NORWALk, Jan. 9.--Nearly the en-
tire business portion of this fourishing
little town was wiped out by fire tonight,
which at the time of sending this report
is still burning fercey and threatens
to make clean sweep. Owing to an
entire lack of facilities for fighting the
flames the citizens were obliged to
stand idly by and see their property go
up in smoke powerless to prevent it.
At this hour. midnight, the postofiice,
general merchandise stores of Dilley &
Son and Sti1ler & Lougheed furniture
j. f. Grower and barber shop of Otto
store of Dr. w. T. Merchant, office of DR..
merchandise. and Brentner Bros, hard
Dickhoff have been destroyed, and the
flames are only temporarily stayed at
the brick block of l.. F. Shepherd. Should
this building go there is every probable
ity that the entire town will be wiped
out of existence. In the brick block
are the stores of l.. E. Shepherd. general
merchandise, and Brentner Bros, hard
ware, two of the largest firms in town.
The fire started in Dilley G. Sons gro
Gerry store, but from what cause is un-
known. When discovered shortly after
II o'clock at night the whole store WAS
ablaze and nothing could be done. The
town has no general water system, and
the only means of fighting the flames
outside of the bucket brigade was
stream from a>one-inch hose, the water
supply being contained in a single tank,
which was quickly exhausted. In q
short time the entire population, about
200 in number, had turned out of bed,
but after futile attempt at extinguislh-
ing the fire with the means at command
We're obliged to- give up the attempt and
devote their attention to saving what
they could from the threatened build
ings.
No estimate of the losses can yet be
made, but i'm majority of instances
they will be total, nothing being saved
and no insurance being carried. Dr.
Grower, Stiffier & Lougheed and Dr.
w. Il. Merchant had not a cent of in
surance and lose everything. The post
office was among the first buildings to
go. ardl the mail matter contained was
entirely destroyed. A clean sweep has
oeen made of the central business por-
ton and the town has sufferedl a blow
which it will be long time recovering
from.

company, Holly viii in short time be
the posessor Of . creamery. N. n. Jones'
an old experisncsd creamery man from
Kansas. arrived yesterday and entered
into contract with the city authorities
whereby be il to put in frst ciasf
creamery plsnt costing not less than
$500. He will begin the work imme.
diately and get It running At the earliest
possible moment. With the splendid
9rasing land in this vicinity and the
oheapness with which feed can be raised
there can be NO such thing - failure
for creamery properly managed. and
Mr.. Jones' long ysars Of experience in
the business 10 guarantee that he
knows how 10 make It pay. He has
been paying his patrons in Kansas Il
cents pound for butter fat this winter
while other creameries paid IA and IL
cents.
This enterprise we predict will prove
the most profitable acquisition Holly
could have made at this time, and Mr..
Wiley deserves grest credit for the part
lie has taken in securing it.
No effort should I've spared by the
farmers in getting themselves in shape
to give it liberal patronage. not only
for the sake of making the cyeamery
pay bnt it will also make the farm pay
better.
The capacity Of the creamery will be
about 500 pounds Of butter daily and II
enough milk is furnished to run it's full
capacity it means monthly distribution
Of something like $500 among the
citizens.
