VISITED BY FIRE.
Mcguire & Brownies Store Seriously
Damaged by Fire.
The Loss will Amount to About $4,000
Covered by Insurance,

I utillldlA diAllNSi pHAE A'N eNNNA AN~'
last night, flames breaking out in Ma
guire & Brownies store, damaging the
stock to the amount OF about $4,000,
1t was about 10 80 O'Clock when the fire
was first discovered, and it had gained
considerable headway. the building be-
| ing filled with dense smoke, and the
flames apparently enveloping the whole
| interior. 1t was only few minutes,
however, before the hose companies were
on the scene, and stream OF water was
directed in at the front entrance OF the
building. On account of the smoke and
heat, it was impossible to go inside for
some little time, but the water made
short work OF flames, killing them down
in remarkably brief time.
The fire had caught from a lamp lett
burning ne the center OF the store, and
had passed on to the clothing and to the
boot and shoe departments, and the
goods were all smoldering fire.
The store contained a stock of goods
valued at 1923, 900, on which there was
$15, 900 insurance, divided equally be-
tween the Aetna, National, and Liver
pool, London & Globe companies. The
loss has not yet been adjusted, but it is
estimated at $4,000. The entire stock
was more or less damaged, the loss on
clothing and boots and shoes being al
most total and the smoke and heat in
juring everything in the store. The IN
surance will, however, more than GOV r
the loss.
In nearly every case OF fire water does
as much damage as the flames, but so
we'll was the stream directed to the seat
of the fire last night that goods that were
not burning were kept dry. This may
be attributed to the coolress and care Of
the nozzlemen, Messrs. Squires, Lam
ming, Munroe and Schlaefer. The dam
age to the building was not great, none
of the plate glass, with the exception OF
one door, being broken. TIL. walls were
consid erably smoked and charred, but
the loss on that is well covered by in
surance.
