STORIES OF THE FIRE.
DR.. q. c. NARROW of this city was in
Potosi Saturday night and did all in
his power to assist in lighting the
flames. He was about to leave his
branch office above the drugstore and
proceed to the hotel to retire when
the alarm was given. Hastily making
his way to the stricken building he
assembled the stairs in company with
others for the purpose of saving prop
erty. The dense smoke was so i'm
penetrable that all were forced
TO turn back. The Lancaster dent
list entered one of the bedrooms and
gained access to the roof of an adjoir-
ing building through the window. AS
he passed along the roof he heard the
groaning of human being distinctly
from an open window through which
smoke was pouring. Bravely enter
iorr he. 1oA OF h
floor in the direction from which the
means seemingly came and his search
was rewarded in finding the body of
human form. Nearly suffocated from
the smoke and heat himself, he man
aged to drag the victim to the window
and with assistance of j. OFT, who was
near. raised the limp object to the
window and managed to convey it to
the roof adjoining. The rescued per-
son was found to be A. A. Beck, the
photographer. He resides in Dubuque
and maintains branch gallery at
Potosi. He was on his usual trip to
the town and occupied sleeping apart
ments in the hotel. Retiring early on
account of slight indisposition, he
slept early and when awakened by the
alarm was so completely overcome
with heat and smoke as to be utterly
helpless. Some time elapsed after
his appearance in open air before re-
gaining consciousness. and a few
moments more passed in the smoke
and oppression would have proven
fatal. His loss includes beside gallery
paraphenalia, considerable mosey, his
wardrobe entire. etc. ana suffered
some bad burns al.o.

been added up wrong, and it was
corrected so that his assessment was
reduced LOO.
A large number Of assessments
