Hardware Store and Stock Destroyed by Fire
Fire destroyed the MacGregor hardware store operated by A V Winkler and owned by Merricks with all contents. Eyewitness Ed Smith alerted volunteers who fought flames but the building was a total loss costing about 10000 dollars and insurance partly covering the damage. The blaze also threatened nearby structures and disrupted Manitoba telephone service until repairs.
