Destruction of Palace Clothing Co Store by Fire
Fire broke out at 3:00 AM in the Palace Clothing Co store at 708 Kansas Avenue. The entire building and stock were consumed, with neighboring Kellam Book Co and Adams Brothers printers suffering heavy losses as the city fire department battled flames for hours. Fire Chief Wilmarth described the blaze as fed by an elevator shaft and escalating despite eight hose lines and chemical engines, with water pressure dropping and cold weather hindering efforts.
