No, but It would make 1t more val
liable than it Is Row."

George Roscoe, lessee of the CONNER
cial House, lost one horse, one COW and
three hogs. B. Gordon, who rented the

men succeeded in stopping the fire at
the shop, though $. Hatch's furniture
store was only 80 feet distant and the
Commercial House adioined that. Had
there been a wind, the whole business

stroyed. Most of the merchants packed
their goods to be in readiness to move il
the fire was not checked.
