disastrous tire ever known in this city's
history ragged Wednesday afternoon,
and as the result nearly 5000, 900 worth
of property is in ruins. In the midst
of the conflagration one of the larger
water mains broke, and as stiff south
wind was blowing the whole north end
of the city was at the mercy of the
flames. The fire originated in the plant
of the st. Louis Milling Co., and in
spite of all efforts communicated to five
other business and residence properties.
No lives were lost. The St. Louis
Milling Co.'S loss will aggregate over
$780, 600. Insurance of S7h, 900 was car
ried on the main building and none on
the stock. Joseph Shaiper's hardware
establishment is Quilted. Residences
