Fire destroys rear store addition as crowd watches
A three story brick building on Main Street suffered a rear blaze in a store room, drawing a large crowd. Firemen confined the flames to the back section while maintaining undamaged offices on the second floor and a dancing studio on the third. The owner absent, clerks tried to reach safes as flames grew, and a cashier reportedly burned cash before escaping. Fire crews from two lines fought the fire, with a still alarm summoned for an automobile fire at Golden Hill and Main. Traffic halted for over 30 minutes as water was applied while investigators sought the cause, currently undetermined.
