BAD FIRE Loss in
BARACA SUNDAY.

The Real Pharmacy building in Bar
aga and its contents were totally des-
troyed by fire Sunday morning. The
flames were discovered by City Elec-
trician Robert E. Martin, one Of the
tenants, at FIVE o'clock in the morn
ing, and he Immediately gave the al
arm.
How the fire originated is unknown.
Mr.. Real was in the store the early
part of the night to compound pre-
scription, but when he left everything
was safe. 1t is thought that the fire
caught from an overheated stove pipe,
as green wood was being burned, but
when Mr.. Real left the building there
was only good bed of Goals in the
stove.
The building was built in 1890, dur
the good days of white pine, and when
the flames got to travelling through
the structure it was impossible to do
anything to save the contents.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Higgins, who oc-
cupied the front part Of the second
floor, barely escaped with their lives
and were unable to save any of their
personal effects. Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Martin, who occupied the rear part of
the second floor, saved some of their
furniture.
Mr.. Martins loss was $1,000 partial
ly covered by insurance, while Mr.
Higgins carried no insurance. The
drug store loss is estimated at $500
for the building and $4,000 for the
stock and fixtures, partially covered
by insurance.
