which drove the flames into the build

smoke were pouring from every
window of this magnificent structure,
in which were situated the First
National bank, Pfaff'S insurance
agency, the signal service and
the Western Union telegraph Office and
n. Beaudrey's dry goods store. Grand
Rapids and MuskegOn were wired for
assistance and both responded prompt
ly. but before they arrived the fire had
crossed the street, burning Mrs. Jones'
millinery store, Mrs. Squires' residence,
and with difficulty was kept from the
sanitarium. Then crossing Third street
it swept the First Reformed church and
parsonage, the Cutler livery stable and
all the buildings in the block. including
the residence Of II. |. Potts, of the Cour-
ier-Journal. and bath house belonging
to Charles COnger, of the Evening Trib-
une. By this time the Spring Lake
firemen were on hand and the Grand
Rapids and Muskegon companies had
arrived, but the MuskegOn COM
pany's hose was too large for use
upon the Grand Haven hydrants. Grand
Rapids acted nobly. and did much to as
sist in controlling the fire, which, how
ever, spread through South Washington
street, taking all the residences as far
as Fourth street, including that of Mis-.
Cutler, and burning the Unitarian
church and the telephone exchange.
Crossing Columbus street, between
Third and Fourth, the flames swept out
all the residences upon the north side as
far as Fifth street. including the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, the residences of
master Sanford. The vigorous efforts
of the county officials and the isolated
situation of the Jail and court house did
much toward saving those buildings
from the flames. The total number of
buildings destroyed is forty-one, while
the loss is estimated at fully half
million of dollars. Some of the losses
and insurance are as follows:
D. Cutler.loss $3.50, O0O, insurance $50, coo;
