Fire destroys Baker Brothers saloon and grocery
Friday evening a blaze swept through the J. H. Baker & Brother building near the B and O depot. Firemen arrived after the structure burned, with suspicions of arson and prior near misses. Insurance of two thousand dollars won’t cover the loss, and few goods were saved. The incident prompts calls for a night engine team for quicker alarms.
