Flames Destroy Lee Robbins Store in Sulphur Springs
Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the stock and storeroom of Lee Robbins at Sulphur Springs Saturday night. Loss estimated at 7500 dollars, partly insured. Robbins closed out at 8:30, left with a helper, returned to find total ruin as flames raged from the northeast corner near the desk. Fire started likely from a cigarette. Building was a one story frame with a metal roof, hindering containment. Firemen and a large crowd observed but could not save the inventory or building. Robbins, a popular young businessman, considered rebuilding but had not decided.
