 duetsd by BTune GagliaFdueei si shout 6is0 o'clock last night resulted in damage estimated by Deputy Chief Eugene F. Barnes af the fire department at sih0o before il was put out by ths fire apparatus which answered an alarm from Box al the corner Of Main and Arch streets, The fire started when an empleys of the shoe shop sas cleaning a hat with gasoline, Deputy Chief Barnes learned, and two bottles Of the fluid that were kept on 2 shelf nearby caused the blaze ta spread rapdiiy
 When the fire apparatus arrived st the scene, lt looked as though the entire structure, which eompases the wodsn frame building al the corner of Main and Chestnut streets, was doomed. as biz clouds of smoke were pouring from the National Tea imr porting company. the Johnson S- Peterson photographic studio and the barber shop conducted by Jim mic Bordiere, besides the mass of flames that could be seen in the shoe repair shop. After the fire Deputy Chief Barnes commended the firemen on their work, saying that it was only as result of their hard and efficient efforts that the flames were confined to Gagliardue- ci's store. The other occupants of the store suffered from a smoke damage.
