On Saturday an incident at Geo. Chilson's
ranch gave abundant evidence that artesian
wells could be easily made in this vicinity.
At a depth of twenty feet one of the work
men encountered a large boulder. As soon
as the boulder was loosened the water
forced it aside, and rushed in with such
rapidity that it was only by extraordinary
effort that the workman escaped drowning.
The we'll filled in a few minutes with a
splendid article of water. This incident
gives basis to tho oft expressed opinion that
flowing wells could be had with a small
amount Of labor.

free and informal.
The commi- >iouerS from Vermont and Maine

in the ice, about which the trout congregate
and are destroyed III large numbers in an un-
sportsmanlike manner.

drens' clothing. Adjoining this store
was the double store of l.. Marus & Co.,
manufacturers of youths and boys
clothing.
In an incredibly short time after the
fire was discovered the northern half
of the stately building was mass of
flames, the entire five stories burning
fiercely and illuminating the adjacent
streets for blocks around. No railroad
trains were allowed to cross the Ter
race, owing to the many lines of hose
lying across their tracks, and soon the
entire Terrace was monopolized by the
blockaded trains.
North of the Warner building is the
five-story brick block owned by Meyer
Geismer and occupied by Brock, Weiner
& Geismer, clothing manufacturers.
This building caught fire, but by
hard work it was saved, although the
contents of the building were greatly
damaged by water and smoke.
Shortly after eleven o'clock, when all
thought of further danger by fire or
falling walls had apparently passed and
the chief was dispensing what men
were not needed, the firemen from en-
gine No. were stationed in front of
the Marcus building and several streams
were playing upon the ruins. Suddenly
the wall tottered and before the men
could escape it was upon them.
Adams Fisher, foreman of engine No.
4, was taken out of the ruins dead, and
Robert Snyder. of the same company,
was fatally injured. 7. NJ. Krass,
George Whitney and Anthony Keller
dragged themselves out. They were
taken to the hospital. Snyder died
shortly after reaching the hospital
