A. GREAT fire.!
MELLEN BLOCK IN ASHES.
LOSS ON BUILDING AND GOODS OVER $4,000.

Last Saturday morning, little before
6 O'Clock the fire hell rang, and those
who were not already out of bed were
soon no and in their clothes. Little
Tommy Flvuu was probably the first
person to discover the lire, and he made
a run Tor the city hall to ring the bell.
Frank Dotts, who was on his way
down TO the Red Ii !ht, reached the city
hall at the same tim. Tommy got there,
and Frank rung the bell. The fire lad
dies were on the grnLnd in short order,
and they were soon at the scene of the
fire, which was in the Mellen block, on
the north side. owned by Conway Mar
shall and H. J. Roec sers. But when the
bows got there and turned on the water
there was no pressure except that from
the stand pipe, and it did no good what
ever The water would not reach the
top OF the building, and the fire was ST
hot that the bows could not get clos,
enough to do any effective work. The
bows fought bra vely, however, doing a
in their po.,er to save the building. The
whistle from the pump house sounded
for help, but it was some time before
Art Dunham. who is in charge OF the
pumping station, had any response t.
his call He was unable to shovel Goa
and turn on the pressure at The sam'
time. Theo Van Velson finally reached
the pumping station, aud together the
two men went to work, Nick Nichols
and Frank RatcliH were the next at the
station. Finally, the water was cut of
from the standpipe and direct pressur,
was procured. This took some time.
and the fire was gaining headway ali
the time. The whole building was
ailaine, and there was no chance To save
it. The only thing that could be done
was to keep the fire from spreading.
As soon as there was direct pressure,
the water begun To do its work The

risking their lives IN their efforts to stop
the fire.

Mary had little lamb;
