HEAT RUINS 12 CARS OF EGGS.
Fire at Independence Ice Plant
Causes $25,000 Loss.
Fire at the ice plant in Independence yesterday morning destroyed the greater part of the product in the cold storage rooms. The machinery of the ice plant was not damaged. Mr. Hatton, one of the owners, stated yesterday that the loss probably would reach $25,000 on the storage goods, but the building could be restored for about $8,000.
Twelve cars of eggs probably will be lost on account of the high temperature, caused by the flames. The origin of the fire is not known.
