STORE BURNS
At THOMPSON

=
The Considine & Wales store at
Thompson was practically destroyed
by fire Monday. The fire was discov-
cred at 10 minutes past ewelve, noon,
and every effort made to save the
structure which is one story brick
building containing a large stock of
general merchandise,
Joe Considine, the senior partner,
was in Mexico attending the prelim-
mary hearing of Virgil Hulen, for
mer cashier of the Bank of Thomp-
son, of which Joe Considine is
president,
Thompson has no fire department.
Volunteers did what they could to
extinguish the blaze but sufficient
headway had been gained by the fire
to make their efforts Of little good.
The Bank of Thompson, which is
across the street west of, the store,
was menaced for a time but hard
work saved it from being destroyed.
Everyone in the store had gone to
lunch except Miss Mollie Moseley,
the bookkeeper and when she discov-
cred the fire the entire basement was
in blaze. 1t is thought the fire orig
mated about the furnace. The stock
of the store was worth fully $4,000.
Joe Considine valued the stock and
building Of the Considine & Wales
store which burned in Thompson
Monday, at $4,000 Of which $4,000
was for stock. He carried $4,000
insurance on the stock and building.

able expense. However, if the secre'
