spread rapidly and, reaching some OF the oil
tanks, they caught fire and burst, the burning oil
running through the Streets setting fire 10 every
thing either side OF the street through which IL
passed, transforming the streets into river OF
fire. Almost the entire contents of the wooden
stores and dwellings were consumed, the flames

attempts were made a short time ago 10 burn the
town, and since night Waterman has been put
