THE HEPPNER FIRE DOES $4,000 DAMAGE EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING. Drug Store, Barber Shop and Con fectionery Stock Burned Building Destroyed- Heppner, May 26. Fire of unknown origin which broke out in the wooden building acroB from the Palace hotel in this city early this morning complete ly destroyed the big building and did considerable damage to the stock of drugs carried in one of the departments, the barber shop and confectionery store. As soon as the fire was discovered the alarm was turned in and every effort made to extinguish the flames. Seeing that the building was doomed volunteers came to the assistance and helped to re move the f u mishings and goods in the stores. The drug stock was not a total loss, but the barber shop was ruined as was also the confectionery store. The building was owned by J. W. Morrow, tax agent for the O. B. & N who is out of the city at present. The drug store was owned by J. A. Patter son, the barber shop by Joe Gibson and the confectionery store by Mr. Crossley. The total loss is about $1,000.
