Fire Rips Liberty with $20000 Loss on Five Businesses
A major blaze hit Liberty causing about $20,000 in damage to four principal business houses and several offices. Insurance partially covers losses at Bertech Sus hardware, Fosdick furniture and undertakings, McCahn & Co grocers, and Dr. Pises drugstore, while Stanford Barnhart and G A R Hall also suffer heavy damage. Firefighters struggled as the square burned, but local citizens helped subdue the flames. The blaze started in Fosdick’s furniture store on Union Street near the Court House and is likely the act of an incendiary.
