Fire of unknown origin broke out Friday night about 4 o’clock in the colored café on Trade Street operated by Jim Franks, and before the flames could be checked, the furniture and contents of the building were practically destroyed.
The building, owned by John Ward, was also damaged to the extent of several hundred dollars. A section of the building used for the manufacture of A.C. & O. rat destroyer was also damaged, only a wood partition separating this part from the café.
