which proved TO be the largest and most
destructive Of It's kind that has ever &C.
CURED In this city, was discovered at
about 2 o'clock this afternoon Ia the
lumber yards Of Knapp, Stout & Co., at
the corner Of Angelica street and Brennan
avenue An alarm Of fire was immedi-
ately tnrned on and two engines were
soon al the scene. They were, however,
owing 10 the poor water supply, unable 10
cope from the flames, which were driven
by strong wind aud soon communi-
Gated 10 the nearest lumber piles and
were making rapid Roadway toward the
Union stOck-yards, the destruction OF
which seemed for time inevitable.
However; the wind soon drifted to the
opposite direction and they were saved,
but the lnmber-yards were doomed In
the meantime more alarms had been sent
IN and twenty engines were called out.
The water supply however, was entirely
insufficient for the emergency, and the
danes lcaped from pile - pile Of dry
lumber with incredible Swiituess. The
hte was not confined TO one portion Oi the
yards, for sparks and burning splnters
were carried In every direction
by the wind and the whole
territory # the yards, covering
thifly.hye acres Of ground, seemed TO be

u the fremen, which would evidently
have been frui,lcss il directed toward
suodulug the flames, were from this time
employed IN keeping them from spread
ing and in this they were successful. The
FIRE was allowed TO burn Hsr,i out and at
the end II four hours $4,000, 900 feet Of
lumber was total loss. The contents Of
the yards was mostly lumber Of superior
grades and the loss on this account Is
very heavy, 100000 The company's
stables were also consumed The total
insurance cannot at this hour be ascer-
tanned, but II is estimated at S275 600.

BEDFORD, Iowa, July l4.--H. p. Long,
who has just returned with a party from
a fishing excursion on the Nodaway, has
puncture through the little finger OF his
right hand, the result Of novel encoun-
ter with a catfish. The party used little
frogs for bait, aud these were kept In a
large can in the edge OF the water. Mr.
+. i. Walker went out into the stream
to bait the trout-line and Mr.. Long
drew out the frog-can; as he was opening
1t his foot slipped on a smooth stone and
the frogs spilled into the water, quickly
followed by Mr.. Long. AS he fell he in
voluntarily threw out his hand to save
himself, and in so doing struck some
sharp-polnted object, which went entirely
through the fieshy part of his little finger
With a cry OF pain he jerked his hand out
of che water and landed a catfish which
had been attracted by the advent of the
frogs and the prospect OF feast to the
precise spot where Mr.. Longs hand
struck the water. The fish weighed four
and three-quarters pounds.
