This makes the insurance on the
machinery $1,000 and on the stock
S22,+00, n total OF $i,iO0. The machinery
cost Mr.. J. NJ. Clouston, who put it in,
5000, and is said to have been worth
fully that much now.
There was in the building 1000 BUSH
els OF oats, 400 bushels OF corn, a car
load OF hay, possibly thirty tons, in
bales, about seven tons OF straw, loose
baled, five tons or more OF bran, in
sacks, and large quantities OF bran,
middlings and other iced.
In addition to this the loss on house
hold furniture and fixtures, on which
there was no insurance, will reach about
$500. The insurance OF the firm was all
place by J. G. Anderson & Co.'S agency.
FORTUNATELY SAVED
There was in the residence portion OF
the house a secretary which was about
100 years old, and was the property
originally OF Judge Sprigg, the first
prosecuting attorney OF Ohio county.
In it were two fine gold watches, one
the property OF Mr.. Kimberly and the
other OF his wife. The wedding ring OF
Mrs. kimberly's mother was also in the
desk. 1t was supposed that OF course
these articles were DESTROYED, but after
the fire was ovcr Mr.. Kimberly went
into the ruins and found that the Sec
rotary was not burned and the box con-
tanning the watches and jcwclry was
safe. Chief 1lealy recovered it for Mr..
Kimberly. Outside OF this the mem
beers OF the household saved nothing
i'll the way OF wearing apparel and
household goods except what they had
on their backs.
1t looked for q while as ii the east
wall must fall, and there was great fear
that the tircmcE who were working on
that part OF the roof OF the adjoining
building IN which it must have fallen
would be killed, but when Il portion OF
it did fall it fell in, and no damage re-
suited.
On the south, on Market street, Der
myers barber shop was threatened
with destruction till the fire was under
control, and everything was removed
from it to 4 place OF safety, as also from
Graves's and Freezes stores next be-
low. Fortunately, however, none OF
these suffered damage, except that n
portion OF the falling wall cavcd in the
roof OF . shed in the rear OF the barber
shop.
There was some good work done by
the police N keeping the people out OF
danger. 1t was Il big job, owing to the
many ways Of approach to the fire.
Chief Dc!brugge undertook to keep up
a fire line, but it was impossible, and
the only way was to keep the officers on
the alert with their clubs. Some citi-
zcns did good work in aid OF the depart
mcnt, among these bein: Colonel Albert
Franzheim, who was on the roof work
ing as hard rs though he were IN ex-
ira man.

and Robert Swcdo, a colored man, who
had robbed q cottage ON the camp

locked him in a cell, knocked down his

Showacre fired his revolver and struck
Schoolcraft, who died OF his wounds
two days later. On December | Cline
was recaptured, but though Eggy made
his headquarters in this city from that
time till the robbery OF Dolan ut Ben
wood, nearly n year later, he was never
arrested.
Eggy is a slick one, and has doubtless
been credited with many n crime in
which he had no part, just MS he was
with having a hand in Rudert
murder, at Tarentum, when he was in
the pcnitentiary at that time. Still he
has committed enough crimes to give
