Lexington (KY) Herald, January 23, 1906
Jan 22. - Glasgow suffered a $100,000 fire this morning. Four buildings on 
South Green street were burned. The fire originated in the rear of E. A. 
HEISER's meat and grocery store, and was discovered shortly after 1 o'clock by 
C. L. WING, who had sleeping quarters in the building. The fire had gained 
such headway that it was impossible to save the building or any of its 
contents. The store of BRADFORD Bros., on the south side, and the Odd Fellow's 
buiding, on the north, occupied by GOAD Bros. as a grocery, then caught fire. 
As usual, water was scarce and the firemen were handicapped.

"The losses are about as follows: E. A. HEISER, stock of goods and fixtures, 
$1,600; building owned by B. F. BRADFORD, $4,500; C. L. WING, household goods, 
$300; BRADFORD Bros., stock of goods and building, $50,000; GOAD Bros, stock 
of goods, $2,200; Masonic Hall, $14,000; Barren County Grocery and Hardward 
Company stock of goods, $15,000; building owned by J. P. DEPP, $8,500; the 
Witness, published by J. P. BROOKS [he was a Baptist minister], $700; law 
office of H. C. GORIN, library and furniture, $1,000.

"The origin of the fire is unknown. Some think spontaneous combustion was the 
cause, but the majority are of the opinion that it was the work of an 
incendiary. HEISER, in whose store the blaze started, states there had been no 
fire there since Friday."
