would be destroyed. The fire had by
this time worked into the hay and the
large crew who volunteered to help re-

back by the huge clouds Of smoke
which rolled out through the windows

their posts, however, and the greater
part Of the contents were removed

The firemen who had gained foot
hold in the front Of the building were
soon driven from their positions
by the smoke and forced to
throw their + stream ] onto the
roof from the ground. The whole up
per part of the building was mass Of
flames inside and the smoke looked
very handsome as it poured from every
Hcrevice.
Sparks flew to the roofs of adjacent
buildings and the firemen were forced
to take ladders and extinguishers and
play on the roofs to keep the fire from
spreading. A spark gained consider
able Roadway on the roof of near by
house and but for the timely discovery
it would have made a stubborn blaze.
The firemen severely suffered. The cold
weather made it very hard for them
to get around readily. The water
would freeze as soon as it struck and
many of the firemen were drenched
and their clothes were frozen solid.
They were as stiff as boards and COW
cred with ice. Several of the kind
hearted neighbors made a quantity of
hot coffee and served it to the firemen
who were very grateful for the cour-
tesy shown.

very picturesque.

only the upper part Of the building is
damaged. the tower floor being as good

nesses and other stable supplies are
distributed over large area and the
missing articles may be hard to dis
cover. They are insured for $500
which will fully cover their loss.
Mrs. Cannon is insured for $500 in
Downing's agency. Her loss will be
very nearly the amount of the insur-
ance if not over. as Il greater part of
her household belongings were not TAX
