Humbert 4 Co. as dry goods store. at
Ruthsburg, III. The flames had good
start before they were discovered, and even
when the entire town had been aroused
very little could be done to check the pro-
gress of the fire. as there was no regularly
organized fire department. All the men
IN the city, however, tnrne out. and find
ing it impossible to save the block in
which the blaze had st ,rted. did their
utmost. by thoroughly DIR nching adjoining
buildings. to keep the fire from spreading.
In this they We're successful and the flames
were confined to the stores and buildings
in the one block. The largest losers nre
