In furtherance of this plan he was removing his goods to temporary quarters in another building. The goods were nearly all out of the old structure when from some unknown cause it caught fire. The department was promptly on hand and soon had a stream playing on the flames, but the merchant was wild with excitement. Running up to the chief, he urged him t > greater haste. "Never mind the goods I" he shouted.
