A fire broke out at $50 last night IN
frame building on the north side OF |.
street, between Third and Fourth, and re-
suited in the almost complete destruction
of three one-story double frame buildings,
occupied by women of the deni- mohde- Ii
was caused by a disagreement between i
man and woman in the center mouse OF tue
three, occupied by Lucy Smith, tapie pc
ing pushed aside with such violence tllat q
lamp resting upon II was thrown 10 !ne
floor and exploded, igniting everything
near it, and the house being an old cloth
aud-paper-lined affair, the blaze spread
with great rapidity. By the time the ilre-
men arrived the flames had extended to the
houses adjoining, and in few minutes the
three buildings, comprising six tenements,
all of which had been occupied, were burn
ing with an intense heat. The iremen
stood to their work like salamandeTs, ana
smothered the fire with remarkable celerl-
ty. Fortunately there was very little WIND
prevailing, or Wilson's stables and other
buildings north of the burning structures
would have been in serious danger. When
engine No. l arrived and attached TO the
plug on the northwest corner OF Third and
l. streets water pressure of ten pounds
was all that could be obtained from it, but
the other plugs used gave plenty OF water,
as did this one after short time, which
indicates that it must have been stopped
up with mud. The building in which the
fire originated, and that adjoining IL on the
east, were owned by Charles Nogel, and
were insured. Their furniture was owned
by Anita PARA, who also had an insurance.
The building furthest west belonged to
Charles Heinrich, who had an insurance
There is more of it remaining than OF the
others. J. T. Barron owned the furniture,
which was uninsured. About $3.50 had
recently been spent upon this structure
repairing and papering it, etc. The fire
spread so quickly that very little property
was saved from any of the houses. A
small brick building, next on the east to
those burned, occupied as a Chinese wash
house, was slightly damaged.
