FIRE LOSSES
Murray Heaviest Loser-ori-

covered Yet.

Nothing new developed today tend
ing to show the origin>of yesterday
afternoons fire which destroyed the
Westacott & Nelson livery barn on
South Fourth street. There is some
talk of defective wiring and the usual
"employe-smoking-a but
nothing definite to confirm either The
fire department is entitled to consider
able credit for its rapid and efficient
work in dOusing the blaze and pre-
venting the catching of fires in other
buildings, many of which were in
eminent danger.
The loss on the building is about
$4,000. The insurance was divided as
follows: Implement Dealers Mutual,
Grand Forks, $1,000; Commercial
Mutual. Grand Forks, $1,000; Insur-
ance Company Of North America,
$500; Northwestern Fire and Marine
of Milwaukee, $1,000; Queen City In
surance company Of Sioux Falls,
$1,000.
The Merchants Transfer company
and Mr. Murray will occupy temporary
quarters for the present. The build
ing will probably be rebuilt.
Mr.. Murray is the heaviest loser by
the fire. having allowed portion Of
the insurance on his interest in the
building to expire recently. One policy
for 81 900 which expired on Saturday
last was not renewed. Another policy
would have expired tOday.a
