DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1923.

. MIDNIGHT BLAZE 1 (Gontlimed from Page One) i graphs and many other separate pieces of furniture. The mirrors were all broken by the beat and the finish on all of th.- few pie. • which -he flames did not touch was ruined. The Packard Piano Company, of Fort ayne, hud one player piano, two pianos, and two or three lihono-graphs on the first floor. One of the pianos was' entirely ruined while the other two are greatly damaged. No Fire On Second Floor. The flames did not reavdi the second floor, but the heat, smoke and water Inflicted a heavy damage to all of the large stock of furniture stored there. Much of ttys furniture, it is believed can he touched up and sold at a reduction. However, the loss will be great. My. Black had fifteen caskets be shrouds, other clothing, and al! of his equipment stored in the undertaking parlors in the southwest corner of the first floor. All of the caskets and practically all of hi* equipment was destroyed. ’ The fire burned out the windowframe in a window at the roar of the Giles Porter grocery, which was directly over and not two feet from a Kerosene tank. It is considered miraculous that the tire did not reach the tank. Sleepers Are Awakened. Members of the Farr family were sleeping in the flat above the Porter grocery and they were awakened by the smoke, the calls of people on the street and knocks at their doors. They dressed and hastened to the street below. There were between 65,000 and 70,000 cigars and a large quantity of tobacco stoftd in the White Stag factory on the south side of the furniture store. Tobacco is said to bo very easily damaged by smoke. An insurance adjuster who inspected the factory this morning stated that the stock was damaged somewhat. Henry Thomas, proprietor of the factory, was □ut of town this morning and an estimate of the loss could not be obtained. 1 Will\Re-Build podding, Mrs. Niblick stated this morning that she will repair the damage to ho building as soon as possible, after he insurance adjuster has made his nv< stigation. The building, which was one of the oldest ones in that block,' will be rebuilt practically as it was, with the exception of a new ront, Mrs. Niblick stated. The walls were not damaged by tile, tire, but the interior will Ijavr- t« he entirely new. Beaver & Fryback To Re-Stock. Messrs. Beavers and Frybeck stat sd today that they would restock the store as soon as the building has been'repaired. They have not decid’d definitely what disposition they .vill make of the damaged stock. They may conduct a fire sale or the entin sto: k may be closed out to a wreckage firm. Mr. Beavers and Frank Wagoner recently opened a furniture store in Montpelier. Mr. Beavers has beer in the furniture business here for a number of years. He formed a part nership with his son-in-law, Mr. Frybeck. only a few months ago. Firemen Did Good Work The city firemen did good work in confining the fire to the one building as it had gained great headway when they received the alarm. Shortly after the fire whistle Jrlew, volunteer firemen appeared on the scene ready for action. o TEACHERS OPEN (Continued from Page One) noon.

Walton H. Poteet, of Chicago, director of co-operative marketing for| the American Farm Bureau, spoke

on the subject, "Cooperative Marketing," in place of Aaron Sapiro, legal counsel for the co-operative movement, who was called to California and was unable to attend. "A more severe .Adherence to the constitution <s the only way to stop those movement! which are now going on and which are working such damage to the governtaent. The constitution now restrains the individual in his actions and it restrains the mob by this restraint on individual actions.

Now, there’s Irish Mails and ro-la-goes, And toy automobiles. And velocipedes and aeroplanes, With wings and tails "for reals.” ■r • doll-carts and skip-alongs, Bluegrass coasters and —say!
