The Ledger Buildin q Again In Dang er-—Losses Sustained, Again was The Ledger building the scene of a fire Saturday morning, and was this time attended with more disastrous results than be fore. The alarm was sounded about 3:30 a. m. and the fire department wag soon on the ground fighting the flames, and after a hard fight they were subdued. The flames were first discovered Issuing from the window of Dr. B. L. Allen’s offices which are situated In the second story of The Ledger building. It Is the presumption that the fire started In his back office. The damage to The Ledger building is about $2/000 which Is fully covered by Insurance Dr. W. K. Gunter, whose dental of flees are on the same floor with Dr Allen, sustained a loss of about $200 His loss Is fully covered by Insur ance. Jones J. Darby has a loss of about $50 with no Insurance. Dr. B. L. Allen is by far the heav iest loser outside of the damage to the building. His large X-Ray ma chine Is a total loss, as well as his other expensive office appliances. He carried $1,500 with Jones J. Dar by who represents the Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance Com pany. The offices and press room of The Ledger were a complete wreck after the fire, and presented a scene of confusion which is hard to describe, the damage by water alone amounting to two or three hunilred doll|irs. Th|? whole force had been working night and day for the past wee]:- In getting out the Limestone College Annual, and for tunately It. was finished and deliver ed Thursday night,else The Ledger’s loss would have been nearly $1,000 greater. The los s sustained Is fully covered by insurance. The contents of Dr. Allen’s offices were totally destroyed, and he had nothinE- left with which to practice medicine except his diploma and medicine case. He estimates his to tal loss at $2,'500. It is possible that the fire was caused by defective wiring of the building. Chief Lockhart, of the Fire Department, was overcome by the heat, and had to be carried from the building. The postofflee which is in the same building was flooded with water, and persons were shock- ; ed in getting their mail from their boxes during the progress of the fire. Postmaster Folger has moved out his office furniture twice within the last six weeks.on account of fire. Saturday afternoon a negro by the name of “Cooter” Lockhart, was ar rested on suspicion that he was con nected with a plot to burn the build ing. Mr*. P. V. G«ffn« y Entertain*.
