A Sunday Morning Blaze.

The clang of the fire bell brought
our people out in force at about $3.50
o'clock last Sunday morning, and in
very short order the fire company had
a stream of water dreIching the in
terror of the hardware store of G. F..
DEWITT. The smell of smoke in the
apartments OF DR.. B. Z. Weeks in the
upper story of the building aroused
that gentleman from a peaceful slum-
Der and to a realization that demon
of destruction had invaded the pre-
cinct, and his timely warning and the
prompt action of the fire company
was the saving of much loss and the
presence of unsightly ruins. The fire
originated from the burning out of
the west chimney on the south side of
the building, the flames blazing out of
the open stovepipe hole in the cellar
and igniting the floor. A hole about
3x8 feet was burned in the floor aud
the studding and lath each side of tn G
chimney were considerably scorched.
The density of the smoke in the store
and cellar made it difficult to locate the
fire at first. but the nozzle was for
tunately pointed at the right spot
from the north side window.
Mr.. DEWITT loss on stock from fire,
smoke and water will probably reach
upwards of 500, and the damage to
the building, which is owned by F.
A. Bracket of st. Paul, is in the
neighborhood of $70C, all of which is
covered by insurance. The large
front lights of the building were all
destroyed but one by the scattering OF
water upon them while in heated
condition. Lawyer Vannatta and DR..
Weeks suffered some loss by the hasty
removal of their goods from the up
per story.
The promptness of the fire company
on all such occasions is highly com.
mendable. The cost of the engine
was more than saved in this one in
stance. The ladies' coffee brigade
was on hand with plenty of good cot
fee for all who assisted.

There is no longer any doubt about
the sale of the 800" road to the 0ma-

to when the transfer will take place,
but it will probably occur about
March LIST. That the road will be ex-
tended to connect with the Omaha S

question. Surveyors are now at work
on the line and there seems TO be
every prospect that active operations
will be commenced in the spring
