ave-

$1,500 by LeRov Searcy, fire chief,
who added that damage sustained
by the Watson Feed and Seed
store, occupying the ground floor
of the building, probably would be
far in excess of that amount.
Tlie fire apparently started from
a spark smoldering overnight in
the sandlngs of a floor-sanding
machine which bad been left on
the second floor, where extensive
remodeling of the I.O.O.F. and
Rebekah lodge rooms had been
practically completed. Flames, which
were discovered shortly after 7
a m., burned through the floor
of the upper story and into the
ceiling of a downstairs seed room,
and again spread to the upper
story.
Damage to the feed store was
caused principally by water, Sear-
cy said, which soaked a large
amount of seed.
