we are
informed, was carried on the build
irg or contents. The warehouse was
located near the gin and oil mill
plant The great pile of cotton seed
huls and other stuff OF this charac-
ter still shoulders, almost week
after the fire. No definite idea can
be fixed upon as to the cause of the
blaze, but 1t is supposed that the
quantities Of cotton seed had
heated to such extent as to cause
spontaneous combustion.
