Mulvane has had a somewhat peculiar
with fires. In 1850 he went
to California and was extensively en-
gagged in the carpentry business. The
night of the election of Franklin Pierce
the city of Sacramento was wiped out
of existence by fire and so were the
tools and all the belongings
of Mr.. Lane. In 1863 he was a mer-
chant in New England and when prices
were going up he put in an immense
stock of goods, which raised 20 per
cent in many cases. A fire broke out
and burned everything. On the same
day the insurance company became in
solvent and he got nothing. He then
moved to Chicago and had built up an
other fortune in merchandise when the
Chicago fire wiped him out again. He
was insured in a Chicago company, but
the loss broke all of the Chicago COM
panies and he did not collect cent.
He located at Molvanc in 1883. Two
years ago FIRE broke out there and re-
duced twenty-one houses to ashes. He
owned fourteen of the houses Destroy
ed. He got part of the insurance
only. He owns the hotel now and does
not carry any insurance no it.
