Fire Ut Ponnock.

Last Saturday fire destroyed the
general store owned by Benson &
Morris at Pennock. The origin of the
nre was peculiar. A young man was
IN the store, playing with an air gun
he put match in the gun and tried
to hit the stove pipe but missed it, and
the match flew into q pile of cotton
batting on the top shelf. The match
lgnited from the friction in flying out
OF the gun, and in q moment the COT
ton batting was in q blaze. The fire
spread so rapidly that nothing could
be saved in the store. The families of
the proprietors lived up stairs, and
part OF the furniture was saved. The
assembled crowd had to turn their at.
tention to saving Berglund's store,
just east Of the burning building. AS
there was no apparatus for fighting fire
this was hard task, and would have
been impossible if the wind had not
7eered at the critical time and turned
the flames in another direction. As it
was that building was slightly scorch-
ed. The loss on stock and bnildipe
will amount to nearly $1,000. There
was some insurance, but not enough
to cover the loss.
The Willmar fire department was
called on for aid, and the Hook and
Lalder company went up on a car at
tached to the passenger train, but they
arrived too late to render much assis-
.&ance
