MinneWaukan Fire.

Yesterday morning at half past tw o
O'Clock, fire broke OUT in the Fitzpatrick
hotel at Minnewaukan, and burned the
entire row of stores to the postoffice. The
block was built by Mrs. Lawler, sister
of NJ. D. Flint, one of the oldest citizens
of Minnewaukan. The store Of Budde
Bros, the heaviest general merchants in
the town, was entirely burned with their
immense stock of goods. The Franklin
store, barber shop and saloon, were also
totally desteoyed. There was insurance
of 81 900 on the Fitzpatrick house, 81, 500
on the store room occupied by the Budde
brothers, who had purchased 1t from Mrs.
Lawleo, and 81, 900 on the other portion
of the row owned by Mrs. Lawler. The
origin Of the fire is unknown, and no ef-
fort would stay the flames, although it
was still night, with but little wind
bloNlng. The block burned is the larg-
est and most valuable, next to the Ar
Engton hotel, in the town, and its des-
truction IS severe blow to the place.

Francis to show cause why his receiver

tanned great notoriety throughout the

Judge Francis in his appointment of the
