Several Stores Burned In Whole OF

Pretty Well Insured as a Rule.
Especial to The Herald.)

Brigham City. July 20.-This after
noon Brigham City was visited by one
of the most disastrous confiagrd tons
il has ever experienced. AT about 4:lo
p. M fire was discovered in the rear of
the premises on Main street occupied
by Peter J. Larson, merchant, and the
alarm was at once given.
The Brigham city fire brigade quickly
responded. When they arrived they
found the building in flames. 1t was
large frame structure filled with
merchandise, from which the flames
quickly jumped to the next building
six feet distant. which was occupied by
Chris Anderson's harness shop, and
owned by r. S. Jones'.
The building on the south, occupied
by H. NJ. Barnes and the Deseret Tele-
graph office, was also considerably
damaged. There was also a small stock
of merchandise and notions in this
building most of which was saved.
The building occupied by r. W. Com
eter. photographer, was next in line of
the fire and was considerably damaged.
At this juncture it looked as if the
whole block was doomed, but by a des-
perate effort the firemen succeeded in
subduing the flames. Sparks from the
fire were carried over half block and
ignited the roof of the county Jail. The
flames, however, were eXtinguished be-
fore any serious damage was done to
the building.
P. ]. Larsen is the heaviest loser, as
he lived in the rear of his store, and
lost all of his household goods. He
carried a stock of merchandise valued
at between $4,000 and $4,000. of which
not to exceed more than $500 worth was
saved. There was 81 400 insurance on
the stock. and $500 on the building.
