elo FIRE At HUDSON.
rour Elevators and other Buildings
Destroyed.

A disastrous fire, entailing q loss esti.
mated at $4,000, occurred at Hudson on
the night of March q. The fire started
ut 10 O'clock in a small barn standing
oionrside of Terwilliger &, Dwtght's ele-
vntor. near the Milwaukee tracks. The,
flames soon spread to the elevators Of Ben-
der Bros. of Spencer, Iowa, the Farmers
elevator, the Huntington elevator and p.
RI. Halls coal house. These buildings
stood close together and were all
constructed of pine. The wind was.
blowing from the south at the time the.
fire started, and as the town lies directly
southeast Of the elevators the entire village
was threatened. Hudson's small volun-
teer fire department was helpless to COM
hat the flames. The whole town turned
out to the fire and many people drove in
from the country. At n time the fire
was so threatening that the citizens stood
ready to move out their household goods
with teams should the fire spread. Fort
unately the wind shifted from the south to
the northwest, and kept the fire from get
ting into Fitch & Castles lumber yard.
The changing of the wind was the only
thing which saved the town from being
entirely wiped out.
While the fire was in progress the local
department asked for assistance, and mes.
sages were sent to Canton aud Sioux City
for aid. The Canton department arrived
ON a special train, but its assistance was
not needed. The Sioux City contingent
was notified not to come. The fire lasted
lust one llour and thirty minutes. The
fire is said to have been caused by tramps.
Black Hills Man Killed.
A telegram was received from Seattle
the other day by Sheriff Plunkett of Dead
wood stating that a man named Sam
Roberts had been killed by burglars at
| Dyea, Alaska, and asking IL such a man
had come from the Black Hills. Mrs.
Roberts who lives at Golden Gate near
Central City, had already purchased a
ticket to Dyea, planning to leave in a day
or SO to join her husband. The sheriff
found the woman happy in the thought
| of joining her husband in a few days.
| The news of the murder drove her almost
insane. Not much is known of the Shoot
ing affair further than that Roberts was a
city officer and was shot while protecting
some property from burglars. The man is.
