o'clock last evening which resulted in a
loss of over $4,000. The fire started in
the sixth story Of the mill building where
the dust rooms are situated and is sup

down through the chutes leading to the

supporting the upper floor gave
way and the front wall fell over. Several
fremen and a number of others were
raising ladder to the upper floor windows

prevailed, as it was feared that several had
been buried beneath the falling brick and
timbers. AS soon as the cloud of dust and
smoke cleared off several injured persons
were taken out Of the ruins John Soran,
q fireman, received a severe scalp wound
and was generally bruised up, and it is
feared is injured internally. Gus Mettier,
young man who was assisting with the lad

that he will die, having received danger
