Allie Clark, Circleville. Mr. Battershell this afternoon estimated the stock's value at $10,000 with $8,000 insurance. The Correll block on the south of High street, where the Batter, shell store is located, is owned by Mrs. F.

M. Bidsall and Mrs. R. E. Tuttle.

The rear of the variety store and the Ferris hardware store next; door' were damaged to the extent of about $2,000, it was estimated, entirely covered by insurance. Meat Is Intense A high wind fanned the flames, which had a good start before being discovered. Dense smoke poured from the rear of the variety store while! a large crowd watched the Hicksville fire department pour water on the fire. The blaze was under control within a half hour, but the intense nature of fire while it lasted made short work of the notions and fragile ware that composed a large portion of the store's stock. Counters and shelves were loaded with, goods in observance of Day.

Although flames were confined to the rear of the'store room, heat became so intense that front windows were broken. Surplus stock of the store on the second floor also was injured and there was some smoke damage in the insurance office of L. E. Hart at the front of the building on the second- story. (Chemicals Futile Manager Battershell discovered the 'blaze at 11:30 a.

in. as he was seated at his desk on a balcony at the rear of the store. The loading platform was afire. Flames had reached the interior when the fire department arrived. Chemicals proved futile and soon the firemen had a stream of water playing on the blaze.

Merchants! in the same block have made a practice of burning trash at the rear of the Milo Daub lot nearby. It is believed that smouldering embers from this trash pile were swept by the wind under the loading platform at the Swisher-fBattershell, where they ignited leaves and papers, finally spreading to the dry I flPAl LUbHL BEAUTIES AND AMATEURTALENT Ten Delphos Young Ladies to Assist in Display of Garments in Fashion Show and Style Revue at Capitol Next Week Local Entertainers Enter Amateur Vaudeville Contest. timbers. iFuture plans of the store will not be announced until after the arrival of Mrs. Clark from Circleville Sun-.
