When IL was seen that all efforts
to subdue the flames in the hotel
building were in vain, the fre
fighting forces were divided. One
section turned its attention 10
Frank Crosson's frame store build
ing directly across the street aid
the brick Union block adjoining
Another section turned stream OF
water on Rogers and Amen's livery
barn, which joined the burning
building on the west. Another.
with Curley Byes as leader, secur-
ed dynamite with which to blow up
the Meyer and Handley buildings
which were next to the hotel,
while still another section began
to flood the roof and walls of the
Bane brick building which adjoin-
ed the Handley building on the
east. The destruction of the Mey-
er and Handley buildings with dy-
Mantle was all that saved the lat
ter building, together with the
Bane hardware store and the Rus
sell hotel. If these had gone. it is
probable the entire business dis
trict would have been wiped out.
But in spite of the intense heat,
the fire fighters heroically held the
line and the advance of the fire
fend to the east was checked.
Meanwhile, the force that was
endeavoring to save the Crosson
building and Union block were
having a strenuous time. The
livery barn was soon ablaze and
also Mrs. McAdams' restaurant di
rectly west, and the heat as hotter
than hell itself. But the water
line never wavered and the eudless
chain of water filled buckets never
stopped. Blankets were spread on
the roof and score or to of men
kept stream of water flowing over
the building. Others, needless of
the intense heat which scorched
the clothing and blistered the skin,
made dashes along the exposed side
OF the Crosson building and kpet
it moist. Several times it caught
FIRE, but wherever tongue of flame
appeared there was brave fellow
with bucket of water to quench
it. For three long hours the battle
lasted. aud when the fire had burn
ed itself out and all danger of its
spreading farther had passed, a
great sigh of relief went up from
the weary and wet and begrimed
army.
As soon was it as seen that ser
ious conflagration was threatened
and that with the scanty means at
hand of fighting fire it as inpos-
sible t. subdue the flames. messages
were sent to Boise, Nampa and
Caldwell, requesting assistance.

At each place the response was
prompt and generous. Engines
and hose were being loaded onto
cars for transportation to this city,
with force of men to man them,
when the tide. Of battle turned in
our favor and the request was
counternianded. The Caldwell
outfit had already reached Middle
ton on its journey. the Nampa ap-
paratus had been loaded on cars
and the train was ready to pull out
of the depot yards, and the Boise
department was also ready TO start
on its trip.
After the danger was over and
the people had an opportunity to
look around, the the narrow escape
the adjoining buildings had had
was seen. The sides of thei iCrosson
building clear up to the gable and
cornices were charred by the fierce
heat. Union block suffered in a
similar manner. The Bane build
ing had its roof charred, and every
building across the street for a
block had its window glass broken
out. The dynamite shock had also
broken plate glass windows in the
Stanley building.
Toward midnight. pump was
placed on the ditch bank and with
Otto WilheIm's threshing machine
engine as power, and Harry Titus
and Ray Coon guiding the nozzle.
