FIRE AT JOSLIN DRUG STORE
Blaze Starting in Basement Causes
Damage of 500.

Damage OF 500.
At 8 o'clock this morning fire was
discovered in the building at Twelfth
and Taylor streets which houses the
Joslin drug store, several apartments
en- the second and third floors and
grocery store at the corner of Twelfth
street and Western avenue.
The fire started in the basement Of
the drug store, from some cause as yet
unknown. The firemen~ arriving at
the fire, were forced to break in the
front doors of the store to reach the
flames.
The damage to the store and the
stock will amount to about $500,
Charles Joslin, owner, stated today. He
was not sure of the amount, as he has
not completed checking over the loss,
which was chiefly in pharmaceutical
supplies, valuable papers and station
cry, Joslin said. The main item of
damage to the building was the de-
struction of the telephone and electric
light wiring, which will require two
days for replacem ent.
Joslin As at a loss to account for
the causSof the fire. The wiring has
been inspected regularly, he said, and
the basement had not been used
Thursday night, so he was sure no
cigar or eigaret butts had been
dropped there. His loss is covered by
insurance, he stated today.
Joslin has been in business in the
same building for the past sixteen
years.
