WESTERLY

The fire that broke out at 245 Mon day afternoon in the partition in the rear of the BarTows buitding oyer the Westerly Candy Kitchen, was :extinguish- cd il, about an hour by the Westerly and Pawcatnck fire departments. but not un- til .he flames had burned up the parti. ton on the north sfde Of the Lyric thea tre, and crept between the metal ceil- ing of the theatre and up to the roof. The entire loss son the building and con- tents A estimated at about $26.e0o. the 3or portion of the loss, being due to water. s.I
 Three streams ef water were poured into the theatre, and the offices of Depu- ty Sheriff William H. Casey and Joseph Monti, together with tie Knights of Co., luEnbus rooms, received Wetting. The water leaked down to the Stores on the ground floor also, but the grocery store of Edgar Sweet on the west side of the building escaped with little damage. The | clothing store of ". Ward Sherman, the ssate Line Luneh.. the Westerly, Candy Kitcfien. ard the Bargain Shoe Store. all were pretty well soaked = Ths Lyric theatre suffered the greatest I loss from the ffe1 itself. The metal cell ! Ing had to be ripped down 50 that the hremeh could get at the flames, and sev- l eral rows of seats wer0 pulled up. The place was also flooded with water.
 ' The cause of the ire Is still unknown ! It could not have been caused by defective wiring. because there are no electric l wires where the fire broke out. There Is \ a pipe hole in the rear of the Westerly I Candy Kitchen, near where the fire l started, but Anthony, the proprietor oi l the place says there is never any blaze in 1t. It is simply to carry of tfitl fumes l of the gas stove
