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.
