constantly aching backs, or headaches,

Four Buildings Narrowly Escape
Destruction Yesterday.
DEPT. DOES GOOD WORK
Flames Break Out in Standard Saloon,
Spreading to Wigwam Saloon,
Gold Bar Restaurant and
Balmer's Cigar Store.

At five o'clock yesterday afternoon
fire which started in the rear OF the
Standard saloon ON Astor street for a
F., time threatened to consume the entir
block and was only suhdued after the
most strenuous work on the part of the
| fire department and after three build
ings adjacent had been badly damaged
by the flames and water, The damage
is roughly estimated at $1,000, most OF
which is covered by insurance.
Just how the tie started is q mystery
though it Is thought to have started
from the refuse piled up in the rear OF
the Standard saloon. This consisted OF
old scenery used in one of the dance
halls and is highly inilamable, and
spark from some unknown source may
have ignited it, or spontaneous com
bustion may have been the cause.
When the flames were first seen they
were issuing from the roof and East
side OF the saloon, and in an incredibly
short time the entire roof was ablaze,
and the flames had been communicated
to the adjoining buildings, consisting
of Balmer's Cigar store and the Gold
Bar restaurant on the West and the
,Wigwam saloon and lodging house on
the East. A strong wind was blowing
at the time, and this famed the fire.
Within two minutes after the alarm |
had been turned in. the chemical en-
gine was on the scene. and the other |
two hose teams were on the way. A
stream of water was quickly procured
and within ten minutes more three
streams OF water and the chemicals
were playing on the blazing roofs.
Quick action on the part of the fire !
department undoubtedly saved the I
buildings. for the fire had gained great
headway.
The contents of the buildings were
removed in record time so that moth
ing of great value was burned, water
however flooded the buildings. pouring
through the roofs and ceilings Of the
lower floors, and causing considerable
damage.
To repair the building, it will be
necessary to completely re-roof the
Saloon, Gold Bar Restaurant,
md Balmer's cigar store and the great
y part Of the Wigwam saloon.
The greatest cledit is due Chief Eos.
er and his men who displayed the ut
most zeal in conquering the flames, and
preventing their spreading further than
hey did. A few moments more and it
: probable that the entire block would
ave burned and perhaps, many more. !
All the structures adjacent are OF wood ,

About seven o'clock another alarm was
urned in from the Standard saloon. An

ering pieces of debris had started an !
