WEDNESDAY NIGHTS FIRE.
Four Buildings Succumb to the Flames

A fire Wednesday night on the
south side of the square blotted out
in a very short time the four frame
store buildings which were old land.
marks of the city, having been built
many years ago. The buildings were
not only old but had become dilapi
dated aud have for long time been
considered an-eye sore aud fire
brand. Their removal is not detri-
mental in the least 20 the south side.
and were it not for the losses Of the
occupants of the same the fire would
be hailed rather as a benefit than
detriment to the interests of the city.
As it is the ground has now been
cleared off and made ready for hand
some bricks which we hope will soon
take the place of those burned.
The buildings burned were occu
pied by the following persons.
Duncan 4 Duvall, general stock
OF groceries and provisions, insured
for $1,000. About one fourth of the
STOCK was saved

John Eancamp, restaurant, loss
about $500. insurance 1890.
The fire originated i'll the store
room of L. D. Rafter about one
clock at night and before discover
ed the interior of the building
was a seething mass of fire and moth
ing could be done to save any of the
buildings, and in fact the time was
very limited to save goods. John
Vancaup and his family and board
ers living over his restaurant had
scant time to saye themselves. and
his two daughters, Miss Hattie and
Nettie were not given time to dress
and made their escape from the
burning building by jumping from
the second story window to the
ground, a distance of Is feet.
The night was very cold and the
wind was blowing quite hard and
the saving of the frame buildings in
close proximity was considered al
most miracle.
