Fire investigators in Drumright know where a sweeping fire started that left an old building in ashes, but they don't know how it started.

The fire happened Friday night and cut off power to more than half the town and forced Drumright's emergency crews to work on generator power.

Crews restored power within a day. Investigators say the fire started in the southwest corner of the building.

The town's Fire Chief estimates the loss at about 200 thousand dollars, but says the town lost more than a building, it lost a piece of its history.

The building housed nearly a century's worth of archived newspaper clippings, several antique cars and other town relics.
