FIRE LAST NIGHT, Bon Ton Bakery Burned Loss Not Esti matedInsurance One Thousand Dollars. About 10.20 last night fire was dis covered tn the roar of the second story of the Bon Ton Bakery, whloh was oc cupied by Peter II. Smith, proprietor of bakery, as dwelling. The fire alarm was given and tho fire company quickly responded but by tbe time they got the water on the fire had a good start and It looked as If tbat building and tho buildings on each sldo, all frame build ings, would certainly be devoured by the fire fiend, but with good water force and good work on the part of the flro men, the fire was confined to the one building, and only tho roof and upper part of that building was burned. Mr. Smith, wifo and children were at Mr. Smith's store In the Doiblo block when tho fire started and the origin of fire Is unknown. It started In the kitchen. Only a few things were saved out of the second story but everything was saved nut of tho store and bakery. Mr. Smith did not know this morning what his loss would amount to. He carried (1,000 Insurance. Among the household goods destroyed was a new piano. Mr. Smith expects to build an oven iu rear of his store In the Delblo brick block and will continue the Bon Ton Buknry, but will only run onestoro. The building was owned by E. L. Evans, who lives In the adjoining build ing and conducts a grocery store. Mr. Evans did not have any insurance on the building. Tbe roof of the one story building on east sldo of Bon Ton, an old roof, was so badly damaged by firemen walking over It, that the occupant of tho building,. Mrs. Anna Hendricks, will have to move Into another building, as Mr. Evans will not repair either of tho old buildings but will have them torn down. Tho fire company from West Reyn oldsvllle was at the fire in good time and did good work in helping to control tbe flro. When a fire ggts as good a start in an old framo building as tbe fire had last night and the fire companies get control of It before the fire gets outside tbe walls of the building It started In, It shows that tho firemen did good work. At one time It looked as if it would be Impossible to save the buildings ad joining tho Bon Ton. Resolutions of Respect.
