Fire!


On Thursday morning last, at about o'clock,
fire broke out in N. Dswney's saloon, in the
middle OF row of frame buildings, on the west
side OF La Sale street. In very few monents
the entire range Of baildings was in flames, and
but few of the goods in the stores were saved.
Tho buildings were owned and occupied a. fol-
lows:
Schneider, owner OF the building adjoining his
tobacco store, loss $4,000. insurance $1,000. DC.
cupied BY Taylor, butcher; loss probably $500.
Next horth, building owned BY VIM. Norris !;
loss about $1,000; no insurance; occupied by
E. W. Drew, grocer; loss $4,000; no insurance.
Adjoining him, and in tho same direction, was
John Hobans store. . largo sstablishment
He was the owner Of tho entire estsblishment,
and his loss is probably $4,000.
Next was Irioa's bakery. He lost everything,
even he and his family barely escaped naked, the
neighbors furnishing them with clothing. His
loss is about $4,000; insurance $1,000
North Of him was Downey's saloon; loss, per-
haps, $500.
Then came Robinsons -four and feed store :;
loss $1,000; and Mrs. Hughes bakery stock, tho
latter saved.
The last three mentioned building. werc
known as the E. L. Waterman property, and not
insured.
The city fire engines were on hand, but failed
to get up much Of q show of water, and had it
not been for Peter Russells force pump and hose,
probably half the town would have shared the
fate Of the row burned down.
