On Friday morning about 4 o'clock
our town was awakened by the clang-
ing Of the fire bell. It was found that
the butcher shop of Arthur Morden,
the pool room of Boyer and Chariot
and the post Office were on fire. De-,
spite the heoric efforts of the young
men of the town those buildings
burned to the ground. Very little in
ssurance was carried on the buildings.
Mr.. Holz who owned the post-office
carried $500 90 and Macy Ann, Perrin
carried $3.50! 90 on the meat market
There was no insurance on the pool
room. Mr. Morden is the greatest
loser. but with true western pluck
will begin to rebuild as soon as the
weather will permit as will also Mr..

buildings. It was entirely owing to
the efforts of our young men that the
9o1flagration was not greater and the

more intelligence and more Of the

-emy, yet everything points to the fact
that he was foully dealt with. We

May never pity soothe thee with sigh.
Nor ever pleasure glad thy cruel
