Another Big Fire in Ruston.
Ruston was visited by another big fire last Thursday morning (February 2nd) which destroyed a whole block of frame buildings and caused a loss of about $40,000 covered by about $25,250 insurance.
The fire started in the building occupied by Fever and Goldberg on Trenton street and the whole block extending from the Ruston State bank on the north to Thompson, Richie & Co. on the south, seven buildings in all were burned.
This big fire coming so soon after the one which visited Ruston in December makes it pretty hard on the town.
