HcCRORY HAS A FIRE
BUSINESS MOUSES OF THOnPSON
HAILEY CO., H. ARNOF AND E.
T. WHERRY, CONSUMED.
The people of McCrory were a
roused Monday night January 12th
about 1.15 o’clock by fire alarms.
Everybody hastened to the scene
and worked hard to save property.
There was a high wind blowing
from the northeast and the flames
soon consumed the above named
houses. No doubt others would have
burned had they not been covered
with ice and snow.
The fire, it is supposed, originated
from a defective flue in the grocery
department of Thompson—Hailey
Company’s large building. Mr.
Hailey, manager of the above firm,
was sleeping in his room adjoining
the office and drygoods department
and hardly escaped the raging
flames.
He saved only a part of his cloth
ing and as he ran out of the build
ing picked up the company’s large
customer’s ledger which was lying
on a table. The fire alarm, how
ever, had been given before he a
woke.
Mr. Wherry’s house was a two
story, the second floor being used
by the W. O. W., I. O. O. F., K.&
L. of H. and other lodges whose
regalia was also burned. The great
est loss in this respect being the
beautiful banner belonging to the
Odd Fellows which was a fine piece
of art. The room was also furnished
with a stage.
About $500 worth of goods and
fixtures were saved from Mr.
Wherry’s store. The other two
being a total loss. It was only
through the untiring efforts of our
citizens that the buildings in front
and to the rear of those destroyed
were saved. As an explanation of
the intense heat, every large glass
excepting one, in the front of E. L.
Hamilton's furniture store were
broken.
Following are the losses and a
mount same was insured for:
Thompson—Hailey Company’s
house $3,000; insurance $2.000:
stock $20,000; insurance $10,000:
H. Arnof’s house $1.500; insurance
3?750: stock $1,400: insurance
$9,750: E. T. Wherry’s house
$3,000; insurance $1,500: stock
$10,000 (insurance $5.400:
The total loss is $51,500. amount
of insurance $28,400.
The old frame buildings will be
replaced with those of brick.
CARD OF THANKS:
To the kind friends who so nob
ly assisted us during the recent fire
we express our most heartfelt
thanks. May the Lord bless you
and spare your houses from such
a calamity.
