The two men asked the way up stairs
and noticing the stairway starred up.
Mr.. Stathers called TO his two daugh-

Bellaire had a narrow escape from a
big fire last night. ABOUT $50 o'clock,
flames were discovered in the "dUst

and the big wholesale grocery house,
both owned by Stewart 81 Ward, and
located just off onion street, near the
Il. u. & c. railroad depot in the Second

The blaze promised to develop into a
very bad fire for some time, and created
great excitement. The fremen re-
sponded promptly, and by hard work
succeeded in preventing the flames
from extending to the mill or work
house. The loss was small. The origin
is a mystery, but it was probably due to
spontaneous combustion,
