How the fire originated we could notearn Mr. fInch'
salesman for Ellis King had not left the store fifteen
minutes when the alarm given and he used every
possible precaution with the fires in the stores There
was no loss of life as reported through the City during
the evening
We need not add that great praise Is due the renen
for their exertions and daring braveyas they ever do
they fought with the devouring enemy without fear or
iuchinp and to their weldireced and continued efforts
alone may be ascrbed the safety OF the entire block Tor
never did flames rage more furiousy offer more des-
perate resistance.
