building on the East Side Of the Public Square, &C
cupied by Thos. Choate, a variety store, and
KoUns 81 Richardson as q saloon. The fire origina-
ted in the portion occupied by air. Choate, and
doubtless the result of inoendiarism. Mr.. Da

ing, says when he reached the spot strong flame
shooting out into the alley from the lower part
of the building. Mr.. John Kennedy, who had not
gone to bed, and who was on the spot in few min
utes Is confident that he saw the torch burning that
had been used to accomplish the work. barrel
Of water just here would have stopped the eonfagra
ton, but it could not be procured in time. In q
few minutes the entire building was in flames, and
in less than two hours that whole side Of the
was in ruins.
In the confusion incident to such occasions it is
impossible to arrive anything like correct es-
innate ofeach ones loss but the general lossis cal
culated at about $4,000 about half of which was
covered byinsurance. a great deal Of the stock Of
some was saved in a greatly damaged condition.
We can only give the names of the business men
who suffered, commencing at the southeast corner:
Mcclure & Eel, dry goods; Exc Bunch, Saloon
Stacy & Johnson, dry goods; Dig Mason, drugs
Jno. D. lautt & Co., hardware Sumpter & Pear

Abe Finley, saloon j. T. Fisher, groceries Trep-
pard & Co., stoves and tinware.
This comprises the list ofthe owners of the goods
but Of the buildings were owned by other par
ties. During the burning good order prevailed and
everybody worked to the best of their ability. We
have heard ofno loss by pilluge.
As write, the square is covered with the goods
Of the different houses, each one endeavOring to
take Of his own, many not having been able to
find places to store them away.
Next week VIC viii cndeavor to give more de-
