OLD DEER LopoERs THE PRINCIPAL
LOSERS.
Speciai to the Ne,o Nor1t-W FEST:
BUTTE, June Cat LIS .. m. to-day, an
alarm of fire was sounded. The free or'gi-
mated In The rear of the Furns .ure Rooms of
b. Pe1lit, on West Broadway. II is not
known how 1t originated, but Is supposed TO
have been the result Of carelessness. In less
than an hour five buildings, Pettit's Furniture
Warerooms. the Workingmen's Hospital,
owned by Hendrickson and Holmes; the
residences Of Henry McMurphy and Mrs.
Loegers, and the room of d. G. Allen were
burned to the ground. Fortunately the night
was still and the rain Of an hour or two pre-
vious, In addition to the efforts OF the c'ti-
zens. was sufficient to save from destruction
the adjoining buildings. Old time Deer
Lodgers Jared badly. Among the sufferers
are Henry McMurphy, who saved his house
hold effec.s but had his residence burned;
loss, $500. Doctor Holmes, who owned
half of the Workingmen;s hospital, lost 81
500; b. Petit, building and furniture, about
5000; ID. G. Allen, building, $1,000; Herman
Graf, house and furniture, loss unknown.
It is believed there is no insurance on any of
the foregoing. The building adjoining Mr..
Aliens was owned by DIR. Reins, and was
saved, though considerably damaged. j. I.
Woodward's furniture was all taken out of
the house, and the building was somewhat
damaged. A number Of Other families and
dodgers also moved their effects.
Butte has steam engine, but no water
supply. 1t is to be hoped this mornings fire
will arouse the business men Of Butte that
they may unite in an endeavor to precipitate
the bringing to the city of water supply so
badly needed. M.a
