Show EIRE IN DELTA i On Friday night the former Delta Cash Grocery building (now empty) burned to the ground. The fire started or was first seen about two o'clock a. m. about simultaneously by Mr. Byron and the city marshall. The call was given, and by really heroic work and hard efforts the fire was put out. Many thanks are given those who passed water so assidious-ly assidious-ly and labored so hard to put the blaze out. Had it not been for the excellent work the Mercer building would have been much more badly damaged. As it was, Ben Douglas' stock is hurt, and all the windows in the drug building burned out and the roof was injured some. The usual sneak thief was in evidence; evi-dence; some of Ben's goods were stolen. . ' |
