Stock In Furnishing Store Of
Mccullough & Co. Almost
Totally Destroyed.
HOTEL GUESTS PACK.
Thought Packer House Would Be Burned
And Got Ready To Leave-Pape Faml-
ly Also Prepare TO Leave Their Home
-Firsmen Do Good Work And Soon
Conquer Blaze.

A raging fire was discovered in Nc
Cullough & Company's clothing store,
68 Smith street, a few minutes after
10 O'Clock last night, and, although
the firemen arrived promptly, the en-
tire stock in the store was burned or
ruined with smoke and water before
they got the fire out.
Roy Hall was in the Packer House
when the fire was discovered and he
sounded the alarm twice which
brought Washington and Lincoln Hose
and Protection Hook and Ladder
Companies out in a hurry.
The members of Washington Hose
got their machine there first and they
soon had stream playing in the back
part of the building where the fire
had started. 1t was here that the
flames were beginning to leap out the
windows threatening Sexton's drug
store on one side and Pape's barber
shop on the other. Mr.. Pape, his
mother and two sisters live over the
barber shop and they had begun to
hurriedly pack their goods ready to
vacate, when they were assured that
the fire was under control Some of
the guests in the Packer House also
became frightened for time until
they saw the tiremen were masters of
the situation.
Mr.. Mccullough said that he closed
his store about quarter to 8 last
night and was at Hartman's s bowling
when the alarm was turned in. He
is as much mystified as any one as to
how the fire started, although every
thing noints to an overheated or a de-
feotive chimney. There was good
fire in the stove even after the fire in
the store was all out.
Mr.. Mccullough said he had about
$40, 900 in stock which he believes is
fully covered by insurance. He had
OF received his full stock of spring
goods yet, some of which is at the
freight station. now, and only yester-
day he had received letter that some
brand new show cases he had bought
would be shipped in week. Had the
fire occurred a week or two later,
these would have been destroyed with
the rest.
Mr.. Nielsen, of Nellsen Brothers,
said they carried one quarter of the
ins1esGce and Mr.. f. F. Fox, the
other three quarters which he believed
would amount to nearly $4,000.
Kelly & McAlinden own the build
ing and their loss, whieh will proba-
bly, reach seven or eight hundred dol
lars, is fully covered by insurance.
