Indefinite news of the Flagstaff fire

Indefinite news of the Flagstaff fire was. received at Phoenix yesterday after hoon. It was reported that town was burning up. United States Attorney Ellinwood, who lives iD Flagstaff, was somewhat alarmed. since his office in the central part of town contains one of the most valua- ble law libraries in the southwest, valued at $4,5O0. He telegraphed for particulars and received reply that his office was beyond the line of the fire
 The destruction of Dr. Sees library is serious, since the loss is almost IT, reparable. The library contained many scientifiq works which had been collected in a long course of years and which cannot be replaced.
 The water supply at Flagstaff is inadequate to meet the emergency of a great fire, so at the first report 1t was readily believed that the town was doomed.
