FARGO FLAME SWEPT.
Disastrous Fire In a Thriving
North Dakota Town,
LOSS FULLY TWO MILLION DOLLARS

over Two Hundred Houses Destroyed and
Twelve Hundred People Made Home
lsss-Ths Fire Crosses the River 20
AIoorhead, Destroying Several Buildings
FARGO, N. D, June e.-During a heavy
wind fire broke out at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon and burned for twelve hours
DESTROYING over 200 business houses and
residences, making over 200 people home
less, and causing loss estimated at fully
100000. The burned district comprises
the business portion Of the town and is
bounded by the Western Union Telegraph
Office. Headquarters hotel and Northern
Pacific depot thence to the Great Northern
depot and along the line of the Great
Northern railway to Red river.
The principal business street Of the city
lies within the district burned and the
finest business blocks are In ashes. In that
part of the city there were also many res
licences, and these went down before the
flames
Most of the buildings in that part Of the
city were frame structures, and these of
fered small resistance before the rush Of
flames sent against them by the gale that
was blowing at the rate Of thirty miles an
hour.
The fire burned all the buildings along
the river front. The bridges between
Moorhead and Fargo have been burned,
and all telegraphic communication Is cut
of. Assistance arrived at the scene from
Grand Forks Duluth and CrookstOn were
asked for help. The fire departments OF
the latter towns, however, arrived too late
to be Of assistance, as they were obliged to
reach the scene by making a long detour,
crossing the Red river at East Grand
Forks.
A strong wind made the FIRE burn SC
quickly that nothing was saved. The
flames went through brick buildings as
easily as frame ones. The fire started In q
stable and spread with awful rapidity.
Among the principal firms burned out
arei Herseman, drygoods; Cranes res
taurant; Magill, farm machinery; North
ern Pacific elevator buildings; Westerf
Union Telegraph office; Morton, real es
tate; Red River Valley National bank
| Daily Forum (newspaper); Merchants
| State bank; Opera house; e. S Tyler, rea

Fleming's drug store; Veder & Lewis
grocery; Christiauson's drug store; Sheri
dan hotel; Appel Bros, Minneapolis Good
company; Logan's studio; Ames lroi
works; Centennial House; Van Brunti
Implement warehouse.
MOorehead people threw open thei
hotels and houses for the people who hay,
been suddenly made homeless. James
Hill telegraphed from st. Paul ordering
the immediate opening of the GRAM
Pacific hotel for the use of the homeless.
Many iremen have been injured, som
seriously, but no names can be secure'
owing to the confusion which reigns every
where.
The fire crossed the river to the Moor
head side at the Fargo Rolling mill whic
wasdestroyed with several other buildings
