Wolff Liw OMces Escape wftlfsiight Loss -Total Loss
Approaches Ten Thousand Dollar Mark
About two oclock Saturday morning
the yeneral merchandiHO otore of Jhn
II GranniB in the Morlan hnck building
was discovered to be on fire and by the
time tho departnibnt bad the flimes
subdued about an hour later the entire
stock of goods invoicing aboutS6000 00
was practically destroed or damaged
beyond usefulness 6y fire smoke and
water Insurance fully covers the loss
The alarm was givn by W L Bass
who with Mrs Jiass occupy a suite ofH
rooms iu the front of the adjoining
Morns brick buildiug They wero
aroused by the smoke penetrating into
their apartments They escaped with
some dfliculty with a few belongings
and none too soon
Water and smoke communicated in
time to the drugstore of C R Wood
worth Co on the south doing damage
in the sum of 1500 00 which is covered
by insurance
While the smoke penetrated the law
on all law abiding citizens irrespective
of party affiliations to join with Ub in an
effect to elect a mayor who will be true
to his solemn oath of office aud his offi
cial obligations by enforcing the laws
and city ordinance and tho election of

Te damage toitbe Morlan building
will approximate S10C0 upon which
unfortunately there is no insurance
i he Morris building damage is nom
inal in amount being confined to wuter
apd smoke
Tiio work of thie department is com
mendable the result -under the circum
stances being a subject for congratula
tion to all persons concerned A slight
variation in detail might have resulted
iu a tevere fire and heavy and disastrous
loss
It is a matter of legret to the writer
that the long and honorable busiuess
career of Mr Grannis in our city should
thus terminate in a disastrous fire
day While the weather and condition
of roads interfered somewhat with
the attendance tho contest was in other
respects entirely satisfactory
