J. W. RICHARDSON'S STORE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Fire Started About 2 O'clock in the
/; Morning-Supposed to Have Been
Set by Rats-Small Insurance.

Mr.. J. Walter Richardson, who
iabout two years ago opened a store
at his home near Jolly Street school
house, and who was doing fine
business had the misfortune to lose
the house and all the goods by fire
ON Saturday morning about 2
o'clock. When the fire was discov-
cred the building was so far gone
that nothing was saved.
Mr.. Richardson estimates his loss
around $4,000 and had only $1,000
insurance on house and goods.
He had been in the store until
nearly l o'clock that morning work
ing on his books and arranging his
accounts so that he might be away
on Saturday and the young men who
would be in charge could run the
business. The fire was discovered
about 2 o'clock and had so far made
headway that he could not save any
thing.
Fortunately he had some $500
worth of goods in the depot that he
had not moved up to the store but
(which he expected to haul on Sat
iiurday.
He does not know how the fire
started unless it was the work of rats
with matches.
The loss comes very heavy as he
had but recently gone into business
and was just getting in good shape
and doing a fine business.
He is not the least discouraged
and will rebuild. as soon as he can
get the lumber and will continue
business at the same place.
His many friends sympathize with
him in the heavy loss he has sus-
tanned.
