ROCKY FORD IN FLAMES.
A Solid Block Of Buiidioss Destroyed
by the Fiery Clement.

A fire which for time threatend
TO destroy the entire north side
business portion of Rocky Ford
broke out about o'clock last
Saturday afternoon. One entire
block was consumed by the flames
and it was only by the superhuman
endeavors OF the citizens OF the
town that the business blocks ad-
Joining were saved. AT least S3s,-
900 worth Of property was des-
troyed or damaged by removal,
the loss OF which is covered by
about SIo, 900 insurance.
The fire broke on, in the rear of
w. Z. Fenton's drug store, in a
small room which is used for stor.
ing paints, oils and other combus-
tible materials, and in a very short
space OF time the flames had gain
ed such headway that it was i'm
possible TO check them. The
water supply was insufficient and
was soon exhausted for effective
purposes. The citizens conse-
quen,ly devoted their attention to
saving the stocks OF goods of the
various stores, and most of the
property was removed to a place
OF safety. The adjoining business
blocks were covered with tarpau-
Inns which were kept saturated
with water and these with the pro-
lection afforded by the trees on
either side OF the street kept the
flames confined to the one block.
The origin Of the fire is mystery.
A telegram was received in this
city about o'clock asking for the
assistance Of the local FIRE depart
ment, and in a very few minutes a
hose cart was loaded on fiat car
and accompanied by about 100
citizens the run was made bv a
switch engine TO our neighboring
city in just seventeen minutes.
The local fireman arrived too late
for effective work, as the fire had
