Of concrete on three sides, the new building was erected in hollow rectangle about the origi- nal frame structure which faced Palmer'S main street. It was in the walls of this original build ing, at a spot above the floor level and about eight or 10 feet back from the front of the store, that flames broke out at 8:2O last Monday evening.
 The fire was first noticed by Dave Rush, cab driver, who screamed warning. Delbert An derson and Chuck Watkinson, store employees, rushed to the basement carrying a hose, in an attempt to quench the fire there They said the fire could be heard fiercely cracking between the walls at an above-the-floor level. Just as they reached the base ment floor, light globes began to click off as fire burned out the basement wiring.
 In a matter of seconds the basement was in complete dark ness and was filled with heavy penetrating smoke. Only by crawling on their hands and knees along the length of the hose they had dragged to the basement, were Anderson and Watkinson able to regain the safety of the upper floor.
 Dr. R. E. Garrett, speaking of the situation later, said that in another two minutes neither man would have escaped. Watkinson was slightly cut about the head in struggling through the dark ened basement, and Anderson suffered broken finger and fac ial bruises.
 Employees left the building in such haste that contents of cash drawers could not be salvaged. At least S10,000 is believed to have been stored in the office safe; this figure represents re- ceipts taken in during the Colony Day celebration by the drug store and adjoining Palmer Cocktail Bar.
 At press-time the safe still had not been opened, However it is believed the safe is fireproof and that it's contents can be salvaged. Its opening awaits the arrival of

CTS Are Fined
 For Sheep Killing

Tried and convicted of shoot ing sheep out of season, two Fort Richardson S ldiers received heavy fines in commissioners S court last week. The men, Cpl. Franklin Kruse and Sgt. George Strickland, were fined $50 each for the offense.
 The game law violation oc- cured at Mile 97 of the Glen Highway on May 15. The pair was apprehended by the Fort Richardson game warden, who brought charges against them.
 The men said they saw the sheep within easy range, so they fired at the animals. Neither made any attempt to reach the sheep after bringing them down. Both men professed ignorance of Alaska's game laws, although both had been in the territory for at least a year.
