Fire devastates Bacon building and two shops on Third Street
The Bacon building on Third Street suffered severe fire damage shortly after midnight affecting the Yellow Front store and Link Jewelry. The blaze started in the basement of the fruit store, spread to the upper floors, and caused extensive losses including canned goods, stock, and safes. Most valuables were inside a two ton safe in the jewelry shop. The Yellow Front stock and safes were heavily damaged while adjacent properties sustained minor impact. The building, erected circa 1876 by Carlos Bacon, is owned by Mrs. Carlos Bacon and will later pass to the IOOF lodge. The cause remains linked to the overheated heating system and furnace.
