men resulting in saving the building
The fire started in the southeast
corner of the Sweet Shop, and was
well under way when discovered. A
south wind was blowing and for
time it looked as if the whole struc-
ture, which includes the Sweet Shop,
Jensen and Gallery's Pool Hall and
the Polansky Grocery store, was
doomed. Not minutes time was
lost by the fire department in get
ting into action and, to the credit OF
the efficiency of its work, the fire
was soon under control and the build
ing was saved. The loss to the build
ing from fire and water is consider
able, but the greatest loss was sus-
tanned by Mrs. Kruger. Practically
the whole stock, valued at $500, to-
gether with the fixtures and furniture,
was destroyed. Damage was also
done to the rooms above the Sweet
Shop, occupied by G. Boeck's tailor
shop, the total amount of the damage
amounting to a considerable sum.
Mrs. Krueger's loss is partially cover
ed by insurance-Olivia Times.
