 PHENIx, Aug GA most disastrous fife broke out in this city this morn ing. No one knows how it started and it was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary.

Coates, gro- ceries; J. A. Wright, bakery; T. A. Seelig, tobacconist; St. Cloud Res taurant; William Hamm, saloon, and R. c. Pearson, saloon; these were all total losses, not having a dollars worth of insurance upon them. The Valley Bank, Goldman & Co. and the bank of Kales < Lewis were badly damaged by heat and water.
