| A very disastrous fire occurred last
Thursday night, about II o'clock, in Bis
murck. Webb Bros fine new furniture
store burned also, Nels Whites livery
stable, Frank Donnelly's building, all of
the Custer House outbuildings, including
the barn, besides number of outbuild-
ings belonging to various parties. Eight
horses and all tho buggies and carts in the
livery stable were burned. One of the
horses belonged to Dan Elsenberg, one to
Mr.. Remington, two to Charlie Lock
(stage horses), three to Clarence Price,
and one to man named Olson. "Nels.
| Whites loss was 1900 and Frank Don.
nelly's loss about So 00O, neither one hav.
ing cent of insurance. James Holland,
the scotsman, who was also burned out,
saved most of his stock. Webb Bros.
loss was $4,000, and Thomas MCGOWAN
lost So, 500. The Webbs carried 50, 800 of
insurance, but Mr.. MCGOWAN was not in
sured. Mr.. Erard Woorster thought that
his horse, Morgan" purchased recently
from Mr.. M. E. Waldrof, of Williams
port was burned F.; but next morning he
was agreeably surprised to learn that
Morgan was among the horses that had
been saved. The writer has seen some
big fires and some good work done by
firemen but, all things considered, none
better than that done by the Bismarck
department last night. The old frame
buildings were as dry as tinder; and yet
the flames were stopped and conquered
| after they had eaten holes in the west
wall of the Webb residence, the east wall
of the Jennings building, and the east
end of the Custer House. Truly, the
pride which the citizens of Bismarck feel
in their fire laddies is justi6able. e..
