 SALT LAKE, Utah, July 3.-The fire which destroyed Hailey, Idaho, started | in the Nevada Bakery, corner of Maine | and Carbonate streets, and spread with | alarming rapidity. Everybody thought | the Merchants hotel, next to the corner. would stop the flames, but owing to the high wind the fire swept through the | row Of frame buildings to the hotel, a brick building. The flames swept along Main street, consuming buildings sup posed to be fire proof as if they were finder. The heat was so oppressive that | the firemen had to desert their hose cart, and consequently the town was left to the mercy of the fire. Word was sent to Bellville, five miles south, and her company hurried to the scene with all available apparatus, but too late to be of service. After leaving the Mer- chants hotel corner, the fire swept south to the next block, jumped the street to the east and returned north along the street, burning all the business houses with the single exception of Friedman & O., fire proof building. Of the four blocks of solid brick nothing is left but this one store. The burned district in- cludes the entire business portion, and takes in but few residences, so there will be no Restitution. The insurance on the property destroyed will exceed S150,- GOO. A number of the largest loosers were not insured Among the heaviest loosers are: Koffin & O., about S100.- insured for S57 7,000r Idaho Forwarding Company, S25,000; Merchants Hotel, S40,0O0; J. A.

 The little mountain town to-day pre- seuts very melancholy appearance, and whato owas but few hours ago the most prosperous town in Idaho is now a mass of smouldering ruins. Nearly all the merchants will rebuild as soon as possible.
