l. discovered in the rear end of the Wester
,S House, which is owned by Charles Kueh
or and occupied by Charles Weber as
70. boarding house and saloon. The alarr
no was given and the hose companies wer
!, promptly on hand and succeeded in keer
N0 ing the fire within the room where it orig
ay mated. The only damage done by the fr
is was the destruction of an old, one stor
RS frame building. used as a kitchen, an
:; which was separated from the main builC
" ing by brick wall, although the furnitur
&c and windows in the main part were dan
EN- aged considerably by the water. M
it Weber says the fire was first discovere
7s- around colmney in the kitchen, and CIV,
i'd it as his opinion that the fire originate

nst 1t is impossible to ascertain the exa
cry loss, but it is from $500 to 5000. and
M fully insured, though Mr.. Kuehl was I'm
ais BILE to tell in what company.

could not have reached the river in a DOS
oro ton to have been of any service, and vii

for B. Petersons saloons. and Peterson's d
goods and grocery store, would have be.
on, inevitable had it not been for the waite
works.
