Estimated losses of between $30,000 and $35,000 were
Incurred Thursday night when fire of undetermined-
origin almost totally destroyed the H. O. Kesellng ware-

Firemen were hampered by
hundreds of spectators who
thronged around the area. Be-
fore Frers could block o f fhe
street in front of the warehouse,
a steady stream of cars was
passing only yards in front of
die burning warehouse.
An estimated 75 fire figlif-
