ted. Water was carried in buckets aud |
all the adjoining wood piles and houses |
were saved. The fire engine was got in |
position by some one tolerable early and |
fred up, but no engineer WAS to be found. |
Rumor had it that MIR. Boulett who is hired |
by the City to attend that business could |
not be found, was asleep and refused to
awaken. 1t was also rumored that the
lamps which he was paid to keep trimmed
and ready for burning were out of order,
and couldinot be lighted and it was fur
ther rumored that the hose carts were
fourd to be minus the hose, and after be-
ing run to the fire had to be run back after
the hose. These were rumors. we print
them as such, but there is this one fact on
which they rest, the cause for which will
bear thorough investigation, to-wit: i. e.,
VIZ. namely, the steam fire engine which
was hauled out and placed at spring with
in forty feet Of where it is kept, did not
throw stream Of water for a full hour af-
ter the alarm Of fire was given. Had the
hre been in the business part Of the city,
or had there been q strong wind half of the
city would have been in ashes before the
engine commenced playing.
| This house was situated at the corner of
9Th and Bluff streets, was two story
frame above the basement, had been
used for years as a tenement house, and
was occupied ty seven families. The fur
niture in the house was mostly if not all
saved. One woman was seen in the crowd
with an ugly cash down the side of the
forehead supposed to have been received in
the hurry of removing furniture, further,
We believe no one received any injury
The house was probably worth ST., 500 and
is said to have been insured for $500. It
had recently been purchased by young
man by the name Of John Hanson an en-
ployee in the Red Wing Mills. and will
doubt less be quite loss to him.
