COOPER'S PLACE NEAR RUPERT IS BURNED FRIDAY
Faulty Electric Wiring Is Cause of Fire; Will Be Rebuilt Immediately
 
Rand Cooper, proprietor of Cooper's Place a combination store and eating 
establishment on the Ellaville Butler highway near Rupert, which was burned 
last Friday afternoon, this week made plans for rebuilding immediately.
 
Fire believed to have been caused by defective wiring destroyed the 
establishment shortly after 5 o'clock.  A number of persons were in the 
building when the fire was discovered but were unable to bring the flames 
under control.  The Butler fire department answered the alarm but arrived too 
late to curb the blaze.
 
Entire stock and virtually all furnishings were lost, Mr. Cooper declared.  He 
said insurance covered a portion of the loss and that he was unable to 
estimate the probable total loss.
