stroyed by FIRE last night at 10 o'clock.
The general alarm sounded Fourth
ward and the Mitchell Hose company
responded promptly. They ran short
of hose and found the fire hydrant fro
zen. While they were after more hose
the ice was thawed With the second
lot of hose they enabled to get within
$50 feet of the burning building. but
owing to the altitude the water force
was insufficient to reach the blaze.
About five minutes later the Columbias
came upon the scene with still more
hose and q stream was soon playing on
the flames, but there was nothing left
to save.
The city fathers should now see the
necessity of buying a team for the Col
umbias who were obliged to go to a
livery. Had they reached the fire as
soon as the Mitchells the building could
have been saved and the damage would
have been very slight.
The fire originated from q defective
stove pipe. The household effects were
carried out. There is no insurance.
