plaintiff, when, shortly after 8. 80 smoke
was noticed in the room. One Of the
judges sent bailiff to ascertain the
cause, but before he returned u member
of the bar rushed in and said that
the court house was on fire. The
court room is on the second floor
and all made a rush for terra iirma.
Judges, members Of the bar jurors, coun-
sci and clients all,hurriedly grabbed their
hats and coats and ran through the
smoke to the street. II was discovered
that the fire was in the basement. The
room, which was before the remodeling
of the building occupied by the county
commissioners. is now given up to the
/ furnaces Volumes Of smoke issued
from II and through the floors and regis
tiers to the rooms above. The girders
were on fire. The Court House bell gave
the alarm, and several hundred persons
were soon on the scene.
