Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Courier, March 3, 1899, p. 3. Losses in Ellettsville Fire. A long distance telephone message from Ellettsville to the World-Courier last night places the losses in the Ellettsville fire as follows: W. C. Draper's lost on building, $12000. Insurance $1000. Lee Malicoat's loss on hardware $2400. Insurance $1400. Joseph Freeman's loss on undertaking goods and furniture $1000, insured. Mr. Malicoat's loss was the greatest as he saved only a few stoves. It is more than likely the building will be rebuilt. The firms have already rented other rooms and expect to open out for business in a few days. It is the general supposition that the fire which started on the stairway, was of incendiary origin. Constance T.
