BLOOMINGTON FIRE.

Bloomington, H.. December 25.-A fire which broke out tonight in the middle of the building occupied by w A. Nicolles & CO., dry goods and ladies furnishings, destroyed that structure and was only prevented from licking up the double store of C. W. Klem, whole sale and retail dry goods by the hard work of the firemen. The buildings were new and as nearly fireproof as it was possible to make them and to this is att tributed the fact that the fire spread no further.
 The loss on the Nicolles stock, which was valued at $75,OOO, is total. The Klem stock of s3OO,OOO is badly dam aged by smoke and water. and 1t Is difficult to estimate the loss tonight.
 The total loss will not be far from $1OOOOO.

Al attempt was first made to rob City Marshal Higgins of his keys to the jail door but he convinced the mob that they were not in his possession at the time. A crowbar and hammer was then procured and the jail doors were battered and broken down open.
 Cooley had courage and cursed the mob when the leaders entered the jail, gan 10 realize that death was near. He began to supplicate and begged for the officers to protect him but they were overpOwered and taken care of Dy q portion of the mob.
