yards of Stanhiller, Amos & Co. and A. D.
Peck are burning, and fire has broken out
IN the Morgan block near by. The flames
are beyond control and the mayor has tel
egraphed 10 Fond du Lac for aid. A loss
OF several hundred thousand dollars is
anticipated, as the wind is blowing a

and Milwaukee, although fierce for fire
hours, during a terrific gale, was finally
mastered after terrible hand fight. The
fire broke out in the lumber yard of Stan
hilber d company about noon, and al
though it worked down stream towards the
other mills and factories slowly, it burned
over large territory and consumed a large
amount of lumber. 1t was checked at the
leeward extremely of of G. W. Pratrs

1t got into the lumber yard and sash and
door factory of Radford Bro, Just beyond.

were forced to move because of the prox-
unity to the fire district. Heaviest loss S
on Geo. Pratt, whose entire yard was con-
sumec. Loss $4,000; insurance $4,000.
