MAINE TOWN SC0URGED
BY CONFEDERATION
Presque Island Lost $4,000 Last
Night and 1000 People Were Rem
dered Homeiess-Area Of Half
Square Mile Burned.

Presque Isle, Ne, june Sire swept
one quarter Of this village LAST night,
burning 100 dwelling houses, ten potato
store houses, the Canadian Pacific rail-
way station, the Congregational church
and Masonic hall. The aggregate loss IS
estimated al 100000. The residences
burned Included some Of the best in the
village. Upwards Of 1000 people arc
homeless.
A high wind which prevailed Is re-
sponsible largely for tho extent of the
disaster.
Among the dwelling houses burned
were those Of John Brown, where the
fire started, former State Senator =. Il.
Parker, Charles Richardson, first select
man and representative in the legisla-
ture and the Baptist parsonage occu-
pied by the Rev Il. l.. Gates.
Several persons were reported in
jured in various ways during the FIRE,
but there were no fatalities.
The burned section covers an area
OF half a square mile, including North
Main street, Allen street, Third street,
Blake street and South street to Main
street. The insurance viii not exceed
$685. 900.
Every house in the town which es-
capped the flames was thrown open to
the fire sufferers and the churches and
school buildings were also a refuge for
many. Hundreds spent the night in the
open guarding such effects as they had
been able 10 save.
The entire northeasterly section Of
the village is In ashes Ordinarily, the
high pressure water system has been suf-
ficient to take care Of fires; but against
the eonaagation last night this FIRE
battling equipment was entirely made.

carried the flames toward the open
country, else the business section Of the
village would have been wiped out.

about 40 minutes to cover the 40 miles
between that city and Presque Isle.
Both the out of town companies were Of
great value in affording relief to the
tired local fire fighters, and, as the wind
had carried the blaze to a comparative
ly open section, ead away from the
thickly settled business and residential
district, the worst danger was soon
past.
