Fire at Rose'Creek.

Last Wednesday morning about two
o'clock. the: large general merchandise
store Of E.. G. ,.Keefe, & Co. in Rose
Creek village was discovered on fire by
Mr.: Keefe, who slept in the store. He
n as awakened by the smoke and was
YEARLY suffocated before he got out.
He quickly gave the alarm and the fire
was confined to the one building. The
value of the waterwOrks system was
very fully demonstrated. The Keefe
building with its entire stock of goods
and fixtures was. totally consumed,
practically nothing being saved. Mr..
Keefe informs us that the stock inven-
toried about $500, insured for $1,000:
the fixtures were worth $500, insured
for $500; the building was worth 1880,
insured for 81 ,OOO.,. The total loss viii
be over $500. The safe was pulled
out during the fire and the contents
were saved. The stocks in Fred Cle-
sons saloon near by and Garrison's
harness shop were removed, but fire did
not reach their buildings. The firm Of
E. G, Keefe & Go. will open up with a
brand new stock just as soon as the in
surance is adjusted and will occupy the
Kirtz building on the north side of
Main street.
