Efird's Department
Store Catches Afire
Monday night about 10:30, fire was
discovered in the rear of the dry goods
department of the Efird Department
store, in Forest City, by two young
men, as they were on their way to their
homes and the alarm was quickly given.
Chief Kendrick immediately assembled
a crowd by discharging his two 45's,
and an entrance to the store was
imediately affected by smashing in the
front door.
The store had been closed and
all the lights put out, on account of
preaching at the Baptist Church. The
fire had not made much headway when
discovered and the damage was not
very great, probably $l5O. The fire
had caught in the back end on a counter
of shirt-waists, skirts and one piece
dresses, and these were in a blaze when
the fire was discovered.
It is presumed the fire originated
from a cigaret, laid on the table by
some one, when they went to shut the
back window. However this is only
supposition. No one of the employees
remembers to have been smoking at the
time. It may have been caused from
a match and a rat.
It may never be clearly known how
the fire originated. This one thing is
known—if the fire had not been discov
ered when it was, the larger part of
the business district would have went
up in smoke.
