S1,oOO,00O I'm Losses, Half Insured
Only-1 900 Men Made Idle.
LACROSSE, WIS, April 6.-Fire broke
out at 10 O'Clock this forenoon in John
PauPs saw mill and lumber yard, which
were swept away. Coeman's mill and
lumber yard next disappeared, and the
flames spread among the lumber piles
ana factories in all directions, but the
progress was greatest to the southwest.
Tue hre department was unable to cope
win the conhagratiOn, and assistance
Was sent from Sparta and Winona. The
sparta engines had arrived. Milwaukee
sent TWO engines fully manned on spe-
clal train. The distance is 200 miles.
THE ORIGIN.
The hre was caused by spark from
mill stack or furnace and famed by
strong north wind soOn got beyond con-
troll. AT O'clock the total area already
burned over was five blocks long and
BLOCK and halt wide. Besides the ex
tenslve lumber mills Of Messrs. Paul &
Colman, with the great planing mills and
factories, the Lacrosse soap factory and
immense st0renOuses filled with seasoned
lumher, lath and shingles, and eight
dwellings were burned. The tO'a loss at
this Time was placed at from 100000 to
$1,000, ,O0O-only alfinsured. One thOus-
NAA AASh al Iui OWu Oub Ot tlIDlOs iioubs
FINALLY sUBDUED.
The fire was completely under control
by 2:3O O'Clock this afternoon. The en-
mes from WinOna, Mimi, and Sparta
rennere excellent aid. Engines from
81. Paul and Minneapolis were ready TO
start by special train, but were tele-
graphed to stop. A careful estimate OF
the loss places it at between $500 600 and
$l,OOJ,OOO. OF the individual heavy losers
G. l.. Coleman is the greatest, his loss
being 100000, with no insurance. JOhn
Pauls' loss, besides 5000, 600 feet OF lum-
Der, is estimated at $lj0.000. He
is insured for 100000. The fire
laid waste ten blocks, which included
two OF the largest lumber yards in Wis
consin aud some eighty small houses.
Fully 1000 men are thrown out Of en-
ployment and 400 persons are rendered
homeless. 1t was by far the most de-
structive fire that ever visited Lacrosse,
and but for the favorable wind the entire
southern part of the city would have
been swept away.
