FRANKLIN, Neb.. June 4-(speclal Tel
egram)-A most disastrous FIRE occurred
here last night. Two entire blocks, con-
sisting Of fourteen business houses, with
most Of the stocks Of goods, are a total
loss.
Thu origin Of the fire was in the Peterson
meat market, starting in the basement.
When discovered, about 1890 p. m, it was
a very small blaze, but the smoke was so
dense 1t was impossible to save the build
ing.
In less than thirty minutes FIVE buildings
were a mass Of flames. This was on the
east side Of Main street at the south end
and a heavy wind was blowing from the
south. Every indication was that the entire
business portion would be burned. The
wind changed to come from the east and
soon buildings on the opposite side OF the
street we're on fire and the only thing now
to be done was to save the north half Sec
tion OF the business portion. Fully 500 peo-
pie were on the ground and everybody was
helping in every way possible. The Eager
furniture building. which was iron-covered,
checked the flames. The fire was under
control before the north wall fell.
