other guests about the house at the time
the fire occurred. The flames spread so
rapidly that three railroad men were
burned to death and fourth one had leg
broken by jumping from a window. Three
fourths of the town was burned and the
loss is estimated at $4,000. The citizens
intend rebuilding Immediately, and will
use brick largely instead of frame.
Telegraphic communication with Coka-
to waa interrupted all daylyesterday, and
the above comprises all details re-
ceived. A passenger from Moorhead into
st. Paul yesterday morning, reports that
at the time the train passed that point,
4:O5 a. NJ, the fire was still burning
though virtually under control. In the
half hour the train remained at the station.
he was informed that all but one of the
business buildings of the village, twenty
or twenty-one in number, had been burned.
The fire started at 1:30 a. NJ, in the
southwest section of the village, and
famed by strong wind from
that direction, the flames communicated
almost Immediately to adjoining build
ings, and we're only subdued when there
was nothing else to destroy. At the time
the train passed through the origin of the
fire was a mystery, some claiming it was
incendiary, and others that it was from
bolt of lightning. Anyway, one of
the first buildings attacked was
a railroad boarding house, in which some
thirty-tive surface or division men were
sleeping. So rapid was the spread of the
flames that the three of the occupants. as
reported. lost their lives, the others escap-
ing N nothing but their night clothes.
The names of those lost in the fire,
as our informant understood them, were
John E. Lynch, Thomas Latferty and -
Shepard. Others in the building were
very badly burned, but names were not Sc
cured.
