Covered by $2000 lnusurance.
At an early hour this morning fire
practically destroyed the bakery ei-
tablishment conducted by W. T. Mur-
ray at No. 142 West Lockhart street,
and it was only by the indefatigable
efforts of the local firemen that the
flames were prevented from spread-
ing to adjoining buildings
The fire broke out shortly before
two o'clock and it was discovered by
E UO. Reinwald, who with his family
resides on the second door of the Ilill
& Beibach block. This block adjoins
the bakery bullding on the east and
Mr. Reinwald was awakened by the
smell of smoke He dressed hurried-
ly and investigated, discovering that
the interior of the bakery in the rear
was ablaze. He turned in an alarm
of fire and the MfAremen responded
promptly. Despite the fact that the
fire fighters were on the scene within
a short time the flames had gained
considerable headway and for the
next hour a flerce fight was waged
at one time threatened to get the bet-
etr of the department. As it was the
entire rear end of the building was
gutted and the bakestuffs in the show
cases in. the front were rendered un-
fit for use by smoke and water.
Murray place his loss on machinery,
stock. fixtures, etc, at $2500, on
which he carries an Insurance

were about 26 barrels of flour destroy-
ed and also over 1,000 loaves of bread
which were baked yesterday.
cakes and ples, all of which had been
baked for today's trade, were also
consumed. In fact the entire Interior |
is a total loss, while the rear end of
the building is badly damaged
The origin of the fire has not been
ascertained to a certalnity. It is be-
lieved, however, to have
from the switchboard to the electric
motor, as the flames
break out in the place where the mo-
tor and board are located.
Mr. Murray resides in the large!
wooden dwelling which Is located In |
close proximity to the bakery, and it
was feared at one time that the flames
would reach this building. Mrs. Mur-

Mr. Murray has not as yet decided |
to give out anything for publication

accident at 7 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing, having been struck by a passen-
ger engine No. 28 near the Iron bridge
below Black Creek Junction He was
riding on a train of empty cars run-
ing west, and belleveing the progress
of the train to be retarded by a brake
which he thought was applied to one
of the cars he dismounted to ascer-
tain if the brake was on. He stood
on the east bound track, and while in
a stooping attitude logking under the
car passenger train No. 28 shot
around the sharp curve at that point
striking McGee on the hip and knock
ing him under his own train. Con-
ductor George Selwell observed Me-
Gee standing on the track as the pas
senger train approached him He
shouted to McGee and made motions
to him leave the track, Lut the
rumbling noise of the train prevent-
ed him from hearing the warning He
sustalned a bad laceration of the
gcalp, contusions of the back and hip
and his right foot was so badly crush-
