A DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE.
House of H. 3. Sibley, With all
Its Contents, Destroyed
Friday Night.

The fire fipnd was again successful
in destroying property in this city.
Last Friday the house owned by H.
b. Sibley, on Fourth street north
east, near the East side lumber yard,
and occupied by Amos Sibley and
family, was almost wholly consumed,
together with all the household
goods.
The fire cannot be accounted for.
All members of the family were In
bed in the second story. The fire
caught down stairs, and when dis
covered by those occupying the house
had made such progress that escape
by way OF the stairway was cut off,
and they were compelled to go
through a second story window to
the roof Of a shed built ON the rear
Oi the main building and jump from
there to the ground.
The nearest hydrant was one near
the East side mill, and 1t required
| QUO feet Of hose to reach the burning
building. The city fire department.
and the Pine Tree employees succeeded
in getting Il stream on very soon
after the fire was discovered, but
they were hintlered by a hose burst
inr. and the ti:e had gained such
Roadway that it was useless to do
more than to work to prevent the
fire from spreading to the lumber
ward and surrounding buildings. and
IN this they were successful.
The family in their hasty exit from
the building saved none Of their
household goods and but very little
of their personal effects.
The building was insured for $500
in the Minnesota Fire company. rep
resente in this city by Victor Schal-
Tern. This amount. we believe, will
fully cover the loss.
Amos Sibley. the occupant of the
house, had $500 insurance on his
household goods.

The folio wing interview with j. j.
Hill appears in the Twin City dailies:
President James j. Hill, Of the

morning, having spent several days
in New York on his arrival from
Europe. He has the appearance Of
being hale and hearty. and. US he
said. enjoyed the trip across the
ocean.
Il do not own a dollars worth OF

pany," said he, when ask ed bv the
Dispa tch II he and his friends had
acquired a controlling Interest In the
securities oi that company.
Mr.. Hills attention was directed
to the statement of President
Winter, Of the Northern Pacific. who
said that his reason for resigning
from that position was because
''Mr. Hill and his associates have

"What foundation Is there for the
statement made hy Winter that
friends of yours have secured a con-
trolling interest In the stock and Sc
curities of thot company" asked the
Dispa tch reporter.
IL have no means Of knowing who
now owns the stock Of the Northern

be nscertuihed by inspecting the
stock books Of the company. 1have

Mr.. Hill was asked what he knew
relative to the report that Col. Ln-
mont was to become president o! the

"There are all Kinds Of reports

say what will be the result In the

can say, rs have said all nlong.
that there will he no consolidation
with the Great Northern road, and
that no arrangement looking to n
compact for traffic will be made, as

Mr.. Hill declined to enter into an
extended discussion Of the affairs OF
the Northern Pacific, saying that
there was nothing new In the stu
alton relative to carrying out the
plan of reorganization, either in or
out Of congress-. and he had no means
OF knowing what may be done with
respect to executive officers.
