was all in flames.
The efficient fire department., how
ever, was soon at work and after a
short while they had the fire put out
The inside of the building was dam
aged and the estimated damage done
was ascertained to be considerable.
Both the owner of the building and
the proprietor of the meat market
however, are fortunate as they mad
the building and merchandise insured
against such a risk. Mr.. Andersen
reports that he will open up for bust
ness in a short while after he gets
the place repaired.
