FIRE DESTROYS HORTON BUILDING MONDAY.
Cont, from page 1
Care was taken to savo those things that
arc hardest to get at this tine.
It was thought for a time that the Fron
tier Liquor Store could bo saved, but fire
was discovered under the building where It
might at any time break out again and en
danger the rest of the block—especially
if the wind should swing to the north.
Therefore, the Co-op wrecker was brought
out and the remaining part of the building
pulled into the pit so that it would bum
without any danger to othor buildings.
George Snail brought out his now red bull
dozer and pushed all debris and the board
•sidewalk in front of the building into tl;e
fire also. It was fortunate that this was
done as the wind did change during the
night'end was blowing rather hard from the
north. All during the fire there had been
a south wind which carried the sparks
away from that block. Mr. Carson in the
new Bakery building reported that hugo
sparks foil in front of the now cement
Bakery building, during the fire.
Mr. and Mrs. Horton and family lost every
thing with the exception of what they were
wearing. Mr, Horton was out of town at
the time and returned aftor the building
was down. Every effort had been made to
find him during the fire. Friends found
a place for the family to stay'until they
could find new living quarters,
Mr. Harold Koslosky and George Humford ar
rived in Palmer during'the fire. They *
come up' from Anchorago.
