boiler. This exploded and sent fire
brands i'm every direction. The extreme
dryness of the weather made everything
exceedingly combustible, and in n few
minutes almost the entire square, which
was covered by lumber, was ablaze. The
; fire soon reached the new cattle sheds OF
, the Little Miami railway and they were
, consumed. The small dwellings
in the vicinity soon fell prey
, to the flames, and the occu-
pants eScNpeu WITH utiicully, curTylnH
, away only their lightest articles of fur
nituro. The burning buildings and the
telegraph and telephone poles fell across
, the railroad, consuming the ties and
blocking the passage of all the trains Ia
! and from the Little Miami depot. There
! was lack of water and the tiromen
: worked at great disadvantage. A mum
