HlggInsvllle, March 27:-Last night our
town was visited by another hre. About 3
o'clock the alarm wss given by the ringing
OF bslIs and the wind was blowing u perfect
gale, A heavy cloud was rising In the west
and lightning, thunder, wind and fire all nj
once msdo things appear appalling. The
| fre originated In the Leader printing Office. .
two-st0ry frame building, owned by Grove
Young, and occupied by q number OF parties:
q. G. Grau, grocery; Leader printing Office
Frank Barton, barber shop; Ed Becker, bar
Der shop; 8. A, KEN, photograph gallery;
| Fitzgerald, shoe shop; Clarence Vivion, law
| ONCE; with Messrs. Evans, Kew, Slckler,
Roberts, Guard and Fitzgerald IS resident
tenants, The building occupied by the two
BARRIERS was only q one-story one and belong
ed to Mrs. o. K. Burns. The wind being
very strong carried the flames across the
street to the Hne new brick buildings recently
erected by Messrs. Grove Young and Frank
Heimbrook. occupied by Heimbrook Us u
shoe store; j.. II, Searfoss. ieweler; DIR.
Kelley, dentist. These buildings were badly
damaged, oil plat, glass fronts, and not u
whole glass remains. Several doors were
burned off their hinges, and the window
frames partly burned out. The damage can
not now be estimated, rs the frame buildings
and contents we're entirely destroyed, and
the stock Us well ~ buildings more or less
damaged In the brick buildings, but II 10
thought Il will reach from eight to ten thou,
sald dollars. How far this loss IL covered by
insurance cannot at the present writing be
aseertained, but The tenants were III able to
sustain their losses. Several parties escaped
only partly clai, others with just d suit OF
clothes. Assistance will be rendered them a.
soon Ms possible by the more fortunate cIti-
gems. With not even an organized hook and
ladder company It 10 wonderful how the fire
was controlled with the wind blowing 30
very hard. 1t does seem that u town Of this
size might take u vote on the water works
question or have some available means for
protection. But Il seems as though some dc
not think Of voting taxes for anything In the
way Of public improvements other thar
schools.
