D00LEY SUN GOES

Fire Broke Out in the " Dooley Sun
Office During the High Wind Sum-
day Night-Three Buildings Burned
Causing q Loss of About $4,000.

The Office of the nooley Sun, and
Lee Munson's Garage and George
Leibach's Meat Market and Grocery
Store were burned last Monday NOM
ing about 200 o'clock at the begin

causing a loss If about $4,000 which
was only partly co"ered by insur-
ance.
The fire CAUGHT from the l,ooley
Sun Office which Wis set ;,flre prob
ably by an overie!;e.l stove, and the
high wind carried the flames to the
other buildings. It seems that Edi-

Ignite as usual before going home,
in order to have the print shcD warm

and had closed the drafts off, hut the

know of the fire until h. came down
in the morning.
A few people residing near the
scene of the fire were called out and
they did what they could to abate the
fire but to no avail.
The Lee Munson Garage was burn
ed and was complete loss. The Lei
bach Meat Market was also burned
but Mr.. Leibach was able to get nea:-
ly all of the stock out of his building.
With a little more help the meat mar
ket might have ben saved.
The loss of Editor Vezina is esti-
mated at about $500, on which there
was $500 of insurance; the loss Of
Lee Munson on garage and stock was
about 5000, on which there was
$4,000 insurance and the loss of Mr..
Leibach was 1900, making the loss
about $4,000 and the insurance about
IS, 100.
Mr. Munson, it is reported, will not
rebuild; Mr.. Leibach will. rent a
building and continue his business,
while Editor Vezina is as yet undecid-
ed as to just what he will do.
