North Main street indicated the
damage Is not more than $500. It
was at first thought damage would
amount to 5000.
The blaze was first noticed about
midnight. Probably the turning OF
traffic light at the corner OF
Bridge and North Main streets,
from green to red, resulted in dam
age not being more extensive, Miss
Julia Youle, nurse at the U. s. Rub
Der plant here, was passenger in
a car driving south on North Main
street at the time and when the
traffic light turned red, the car
stopped and as she was waiting for
it to turn green again, she noticed
smoke coming from the Gresham
store.
She called to Patrolman Anthony
Farrar who was nearby and he
turned in the box alarm, u, at the
corner Of North Main and Bridge
streets. The fire damaged Mr..
Cheeseman's shoe store, the Fulton
market and confectionery store
owned by Leo Siderkowski. All are
in the building.
Patrolman Farrar showed quick
thinking by Immediately arousing
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Bowers and
their two children who live In a
house in the rear Of the building.
They left their home which later
was partially filled with smoke.
Fire marshal Michael r. Shea at
tributed the blaze to defective wiz
ing. 1t Is believed the building Is
covered by insurance. The fire ap-
parently started in the CONNECTIONS
cry store.

troll by 1:05 a. m. Many spectators
