Post IiieHigenccr says: This city was
Yesterday visited by confagration
which destroyed in the neighborhood oil
500, OOO worth of property and caused
the death of John McCannOn, member
of the Volunteer fire brigade. The hre
started in the premises occupied by
f.. c. Strosky. matchmaker aud lcweller,
on Columbia street, and the whole OlOcK
Of buildings was ablaze before the IRE
department had succeeded IN getting
to work. For two hours the liremen
fought the flames aud We're Just getting
them undnr control when an explosion
I'm the rear OF one store occurred. IL
broke almost every pane OF glass within
4 radius Of half a mile and burst all ol
the hose pumping ON the fire.
.'The Masonic temple, next adjacent,
had ND to this moment been considered
absolutely safe, but the breakage OF
windows caused a draft, which sucked
the flames inward, and in Il minute the
whole interior Of the building was allre.
II was a four-StOry brick building val
ned at $50. 900. While fighting the
flames at one of the windows the west
ern wall of the building fell In, and
fireman named McCannon was buried
under two tons Of brick. He was taken
out and brought to st. Mary'S Hospital,
where he died last night. Floods ol
water were poured on the Masonic
block continually. but ten times the
amount of water would have had but
little effect on the fire. Firemen work
ed hard hnt To no avail.

the failure Of the coroner's jury TO I'M
ulicate any one for the murder OF Mrs
G. W. Cowles. wife of the Pacific bank
president killed in her bed last week by
