port OF the destructive Hre WDlcn
occurred 10 PlatteVille early Thurs
day morning reached US too late for
notice in the last issue of the Herald.
From the Witness account of the fire
we CLEAN as follows:
The fire started in Mr.. a. S. Lott
mans saloon and from there it ex-
tended north destroying Mr.. VIM.
Meyers harness shop, John Kruse's
meat shop and c. Kistler's Jewelry
shop. Here the progress of the fire
was arrested by the large brick build
ing Of Mr.. Franz Berg. la the
meantime the fire was extending it
self aonth and first the saloon of j.
| R. Stephens was destroyed then the
| saloon If Siemers & Thiele, then the
dry goods store of Mr.. Kettler, the
boot and shoe shop Of Mr. T. Karr-
man, the cigar mandatory Of Mr..
S. Stoinbach, the drug store Of T. O.
| Drinkall and tho grocery store Of
Mr. ID. Wilson were all totally des-
troyed.
OF the losses it is almost impossi-
bic to arrive at anything ike fair
estimate. A great many goods were
saved. but some in q damaged condi-
ton The heaves! losers were Messrs
Siemers Il Thiele who estimate their
loss at sc. 900. II O. Drinkall thinks
his loss will reach 5000. Mr. Steph-
ems estimates his loss at $500, Meyer
at 81 900, Wilson at $500, Steinbach
0t 81 900 Mr.. Hodges, had 5000 in
surance on his half of the building
Destroyed Ketilar was partially in
sured. The remainder Of the suffer
