At one O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Are broke out in Cary's secondhand
store, caused by an angry courtesan
throwing lamp at her lover. inc
lamp hit the stove, igniting the OIL
which caused the flames to spread
quickly In all directions.
The firemen responded quickly and
the blaze was not Thought to be seri-
Gus, but a Sudden change in the wind
occurred and the flames quickly spread
to- adjoining buildings. Then it was
conceded half dozen buildings on
the corner of Meyer and Third streets
would be destroyed and the occupants
made hasty preparation for the re-.
moval of their goods to places OF
safety. :,
Every moment added fury to the
flames, and as they spread rapidly
from house to house, the people be-
gan to realize that an enormous con-
fagration was about to take place.
Every vehicle in town was pressed
into service by merchants, anxious to
save the contents of their stores, and
great confusion existed, during which
q number of casualties occurred from
runaway teams. The merchants were
not successful in recovering their
goods; the flames spreading with such
rapidity that not more than one-tenth
of their wares were saved.
When the post Office caught it be-
came evident that desperate measures
must be adopted to stop the spread of
the flames and, the water supply being
very poor, the firemen decided to re-
sort to the use of dynamite, and a
number of buildings were thus sacri-
feed before the fire had reached them.
During the progress of the explosions
fireman. whose namo can not be
learned, was probably fatally injured
by one of his legs being blown Off
Late last evening the fire was finally
gotten under control, after having de-
stroycd the entire districts surrounded
by Warren. Eaton, Third aud Fourth

The buildings included in the burned
