On Main street, a number Of snug dwell

whole square from Water to Main street,
and from Michigan, with the exception OF
barn and two or three small tenemenis
on Huron street Two of the dwelling
houses were owned by Robert Leggs, the
industrious porter Of The Milwaukee House,
and not insured.
The above estimate does not include a
large portion of the buildings which were
occupied as stores, as we were unable, in
many instances, TO ascertain the names OF
owners. The whole amount of loss can.
not be less than EIGHTY THOUSAND
! DOLLARS-about one half covered by
insurance.

agencies in Milwaukee, are sufferers in the
following amounts, us near DIS we ceulC
ascertaln:

falling Of one Of the fire hooks, while pu
ling down building.
The weather was very calm when III
fire broke out, which alone saved it fror
spreading TO greater extent. AT on
