stroyed and shortly before noon only
a tangled mass of masonry and steel
marked the spot where a few hours
before a four-story, brick, stone and
iron building had stood.
A janitor in the Weller Brothers
department store discovered the
blaze shortly after 6:30 a. M in an
elevator shaft.
Before the fire fighting apparatus
of the city could reach the scene
the flames were beyond control.

was rescued by firemen a short time
before the walls Of the building col

About twenty-five physicians and
lawyers had offices in the building.
The only articles saved from the
building were an old Doctors ac-
count book and a few surgical in.
