story structure. the greater part being of
wood ana on which the loss is estimated
at about ESQ, 600, but as the cars were
valued all the way from $1,000 10 $500
each, the total loss will be nearly Sl50. =
600. Only five cars were dragged from
the building and even these were badly
scorched
The fire apparently started from an
electric wire at the east end OF the build

the west end in spite OF the heavy west
