Small Fire At Danford Pharmacy

Sunday evening about s O'Clock
fire was discovered in the Danford
pharmacy here, in the hallway lead
ing to the basement. The fire start
ed in a carton containing excelsior.
How it started is a mystery. Mr..
Danford, the proprietor had been in
the store, and went to the basement
to see that everything was all right,
and went right past where the fire
was found in less than twenty min
utes later There was no electric
wiring near it, nor gas light,
neither did Mr. Danford light
match, and the only solution given
is chat there might have been
match in the excelsior, and rats may
have caused it to light. The fire
damage was very small, the fire hav-
ing been extinguished before the fire
department arrived. Several boards
in the floor were burned, and the
partition was partially burned. Mr..
Ners Hooper, Mr.. Danford's assist
ant, discovered the fire and gave the
alarm.
