Big Blaze at Monument.

Fin, which resulted from defective
hue, destroyed three large franc
building at an early hour Saturday
morning Mt Monument, twenty miles
southwest of Ebert. The aggregate loss
is estimated at 1900.
The fire originated between one and
two ociock in the frame structure occu-
pied BY Mr.. Brown, barber, and because
OF the high wind that was blowing, the
flames were speedily communicated to
the Ihree-story Bonnet building, known
as the Postoifice hotel, and also to an
adjoining structure, one and one-hnlf
stories high, in which the postofiice is
located. Postmaster +. w. Bell occupied
the rear OF This building. When the tire
was discovered, practically the entire
population turned out at the ringing OF
the lire bell to fight the blaze, and the
worlsers were greatly handicapped both
by the wind and the lack OF apparatus.
For a time it looked as il the greater
portion OF the town was doomed.
Two telegraph poles were burned, and
this caused the interruption Of telegraph
