Gardner, N. D.. Dec 16.-Fire.
which started at 1880 this morning in
Ira Gardeners general store at this
place. destroyed six business buildings
with the most OF their contents and
almost caused the death Of Mr.. Gard
ner and his family.
Ira Gardner and his wife and child
slept over. mis- general store. At 1880
Mr.. Gardner was awakened by a roar
Of flames and going down stairs found
the entire interior of his store a roar
ing furnace. He rushed back upstairs
and took his wife and baby from the
building and then went back for his
} clothing and some valuables. Just as
he reached the upper floor a gasoline
stove which had been reached by the
flames exploded and he was badly
burned about the face and hands
The flames caught the drug store
OF Geo. r. Cook which is Just north of
the Gardner general store and famed
by high north wind they quickly
spread to other stores to the south.
Gardner has no fire fighting appa-
ratus and it was at first thought that
every building In that side Of the
street would be wiped out.
An appeal for assistance was made
to Hillsboro and wrecldng crew of
the Great Northern with several tanks
OF water were rushed to Gardner.
With the assistance OF this crew and
the water they brought the fire was
stopped just .efore tt reached the
Great Northern hotel which is owned
by HRS. T. r. Collins. This was the
last building Ia the block.
The cause OF the FIRE was an over
heated pipe. Mr.. Gardner's clerk
started a fire in the general store ana
then went our TO sweep OFF the walks.
It was while he was away that the
pipe became overheated and set fire
to the walls of the building
Details Of the losses and the lnsur-
ance could not be learned.
Mr.. Gardner arrived in Fargo about
noon accompanied by OttU Morrow,
travelling representative of the Fargo
Mercantile Co.. and his injuries were
treated by Fargo physician. AL
though very painful they are not
serious.

from typhoid fever. Afr. NEcCrsa, who
was more Familiarity isErSwn among the
travelling fraternity as 'Cinch'' Mc4
Crea. was combined to hie bed with an
attack of typhoid fever some six
weeks ago. For time his life was
despaired of but little Over week
ago he began to improve rapidly and
was thought to be improving until
yesterday when a relapse occurred!
His chances for recovery were con-
sidered spleadid until about O'Clock
last evening when he began to sink
rapidly and it was soon evident that
he could last but a few hours. The
end came peacefully. s....
Mr.. McCrea, who was as years OF
age, was one of the pioneer travelling
men OF this section and was well and
favoraIbly known by a wide circle of
friends. He has travelled in this part
OF the country for about twenty years
and has represented the Deere weber
Machinery Co. He leaves a bride Of
last June to mourn his loss and son,
Harry McCrea, by his first wife. The
young man arrived in this city several
days ago and was at the bedside when
the end came. F. T. McCrea is a
cousin OF Geo. A. McCrea, the, well
known Draytotn banker and business
man.
Funeral arrangements will not be
completed until some time today but
1t is probable that the U. c. T. will
have charge of the obsequies. The
news of Mr.. McCrea's death will come
as severe shock to his hosts OF
friends from the fact that most Of
them thought him well on the road to
recovery. 41
