THE FIRE.
An Old Landmark Gone.---A Sad
Surprise. $4,000.


Friday morning about Z o'clock the
alarm of fire was given, and the first
corners found the two story frame build
ing standing on the corner of Chatham
and Maple streets, and occupied by Her
bert Nevins as mandatory for bed
springs and wire mattresses, in flames
Efforts were made to prevent the spread
of the fire, but the inconvenience of get
ting water, as we'll as the small number
present, as the alarm was not generally
heard, retarded the work until it was too
late, and the double dwelling house close
adjoining west on Maple street, and
owned and occupied by S. W. Day, was
ignited and soon destroyed, with almost
its entire contents. Mr.. Day was in bed
at the time the fire began, while Mrs.
Day was absent in St. Paul, and so
little was done to save the household ef-
fects.
By the efforts of the Hook s. Ladder
Co., assisted by the citizens, the one story
building standing next west, and former
ly occupied by O. slocum for a photo
graph gallery and belonging to Mr.. Day
was saved.
Mr.. Nevins's loss on machinery will be
$500. Insurance, $3.50 in the Under

$3.50 in the German of Freeport. H.,

! Mr.. Days loss will be heavy, as he had
no insurance on either house or furniture.
| Loss estimated at $4,000
The Day house is an old land mark, and
for many years was used for county pur
poses, until some ten years ago when Mr..
Day purchased it, and fitted it up for a
residence. Mr.. and Mrs. Day have the
sympathy of the community in their
misfortune.
