may be probable, as drunken carousing was
continued there all night, and no fire being in
the store during the latter part Of the day or
evening, The fire commenced on the
corner of Broadway and Main streets.
When the alarm was given, the fire was in its
.incipiency, 9l.t before any effort could be
made towaIa xtinguishing it. the whole build

was blowing from the southwest, which car
ried the flames to the livery aud feed stables of

check the flames from going north on Main
street, and to prevent tho buildings on the
east side of Main street from catch
ing. All efforts were futile, and the
fire spread towards the north where the bank
was situated. II then commenced to go west
