Fire damages Lone Star News Stand fireworks stock
A premature Fourth celebration caused a blaze at the Lone Star News Stand on East Seventh Avenue. A $135 stock of fireworks burned after a cigarette butt or a thrown firecracker started the flames, causing about $2,000 in damage. Firemen arrived at 8:50 pm and contained the fire within 15 minutes as crowds gathered and traffic slowed.
