in three tanks, one of them holding 500
barrels of water and the other two 1000
barrels each. This water was conveyed

self out.
Adjoining the burning building and less
than ten feet away was the chapel, and
the principal efforts of the guards and
employees was TO save this from de-
struction. Fortunately the wind blew
the flames away from it, and by keeping
the walls as wet as was possible with
the means at hand it was saved from
any serious injury.
AS soon as the fire was discovered, the
fires in the boilers below the carpenter
shop were drawn, to prevent possible
danger of explosion, and the dynamos
stopped this leaving all of the buildings
in darkness. The building which con-
tains the tiers of cells is about 100 feet
from the burned structure, the chapel
being between. In the cell room there
was great deal of confusion, and for
a time degree of excitement, which
threatened serious results the darkness

immediate danger. Then they Quieted

BURNED ITSELF OUT.

In the tailor shop and carpenter shop
in the meantime the fire was slowly
burning itself out of material. The fire
wall between the two shops fell, wreck
ing everything on the second story, but
It's force was not sufficient to break
through the brick and steel protecting
the lower floor. The fire burned fiercely
until about o'clock and then commenced
to die out. After that time none of the
other buildings were in danger.
The loss IS estimated al $25, 900. The
building originally cost $90,0 ,000 but its
main walls are not seriously damaged
and 1t is believed that $40, 900 will repair
It. The damage to goods in the store
house and to the tailor shop will be
something less than $5,OOO while the
carpenter shop and the machinery there
suffered a loss Of about $1,000. AS to
insurance nothing is known here, but it
Is believed that the loss is entirely COW
cred by policies held by the state.
No appeal was made to the city Of ST.
Cloud for help and none was sent, as, ow-
ing to the lack of water. the depart
ment could have accomplished little or
nothing.
Supt. HOultOn was not at the reforma-
tory during the progress of the fire. He
