No. warehouse of the Harth
Bros. Grain Co., at Seventh and Nor
ton streets, on the ~, c. and st. l..

grafton being in the rear of the
building where lot of baled hay
was stored Several streams of water
were worked on the building, which
has a tin roof. and after two hours
work the blaze was extingulshed blu,
not until a total damage of $4,000
had been done to the building and
stock.
The proprietors have insurance
amounting to $500, as follows;
Continental, $4,000; Germania $2,-
500; North American. $500; Roches-

$4,000.
The firm has a corn Smelling mill
at Eighth and Norton streets but
this was in no danger from the
flames The baled hay, being highly
lniammable, made the fire hard

did excellent work.
The fire was discovered by Officers
Singery and Churchill who are work
