ThIrty.n,e Acres OF Lumber DESTROYED BY Fire.

On Sunday last the lumber yards of Knapp,
Stout a. Co.. at St. Louis, were destroyed by
fire. When the fire was first discovered it might
have been checked had the water supply been
adequate. Sparks and burning splinters were
blown in every direction and the whole terri
tory of the yards covering 35 acres, was soon a
mass of burning lumber. The efforts of the
fremen were simply employed in keeping the
flames from spreading and in this they were
successful. The fire was allowed to burn, and
at the end of four hours %, 600 feet of lum-
Der were a total loss. The loss is estimated at
100000: insurance $275 600
