and the flames were blown directly toward
the mill itself. But by the heroic efforts
of the citizens, with pals, and with the
aid OF the hose belonging to the mill. the
progress of the fire was checked, until the
arrival of endorsements from below.
Every inch Of ground was holly contested,
and such streams of water were poured on
the inhammable materials, that they burn
ed less readily, although it was impossible
to extinguish the fire entirely
AID FROM ST. PAUL.
Meantime kilograms to st. Paul and
Minneapolis had been flying thick and
fast appealing for help. As stated in yes
terday's DISPATCH, on receipt Of this ap
peal, Mayor Maxfield promptly sent the
steamer Minnehaha on special train,
accompanied by Thomas Cochran, Jr and
L. E. Reed, Esq, who had large
interests at stake in the endangered prop
erty. In just 81 minutes from the time of
leaving St. Paul, the 2S miles to Anoka
had been traversed, and in two minutes
more the gallant Minnehaha chad a stream
on and from that moment victory began
to perch upon the banners Of the fire
fighters.
THE FLAMES SUBDUED.
The Minnehaha arrived at 4:35 and by
half past seven the fire had been nearly ex-
tinguished. But the smouldering flames
burst forth in spots all the evening and
required constant diligence to prevent adj
ditional damage. until late in the night
the welcome rain came down and stopped
further progress. Fortunately the main
portion of the town lay to the rear Of the
flames in the direction from which the
wind came and it was thus saved from a
wide spread disaster
THE LOSSES.
The loss by the fire, SO far as it can be
estimated at this writing is three million
feet of lumber belonging to the Wash
burn mill, a little over two million feet be-
longing to the Anoka mill, fifteen Or six
teen small dwelling houses, numerous
sheds, Offices, out houses, etc. Also
about 800 feet of the main track Of the St
Paul and Pacific railroad was destroyed by
the burning Of ties Fortunately no cars
were burned, and the large railroad brid sc
as we'll as the mills of the AnOka Lumber
Co.. the St. Paul Lumber Co., ETC., es-
capped.
TIE DAMAGE
cannot now be accurately estimated, but IN
later editions Of to-day's DISPATCH we
hope to give other and more definite de-
tails.

that such action will be invoked very soon.

he would not remain in the building two hours
