RANDOLPH - Friday morning the annex to the big McLean Merchantile Co’s. store in our neighboring town to the west was found to be on fire.
Several auto loads of Randolph people hurried to the scene prepared to give what aid they could knowing that McLean is without fire protec tion. The vigorous and persistent working of the bucket brigade did the business and the fire was quenched.
A considerable quantity of goods were damaged by smoke, fire and water; the roof was burned through and the damage to the building will amount to considerable, all covered, we understand by insurance.
So far as we have learned the cause of the fire is not known. The building damaged is not the main store building, but still it had lots of goods in it and was used as a salesroom for the heavier articles of the stock.
