TO-DAY.

Larimore, N. D., June 5.-Ffghting
desperately with only bucket brigade
on which to depend, the Larimore Are
department this morning stopped a
big blaze which at one time threaten
ed to sweep several blocks. The fire
started at 2 o'clock in a restaurant in
the rear of the First National bank
block but when 1t was discovered it
was so far advanced that it was feared
that the entire city block would be
devastated. The fire engine was be-
ing pushed to the limit and it gave
out at the most critical point III the
fight and the rest of the fight had to
be done with buckets and small chem
icals.
The plucky fire fighters however,
succeeded in holding the FIRE to the
bank block and Mrs. B, A. Cowley's
millinery store which is along side the
bank building The entire loss will
be about $4,000 with $4,000 insurance.
Several transients who were room
ing over the restaurant part of the
bank block had narrow escape from
the flames.
The origin Of the fire is q mystery

this is the third time that the First
National bank block has been on fire
in the past three years. AN OF these
