DISASTROUS FIRE
VISITS COLUMBIA
Enterprising Little City Suffers
Damage to the Extent of
100000.

AZ mentioned briefly in the Bo-
v.yzA of Saturday last, a disastrous
copaagration swept over the business
norton of Columbia that afternoon,
doing damage to the extent of 500,
600.
The fire had its origin in the ware
house Of the Lothrc p.Davis though
what started it is a mystery. a
fierce wind was blowing at the time
and this famed the flames and made
il more difficult to subdue them.
The Goldheld fire department,
under the leadership Of Captain Ray
and "Ole" Elliott, did heroic work
and it was mainly due to their efforts
that the fire was finally conquered,
after raging for two hours.
There was no insurance and the
losses will fall heavy on some Of the
unfortunate business men. As neat
as can be as%certained they are as
follows:
Lothrop Davis Company, $25, 600
Coburn and Jarvis, 100000; G. J.
Blumenthal's Frisco store, So, 900
Sam COIN, 81, 900; Columbia CIlt
Saloon, $1,000; Nye and OrmsbS
County Bank, $500; Southern New
ada Consolidated Telephone and Tele
graph Company, 50, 900; Wells, Farg,
Company, 81, 900 and ~postofiice, al
