Water and Smoke Damaged Goods
The only heavy damage done ln the
fire Friday afternoon was sustained by
the Star Clotblers, Their big store was
as usual filed with goods and those
that happened to be piled In the back
end suffered badly from water and
smoke, Quite u large quantity how
ever burned to crisp, Bnt by far the
largest portion only suffered by the
drenchIng of water While this does
not detract much from the wearing
qualities, II has musaed and solled Ill
the selling price is ruined.
IL Is dlllcult TO ascertain the exact
amount Of damage suffered on these
goods, Mr. Nussbaum says they have
not lnvoiced them but he estimates the
damage at from IS 1000 to $4,000. AS
he carries 100000 insurance on his
stock he probably expects TO fully re-
cover. The adjubters were expected
Monday or Tuesday, and the goods
will either be sold to them or he will
be paid for the damage and then put
the goods on the market for what they
will bring. TIE water soaked goods
consist of shirts, underwear, oyercoaIs
boys clothing, mems suits, boots and
sh oes, infact about everything in the
reserve stock which was mainly stored
up stairs, where the most damage was
done.
When these goods are placed upon
the market as they probably will be

A BIg EIre Averted,

What for time promised to be the
biggest conflagration that has come to
Hutchinson for many years was mar
rowly ayerted on Friday afternoon,
The fire started among sheds, shaks,
and dry goods boxes about the stair
ways behind the big store Of the Star
ClothieTs and the Streeter hotel. Ey-
cry thing was very dry and the flames
spread and gained headway very rap
idly, so that although the fire boys
were quick and soon on the ground,
before they had arrived very hot fire
was raging. The flames shot up the
sides Of the wall and doors and win
dow castings were blazing lively, At
the time of the arrival of the fire COM
bany 1t appeared as though they would
not be able to prevent the flames from
setting fire to the interior of the build
ings, In fact they did but the com.
pany worked 80 rapidly and 80 effec--
lively that the fire both inside and out
side was soon brought under control.
Nearly everything loose on the out
side was consumed. But what showed
the intensity Of the fire more than any
thing else was the damage done to the
stone wall in the rear Of these two
buildings. Behind the Star Clothiers
the wall appears to be almost ruined.
1t is charTed and cracked and scaling
off until it will propably have to be re.
built in The main, The wall behind
Streeter was also considerably dam
aged but not so badly. The damage
done to the goods Of the Star is the
principal loss. Though in the main it
was done by water and smoke, it is
damage just the same.
The origin Of the fire is unknown,
but as it started in the rubish IN the
alley it is supposed that either someone
had been careless in burning it, or it
had caught from a cigar stub or match
that had been thoughtlessly thrown
down,
