The Benson Times asserts that several
deaths have occurred in this place from
cerebro spinal menengitis, and the Advo
cate reports that spotted fever was raging
hereabouts We do not know who started
these lying reports; but they are lies, such
as only first-class lying knave is capable
of originating and circulating. These pa
pers would confer favor by promptly
contradicting these runors. The fact is
that only one death has occurred in this
village during the month, and that was
from scarlet fever.

some idea of the extent of the city of Lon

of streets, and on an average 90 miles of
new streets are opened and 0 900 new houses
built every year; 1000 vessels and 1900

also in proportion to its extent, $4,000 per.

Last Sunday aprairie fire swept down up
on the village of Ortonville, in spite OF
every effort the flames leaped the fire guards
and swept away the entire business por-
ton of the town From an eye witness we
obtain the following particularsI
The wind Sunday was blowing gale
from the southeast, and several parties no.
ticing large prairie fire to wind ward or
gauized force and back fired or burned
and plowed strip around the outskirts of
the village Thinking that the space
burned and ploughed was sufficient to pre-
vent the flames leaping across it, the peo-
pie left and went to their homes. In
short time the smoke warned the inhabi
tants that the fire was approaching the
town, and forty or fifty men went to meet
it and prevent if possible its leaping the
guard. The wind had by this time in
creased to perfect hurricane which swept
the burning grass before it in such sheets
of flame that it jumped the back-tiring and
in spite of every effort communicated to the
buildings. Once there all hope Of saving
the town was abandoned and every body
started to attempt to save their families
So rapid did the fire spread and with such
force did the wind carry the burning en-
bers that what goods were carried into the
streets were destroyed. Several persons,
whose names We did not learn, were badly
burned, and one or two narrowly escaped
suffocation. The following is list of the
losses
P.J. Gessner, Farm Machinery.
Wood Bros, Hardware Lumber and
Farm Machinery.
F. Shumaker. Lumber, General Mer-
chandise, Farm Machinery etc.
G. w. Parker's Law Office and dwelling.
Nettlcton Williams & Nero, Groceries
and General Merchandise.
HB. Woodley's Store building (unoccu-
pied).
Cooks Hotel Stable
A. J Parker's Residence.
c. K Orton's Stable.
The fire crept in on the opposite side of
town and destroyed the stables aud sheds.
There Was not stable left standing in
town, several valuable horses and some
stock Was also burned. F. Shumaker's
loss is $4,000, insurance $1,000; Wood
Bros, $4,000, Insurance $500. The other
losses We were unable to learn, but il is
safe to estimate the total at $35 900 The
North Star office and few of the build
ings on the upper side of the street escaped.
