Fire at Fairview.

AT 7 80 o'clock Wednesday even
ing a fire broke out in the rear room
of DIR. Il. S. Stuart's Office on the
south side of Main street, Fairview,
which baflled control from the first.

Total losses ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $4,000
Messrs. Pye y Dicken had $4,000

This is the second confagration in
Fairview within the last year or two
and the houses burned are about the
only ones on that side of the street
that escaped the last big fire. The
town has no means of putting Out
fire, except by carrying water in
buckets from neighboring cisterns.

CHICAGO, May So p. m.-An alarm Of
fire was sounded from box 2l2, at the corner
of Thirty-fifth and Ullman streets, at 1:20
O'Clock to-day, quickly followed by second
alarm from box 2l4, corner of Halstead and
Thirty-ffth streets Shortly after the en-
gines had got under way for the scene
of the alarm second and third alarm came
in in rapid succession, and all of the engines
in the city started for the fire
The fire started from sparks from pass
ing engine in the extensive yards of the
Chicago Lumber company, near Thirty
fifth and Ullman Streets and quickly spread
out in every direction over the inflammable
surroundings, and by the time the first en-
gines arrived had made such headway
that an immense conhagration
was imminent 1t was but a
brief time when, before the high
wind, that portion of the lumber district
lying west Of Halstsd street to Ashland
avenue, from Thirty fifth to Thirty ninth,
was roaring mass Of flames. The fire
quickly spread among the houses on Thirty
fifth street and thence eastward toward
Halste1 street The main center of
the fire is spreading rapidly southwark,

other valuable property. At latest accounts
| the engines had arrived and the fremen
were making splendid efforts to prevent the
spread of the flames, but owing to the
pressure of the high wind not much was be-

the whole district had been swept no rea-

commended the purchase of fire boat, but
we never got it. Here is $3.50, 900 worth
