1976 newspaper article.
Article reads…

An early morning fire caused &75,000 worth of damage to Ruby Tuesday’s, a night club in the Wichita suburb of Haysville.
Gary Nichols, Sedgwick County police chief, said evidence indicated arson was the cause of the fire.
There were signs of forced entry and wires to the smoke detector were cut. Nichols said the fire department discovered the fire when smoke detectors in an adjacent building alerted them. Nichols said.
Nichols said his department is still trying to determine what was used to start the fire.
no one was injured in the blaze.

Anyone recall where Ruby Tuesdays was located? I assume it was on South Broadway.
