Fire destroys store and dwelling near cotton mill
Early yesterday at about two in the morning a fire engulfed the store of J Bo Walters & Bro and adjacent dwelling owned by M H L Johnson. Losses included $200 on the store and $200 on the dwelling with Walters stock insured around $1,069 though losses exceed that. The fire destroyed the store interior, with no contents saved, and appears to have been started after entry through a back window. Walters rented a nearby cottage from Mr Wylie and moved in yesterday.
