reused out of its slumber by the
high wind. The constant ringing
of the bell, however, impressed
people with the feeling hat some
thing more than the ordinary was
transporting and reluctantly got
themselves together only to find a
sight awaiting them that caused a
shudder of alarm and anxiety
the Tower house, was ablaze, and
surrounding property in danger.
From all that can be learned, a
spark from the Pierce barn must
have. been lurking in the dry weeds
at the back of the hotel, and
strengthened by the high wind,
took full possession of the premises
with a seeming delight and ap-
petite that was pleasing to look
upon but unpleasant to realize.
The building was particularly we'll
situated to catch the southeast
wind, and as the fiery tongues
Tapped up their innocent prey in
! lurid glory the sight was splendid
beyond expression. Sparks few
and glittered in all directions like
feathers in a wind, twinkling like
stars in the voluminous smoke,
the whole combining to make a
beautiful looking miniature sky
and meteoric spectacle.
Following up its victory over the
old Tower House building, the
demon sought for higher game,
and encircled its.frey arms around
the large and substantial mill of
LaRue-Miller. This was a feast
for the hungry fend, the high
elevator being particularly favor
able for the display Of its glcry.
The sparks from this high build
ing flew broadcast in the air, and
soon it was noticed that several
small fires had been started
in the dry grass and rubbish that
had been allowed to accumulate in
back yards and lanes for four
blocks away, spreading as far as
the school for the deaf farm, where
it took in all within reach.
In the meantime the wind stiff
fened to ten miles an hour, and
the four small buildings near the
mill were soon in flames. From
this on all possibility of saving the
buildings that had caught fire from
flying cinders was at an end. At
this time the whole town seemed
in danger, the scene was a vivid
river of fire, some thirteen build
ings being abaze, the demon glory
ing in its anxiety to finish it work,
presenting a panoramic view
above picture or imagination.
At 1870 BranchAower's large
livery barn was in flames. All
the animals and stock had been re-
moved, SO nothing but the build
was destroyed. The flames had
now reached the top of the eleva-
tor, and having eaten away the
foundation, it gave a gentle bow
, to it's insignificant competitors,

and fell over, dashing fire and
flames in all directions.
NOTES.
Flying embers set fire to the
prairie south of the school of the
deaf, and the burning grass added
to the picturesqueness of the
scene. +
w, S. Russell, civil engineer OF
Grand Forks, superintendent the
line of hose playing on the build
ing adjoining the Tower house
Dan Farrell and Tom Lonnevik
were on the nozzle inside the
building, and by the matchless
ability displayed by Mr.. Russell in
directing them, was due the pre-
vention of the spread of the flames
to Prosser & Serumgard's farm
machinery building.
All the farm machinery, wagons
and buggies we're taken from Pros.
ser & Serumgard's building, and
then moved back again. Captain
Lonnevik says he never worked SO
hard in his life.
Peter Haley had moved but
little of his machinery from the
old location, but expecting to do
so the first of the week had can
celled $1,000 worth of insurance
but a few days ago. The contents
of the old building was total
loss.
Herb Jones succeeded in re-
moving all of his household goods,
and was heard to remark shortly
afterwards: II have no more home
than a jack rabbit" Having saved
his own effects, Herb worked faith
fully helping other unfortunates
in removing their effects.
Among the best work done was
the saving of r. T. Fox residence
which adjoined the burning barn
and was directly in line with the
wind. The big windmill between
the house and barn worked splen-
didly and threw a stream of water
fsuficient to keep the house pretty
well soaked. Charley Turner
handled the nozzel and stuck to
his post, Notwithstanding the in
tensity of the heat.
The rumored loss of life at the
Tower House was the cause of
much anxiety-but the clerk
turned up all right this morning.
He wasn't as sleepy as some gave
him credit for.
The loss of those eight kegs of
beer made a few feel kind of
thirsty.
No better work could be done
by an organized fire department
than was performed last night by
our brigade.
The prowling delegation of pill
ferers was visibly absent, much to
the comfort of the sufferers from
the fire.

The FIRE DEMON ABROAD
Devils Lake as Well as Other North Dakota Towns Visited, Resulting in
Thousands Of Dollars in Losses

Reproduced from Saturdays Fire Supple
Yesterday was Devils Lakes
innings for history to repeat itself.
While our citizens generally we're
congratulating themselves upon
the extraordinary fine weather we
we're enjoying, and the prospects
of the coming crops, a dark cloud
was noticed lowering in the western
sky which forbore an omen little
anticipated. Instead of rain came
q food of fire. Not since 1884,
when the southeast corner of
Fourth street and Kelley avenue,
with the adjoining buildings, went
up in smoke, was our city SO un-
fortunate as on the Goth day of
April, 1900. If Devils Lake never
had anything to date its past
history from, a most forcib]e one
was granted yesterday-with a
record-three fires within twelve
hours, two of which proved most
serious in loss of property, but
fortunately, no loss of human life.
Just ten years ago, within a
month or two, commencing on the
same spot the Demon of Fire plot
ted q devastation which lowered
to the ground what was at that
time, some fine structures occupied
by Ed. I. P. Stade as q farm i'm
plement warehouse. At that time
the same two blocks of buildings
bent their knee in humble sub
mission and went out of existence.
Starting at l o'clock yesterday
the unwelcome visitor located it.
self at the large livery barn of G.
A. Pierce, swallowing up the entire
building and laying lifeless two
valuable horses, one the property
of Mr. Pierce, the other owned by
Al Haslam, particulars Of which
we're given in our extra edition
yesterday.
At 10 p. m. the fire alarm again
rang out, this time to a small
blaze which broke out in Reid't
hotel, caused by the upsetting of {
lamp. The lamp had been hang
ing on the wall upstairs. The
front door being open a strong
draft Of wind blew the lamp from
it's fastening, and falling to the
floor exploded, setting fire to the
wall. The blaze vas extinguishee
by the bucket brigade, and it wal
not necessary to bring the services
department into %requisition. Out
side of a little inconvenience, Mr.
Reid did not suffer much loss, ane
was doing business as usual one
hour after the excitement. Billy
will not be conquered. The est
mated damage to the building il
placed at $50.
At ll:45 p. M, cries of "Fire
, Firer!' rent the air and curiousl!
enough, some one started the cur
few bell. As nearly all had re
tired, few felt like getting vi
again, thinking perhaps it wa
only the reviving of the smould

the Trust at its own prices the agitation
for tariff against the island would
never have been heard from.
The usual Price for leaf tobacco is 90
cents a pound, tho maximum is 10
cents The Dingley rate is sl.s5 a
pound. Fifteen per cent of this is 90
cents-70 per cent of the minimum
price and 14o per cent Of the maximum.
This rate is of course absolutely pro-
hihitory.
If the Trust can manage to get 10
per cent duty imposed, or can prevent
all legislation for another year-which
means tie continuance fol the present
of the Dinghy rates-the planters will
be forced to sell, and thon the Trust
will change front and advocate the
removal OF the duty. In many articles
10 per cent of the Dingley tariff is not
serious, but in tobacco alone 1t is
practically prohibitise, and this fact is
only too we'll understood by the Porto
Rico planters aud the Trust, which Is
attempting to rob them through Con.
eressional aid.
