way through to Main street.
In short time this building was also
completely Quilted, and the firemen are
now endeavoring to save the adjoining
buildings.
The large six story Wholesale dry-poods
house Of Robinson, North & Co.. adjoining
the Quasi building on the west side, was
ignited, but as the wind is blowing the
flames are spreading eastward. and it is
probable the Robinson & Co. building
will be saved.

Co.. 100000, covered by Insurance; Bare
ford. Lawson & Co.. $4,000 insured.
The weather is bitter cold and the fire.

on the east, has been completely Quilted.
and the building Of c. Il. Bliss & Co.,
gents furnishing goods and Hosiery, is low
burning. From present indications half
of the block will be consumed, and the loss
will probably be half million dollars.

under control. and will probably be con-
fined to the Bliss building. Robinson,
Norton d Co. lose about $4,000 on dry
goods that vera stored in the cellars of the

fact that the water-tower was frozen up
the department was unable to use it.
