LOSS WAS SMALL Fifty-Dollar Fire at Peoples’ Restaurant Several Sacks of Flour Burn, and Small Loss to the Building. Fire was discovered last night about eleven o’clock in the People’s restaurant by Tom Peterson, clerk. He had taken several orders for oyster stews and had gone to the kitchen to make same when he noticed a fire along the south wall in the bake shop. He ran out and informed those who were present and all rushed to the scene. In the meantime some one had turned in the alarm and in a short time the fire department responded but they were not needed as the fire was under control. The only theory open as to the cause of fire is that the gas came on very strong about that time and that ten sacks of flour had been placed too close the stove, which became over heated and started the blaze. The damage will amount to about fifty dollars, caused by destroying the flour and badly damaging the wainscoating but the same is fully covered by insurance.
