WHOLE SQUARE BURNED OUT.
Court House Among the

Hungry Flames. :
THE FIRE SET BY H0BoES.
Losses Will Aggregate Over
$50,0OO--SOme Of the Build
ings Destroyed.

LA INQUIRE, N. D., Aug. 2.-Fire
started in the rear of Hageman's shoe
store at II p. M, and was beyond con-
troll before sufficient help arrived. A
strong northwest wind famed the
flames. Work by large crowd nearly
got control OF the fire at Brands mar
ket, but strong gust of wind drove the
flames ahead and the men back. All
efforts to save any building in the
square failed. Seventh, Eighth. Front
and franklin streets were given up.
The roofs of the buildings Oh Eighth
street opposite the fire were covered
with wet carpets and water, but
all efforts proved futile; one
by one the buildings caught
fire, anu finally the court house was in
the embrace of the hungry flames. A
slight shifting of the wind and the fall
ing of the walls OF the court house to-
ward the south saved Stones lumber
yard and the elevators adjacent. Hage-
man. shoe store; Brand, market; Nc
Michael, flour and feed; the La Moure
County Chronicle; Cunningham & Law
renee, merchants; Larson house; L.
Thompson, tailor; Windsor house; Al
win, harnessmaker; Peter Benson, mer-
chant; E. o. Ellison, j. W. Johnson,
H. s. Diesem, machinery; James
Kneen. merchant; Mrs. Cruden,
millinery; Mrs. Crear, restaurant;
Harry Muir, blacksmith; A. S. Howe
and A. +. Welch, hardware, compose a
list of the business men burned out.
Valentine & Price. drug store, and Le-
land q Co.'s lumber yards are the only
places of business left. The total losses
are over $4,000; insurance, $4,000. The
town presents sorry spectacle this
morning. Some goods from the stores
and furniture from the houses were
saved. DR.. Boyd and James Kneen lost
their residences. B. n. Stone lost three
buildings. two insured. Some of the
buildings were owned by non-resideuts.
1t is impossible to give a list of the
losses at present. Talk of rebuilding at
once is heard from many; everybody is
gritty. The fire was probably set by
hoboes. ~

MORE DIRTY WORK.
Miscreants Plug Fire Alarm Boxes
in South Town.

MlscreSnts Plug Fire Alarm Boxes
in South Town.
Last night a number of fire alarm
boxes in South Minneapolis. in the sec
tion known as the "hub of HE'LL" were
found plugged, after the same manner
as the one on the East side, at the corner
Of Second street northeast and Sixth
aveDue. The key holes were filled with
dirt packed SO hard that it was i'm
possible to effect entrance with
a key. In one instance putty had been
used. A rigid investigation will be
made and if the miscreants who are
responsible for the dirty business are
caught, they will be dealt with accord
ing to the law. Chief Runge is deter
mined to prosecute any person found
tampering with the fire alarm boxes,
and in this he will be backed up by all
the insurance companies and agents of
the city.
At the corner of Twenty-fifth street
and Franklin avenue last evening was
found placard, nailed to building,
which set forth in ragged, urcouth
letters:
Next Fire will be at Southeast.
Nach for it.''
1t is thought the card was put there
by some miSchievous boys, who took
advantage OF the work of tirebugS to be
funny at the expense of the fire depart
ment.

Minneapolis still continues to have

which, in small way, may be likened
to that which followed the "reign of

number of fires to fight yesterday. the
most important of which occurred in
Northeast Minneapolis. At 6 o'clock
yesterday morning fire broke ont in

The fire department did all that could
be done, and, in fact, saved the mill
and other valuable property FROM 60
ing. The warehouse, with its contents
Of 100000 pounds of paper, was totally
destroyed, as were 200 cords of wood
belonging to Nelson. Tcnney IL Co.
Two small barns belonging to Mr.. Mel
son also went up III smoke. The total loss
will aggregate about $1,000.
1t is not known how the fire original

side. Fire Marshal Pierce is of the
opinion that it was the work off bugs,
though Mir. Nelson says that the hour it
started is against this theory. However.
the fire alarm box at the corner of Sec
ond street and Sixth avenue northeast
was found plugged. the keyhole having
been stuffed with grass and dirt, which
had been hammered in tightly.
The insurance companies have awak
