A Mysterious Midnight Fire-The
Losses. Etc,


Wednesday morning about 2 o'clock
Fitzpatrick's hotel at Minnewaukan,
Benson county, was found to be on fire,
the flames coming from the rear or
kitchen portion of the building. The
town is without fire protection and con-
sequently the flames had full Roadway.
The next building to catch was what was
known as the Franklin building, which
was being used as a store house by G. &
l.. Budde. From this the fire passed
rapidly to tile real Of Budde's store
proper, in the Lawler block. This block,
consisting of three large stores, in which
were Mann's drug store and Berg & Pet
erson's saloon, was soon wiped out. and
then two other structures, a millinery
store and John Geary's saloon. Here a
vacant lot partially stayed the sweep Of
the flames, enabling the citizens by the
use of wet blankets on Mather's general
store, in which was also located the post.
office, to stop the fire entirely. Follow
ing is a diagram of the burnt district.
The remainder of the block is we'll built
up and, as above stated, was saved by
the heroic efforts of the citizens. Math-
er's store where the fire was stopped, is
badly damaged:

Farm and Hail Insurance.

Walter H. Cobban, special agent in
North Dakota for the Dakota Fire e. Ma
rine Insurance Co., of Chamberlain, is
in the city and has appointed E. j. Han
son and Chas. J. Larson as the company's
agents in Ramsey county. Mr.. Cobban
could not have obtained two better men
for the business. Both are well-known,
and where Ed fails to write q policy it
will be where there was any hail
or fire and never will he. AS to the COM
pany itself, the statement made last year
and the promptness with which it paid
all losses are sufficient guarantees that
our farmers may depend upon fair treat
ment at it's hands. The assets O the CON-
pany are nearly aquarter of million
dollars the liabilities not quite 500, 600.
Tho increase in business for 1885 over
1884 was $773, l53.S5. The company did
1921 ,57S.O9 worth of business last year.
Messrs. Hanson e. larson, the agents for
this county, will show the testimonials
Of well-known men who did business
with the company last year, and our
farmers should see them before placing
their insurance with other companies.
The Fire & Marine is purely u Dakota
institution and is worthy Of recognition
and patronage,
