PAIRMONT FIRES
Apparently Has Houses to
Burn.
THREE FIRES IN TWO DAYS.
Heavy Losses in Each Case With Little
Insurance.

HEAVY Losses in Each Case With Little
Insurance.
Last week Fairmont was visited
by three destructive fires. The first
was one of the largest that the
town has seen for many years. The
Fairinont Planning Mill, one of the
largest concerns of its kind in the
state was totally destroyed.
The fire originated in the boiler
room and when discovered the build
ing was a mass of flames. The eff
forts of the firemen to save it were
futile and it was burned down en-
tirely. Seeing that it was useless to
try to save the mill the attention
of the firemen was directed toward
saving other property that had
caught from it. n. c. Dickerson's
residence which was next to the
mill was also totally destroyed.
Close TO this is the Google property
which was damaged slightly. Other
houses in the vicinity were damaged
and only the heroic efforts of the
fircmcn prevented the whole town
from burning. The loss on this fire
was about $4,000 with $4,000 in
surance 1t is hard to estimate the
loss on the mill as eight or ten car
loads of first class materials had
been received and all this was de-
stroyed. The people interested In
the mill are J. M. Jacobs, general
manager, G.. NJ. Jacobs and NJ. L.
Hutchinson and they are all well
known in this county. They are a
hustling energetic firm and have the
sympathy of large circle of friends
in their heavy loss 1t is not known
whether the mill will be rebuilt or
not. Six years ago the mill was de-
stroyed by fire being then owned by
U. A. Clayton d Co. 1t was after
wards rebuilt in a more substantial
manner than before
The series was continued by two
more ON Thursday night, The first
Of these originated in the Johns
Brother Glass House from broken
gas valve When the fire was dis
covered the building could have been
saved if help could have been gotten
there in time. However central could
not be awakened to the situation
and the building was totally destroy
ed before the people of Fairmont
proper knew there was fire. There
was no insurance and the plant was
a total loss.
The same night two other houses
caught fire. They belonged to j. +.
Hamilton and Judge w. S. Raymond
and are situated ON Mapel street.
These blazes were put out in short
order with but little damage done.
No insurance was carried on these
though and what damage was done
will be small loss to the owners.
Although these fires seem to be
suspiciously close together in point
of time, there is no suspicion that
they are due to any thing but per-
fectly natural causes. Our sister
city has the sympathy of the whole
town in her losses. These destruc-
| tive fires elsewhere should cause the
average citizen to congratulate him
self on living in town where fire
is q rarity and destructive ones al
most unknown. These blessings are
vouchsafed to us by our efficient
fire company and the finest system
of water works in the country.

Friday morning as party of young
men who had been attending the con-

Jerome Meeks' on their return, they
saw house on lire. The carriage was
turned down the lane just on this side
Of Meeks and the party rushed into
the burning house. The family who
lived there-Joe Grubb's-were sitting
at dinner wholly ignorant of the fact
that the house was burning over their
heads. The amateur firemen went to
work with vim and soon the fire was
subdued. The roof was quite badly
damaged however before this was ac-
complished. The fire had originated
from defective fiue. The party was
composed of Bernie MADEIRA, Will
Morgan and Frank Pride and they
were so surprised by the incident that
they came to town in ignorance of who
the man was, being too surprised to
ask his name.
