YESTERDAYS FIRE DAMAGE.
Loss by Fire. Smoke and Water Heavier than
at First Thought.

The fire in the North property at 203
Water street. early yesterday morning
did much more damage than was at
first supposed. The fire started in the
basement of the store occupied
by F. II. Butler and Wheeler & Cross.
at a point half way down the room.
Just what started the fire has not yet
been learned and it is probable that an
investigation will be made.
The smoke worked up through the
building into the rooms occupied by
Mrs Eva f. Chadsey, who was aroused
and gave the alarm. When the de-
partment arrived the basement was
filled with smoke and it could be seen
that the timbers of the store floor
We're burning briskly. The lines of
hose We're laid and as it was thought
The fire had worked into the store the
water was turned into the millinery
store. The smoke went all through the
building. so that while but little
damage was done by fire, a big loss
was caused by smoke This had worked
into every section Of the building and
hardly an office escaped without some
damage.
The loss is estimated as follows: f.
II. Butler. stock valued at $1,000. total
loss. insured for $500: Wheeler &
cross. $500; insured for $500. The
damage to the building. 5000. was fully
covered by insurance. Slight damage
was done in the store occupied by q. F.
Halves and l.. II. Dudley by the smoke.
but they are protected by insurance.
The loss ut Pierce's Crockery store will
amount to about 500 and was covered
by insurance.
