HALEY BURNED.



At 1:30 on the morning OF Jr-
ly 2l FIRE broke out at the
Nevada Bakery, corner Of Main
and Carbonate Streets, and spread
with wonderful fapidity. 1t was
hoped that the Merchants Hotel cor
ner might stop the ravages of the
fire. All efforts possible were made
to remove goods from the district in
danger, but there was strong wind
and the fire swept tn. entire row of
wooden buildings until it reached
brick blocks and included the Mer-
chants Hotel. At that moment it
seemed as il the whole town was to
be swept away.
Flames swept away buildings along
Main street, supposed to be fire.
proof, as if built of paper.
Inside Of two hours from the sound
ing of the alarm the whole business
section of the town was in ashes.
After burning the Merchants Ho-
tel corner the fire jumped to the west
end and returned north along Main
street. All the business houses OF
four blocks except Friedman & Co. s
fre-proof building were destroyed.
These four blocks were built entirely
of brick
All the business portion of the
town is destroyed except the two
printing offices, Burkhart's lumber
yard, the Alturas Hotel, two livery
stables, one grocery, one saloon, and
one dry goods store.
The burnt district takes the bust
ness portion of the town and includes
few residences. The course of the
wind, which was strong, saved the
residence portion of the town.
The field of FIRE shows a clean
sweep of four blocks, except Fried
mans store. Losses amount to $780,
600. Insurance s150,000. The heav-
ier losers were Coffin & Co, *100,-
600, insured for $4,000; Idaho For
warding Company, $4,000; Mer-
chants Hotel, 100000; ]. A. Rupert
5000; Claude Campbell, $4,000
insured.
