FIRE AT WAGNER.

Some time between midnight and
5 O'Clock this morning FIRE broke
out in the Office Of the Daily Say

entire plant together with the gro
Gerry store Of Geo. Schaffer and the
Williford meat market, the latter
in the same building with the
Sayings and the former in hn ad-
joining building. The origin Of
the FIRE is not known. and the loss
can only be estimated. The Say
ings printing plant was valued st
about 81 900. and was insured for
about s1,7O0. The lose Of Mr..
SchaEer will probably reach 81,
500, insurance not known. and the
Willisord meat market stands for
s4OO or $500.
The building occupied by the
Sayings and WilIiior6. meat market
was owned BY I'd Lee Of this city.
