ANOTHER FIRE.
An Old Landmark Gone-Heavy Losses
and Light Insurance.

Monday night just after IL O'Clock
the fire alarm sounded, and those who
were awakened FASTENED to Main street
of Main and Maple streets near the
bridge a mass of flames. The fire
evidently started under the large new
building owned by Joseph Stephens,
and occupied by J. A. Tozer, agent
for Mccormick Harvesting Machine
Co. This building being very open
the flames rushed through it with
lightning speed and communicated at
once with the corner building and at
the same moment with the old black
smith shop, 50 long known as Ste
phen's shop, and more recently occu-
pied by Griffin 4 Burns. A line was
at once formed to the river on the
north side of the old Crossman build
ing, and water was passed rapidly as
soon as pals could be procured which
the generosity of the merchants pro-
vided as soon as possible. Meanwhile
many hands were busy clearing out
the contents of the burning buildings
and those threatened on the north side,
and the street was filled with furni,
ture and merchandise piled i'll heaps
at every point near by where it was
thought to he safe. The corner build
| ing burned slowly, it's frame being of
oak, but in a little over an hour the
last timber fell, and the place so late
| " crowded with buildings presented
an unsightly waste. The parties who
suffered losses are as follows: Chas.
Krauth, building, value 1900. In
surance $500. Jos. Stephens, building,
| $4,000. Insurance $4,000. McCor-
mick Co., 1900. No insurance.
]. II. Thompson, tools, $3.50. No in
surance. Griffin & Burns, 81 900. No
insurance. Geo. Sherer, loss in NOV
ing goods and damage to building,
500 Fully covered by insurance.
Johnson Bros, some hay and grain.
Loss not known. Fred. Rolpe's saloon
furniture and stock, 5000. No insur-
ance. With other small losses not
specified the total loss will figure mp
nearly or quite $4,000, upon which
there is but about So, 900 insurance.
There can be no doubt that the fire
was of incendiary origin, as every
thing points to this conclusion, and
while it seems hard thing to believe
that any person can be 80 wanton as
without any visible motive to destroy
the property of others we are forced
to the conclusion that some one has
read too extensively the dime novels
of the period and desires to immortal
ize himself by his baseness, at least in
his own Imagination. Some clues
have been found which point to par
ticular ones, but at this date the de-
velopments have not reached sufficient
defniteness to pronounce with abso-
lutte certainty.

that it is perfectly pure, of good quail
