Breckenridge. Colo, May 22.-Brecken-
ridge had a narrow escape from being
wiped out by fire to-day; as it was, nine
teen buildings were consumed In about
three hours and about sixty people were
rendered homeless. The fire appears to
have started In the rear of the building
occupied by the family of Philip Taussig.
on Main street, at the foot Of Washington
avenue, and was caused by the stove
pipe becoming overheated. The alarm
was promptly turned in and was quickly
responded to by the firemen and citizens
The fire hydrants failed to work properly,
and before a good stream could be played
upon the burning building 1t was seen
that 1t was doomed. and the bystandses
began moving the furniture and other
moveables to the opposite side Of the
street. A strong wind blew the flames
across vacant lot, and 1t appeared that
the business portion Of the town, inclui-
ing the hotels, was doomed to destruction.
The flames spread north until the log
building owned by ]. w. Kennedy was
reached, when a change in the direction
Of the wind occurred and enabled the
bucket brigade to lend effective assist
ance to the firemen. and the fire was
checked at the next building, which was
occupied as an assay Office by 8. G. Whip
pie The flames crossed the street and
destroyed an old landmark-the Ford
chop house building, OH the corner OF
Washington avenue and Main street. For
n time 1t appeared as though 1t would be
impossible to save the ArbOgast block on
the opposite corner and DR.. ]. F. Con
don's residence, but both escaped with a
searching, the wind suddenly veering due
south, taking both sides of the street until
the vacant lots OH Adams avenue were
reached, where the bucket brigade did
yoeman service in the passing Of watel
from the placer ditch and flume. and pre-
vented the fire from spreading to the nex
block. The ditch was cut at the corner OF
French street and Adams avenue and the
water was brought down to Main street
which is flooded, extingulshing the EN-
bers that threatened further spread OF
eondagratson.
| The damage is estimated at between
$4,000 and $15,O 600, with very little insur
ance. The only insurance known at pres
ent was $4OO or $500 policy on the oil,
