and the ravaging flames had guttered the rear room and were lapping out of the rear windows and in place* through the roof, and fn the absence of an active fighting organization and a good equipment many buildings would have been destroyed and it is hard to estimate th extent of the possible damage. The origin of the fire is not known for a certainty, but it is believed to have been started from a candy oven that occupied a place in the rear of tjbe kitchen. All of the kitchen fixtures, the flour cabinets and tables, a fresh batch of dough (tod all flour and stock in that room were ruined. The smoke passed into the' front room and probably injured the entire sto&, and entailed a lews of about. S6OO or S7OO, and Tir. Bolser Bedford building was probably s2sft <si S3OO, which was also covered by insurance. . ». ~1 . For a time it looked like Scott Bros’, harness shop was also on fire, and great volumes of black smoke enveloped the room, and it is probably that their stock was slightly damaged as a result. The fire department again juj&£' fled its organization and the expense of its maintenance.
