Midnight fire destroys Dunn's hat and furnishing stock
A fire at Alex Dunn's hat and gent furnishing store at 12 Wyoming avenue caused extensive damage. The cellar stock worth about 84,000 was destroyed and the first floor stock of about 810,000 suffered heavy smoke and water damage. Firefighters battled two streams from the front and rear as crews fought the blaze with chemical and hose lines. The cause remains a mystery, with Dunn and his clerk recalling they left the store moments earlier, and an insurance of 8,000 carried.
