o'clock yesterday morning fire was discoy-
cred on the residence of Mr.. w. l.. Fields
on Main street. When first seen the
flames we're well under way. A crowd
quickly gathered, but without adequate
water supply the engine could do nothing
and the case looked hopeless. An effort
was indeed made to save the three Nor
gan stores and the big hotel, which were
close to the burning building, but IN q
hort time the stores were wrapped III
flames. Then of a sudden fire began
belching from the hotel windows and its
arches crashed to the. ground.
All efforts were then addressed to the
saving of the Mckay residence. Hundreds
of buckets of water were thrown on It.
Flower houses in the yard took fire and it
seemed that this too must be abandoned,
but the crisis passed, the hotel fell in
and the Mckay house stood safe.
Mr. j. C.. Morgan is the chief sufferer
His hotel was consumed in the confiagra
tion two years ago and this most hand
some edifice is hardly 4 year old. The
total loss is about $4,000.
