A fire was discovered in the building adjoining G. H. Clark's feed store last night about 8:30. Although the fire department responded quickly, the flames made sufficient progress to ruin the entire contents of the place. Mr. Clark used the building for a storing place for hay and had nearly five carloads in it at the time the fire occurred. The part that was not burned was damaged by the smoke and water, so is practically an entire loss. Both building and contents were insured. The origin of the fire is unknown.
