RESTAURANT is
RUINED BY fire
Coffee House in East Moline Com
pletely Destroyed in Early
Morning Blaze.

Fire in the coffee house at $50
Fifteenth avenue, East Moline, at
1920 this morning, caused a com
plete loss of the entire contents OF
the building. The proprietors are
Nick Kathecas and Catras Romanos,
Greeks, of 1910 Third avenue, Mo
line.
Pete Boles who was the first to
open the coffee house this morning,
had lit the small gasoline stove in
the kitchen and then left the build
ing on a short errand. When he re-
turned the building was in flames
and the place could not be ap-
preached Whether the stove explod-
ed or the little pile of papers in the
room became ignited is not known,
though the chief of the East Moline
fire department holds to the latter
theory.
Insurance on the place amounted
to about $500, which is about the
loss of the contents. The fire was
not only confined to the kitchen but
spread quickly to the dining room
at the front of the building. A col
Ored woman who entered the store
just after the fire began, was nearly
overcome, but managed to stagger
to the door into safety.
The East Moline fire department
handled the fire alone, keeping the
flames from threatening other ad-
joining building stores. Another
store room at S22 Fifteenth avenue,
is also owned by the proprietors of
the ruined coffee house.
