A fire at 4 o’clock Sat. morning destroyed the tailor shop of Frank Norman in the rear of the Ford and Graves Barber shop on N. Market. The loss is expected to be about $150 with no insurance. It was discovered by Mrs. Alice Peebles who lives in an apartment above the shop by smoke pouring up through the floors. Men from the Crescent Restaurant and other nearby places broke into the rear door and extinguished the flames. The barber shop received little damage.
