HON. Near First and Blondeau

Tavern in the Days of the Forties
Was Wrecked and Lumber Used
in Dwelling scorehed
Today.
THE OLD RAPIDS HOTEL

Historical boards they were that
caught fire this morning at ten min
utes to seven. Timbers that were
used in what was probably the first
hotel or tavern as it was called in
those days-that was built in Keo-
kuk.
The firemen were called to the En-
low home at 49, Blondeau street at
the early hour today to put out Il
fire that started between the ceiling
of the kitchen and the bath room
on the second floor, and was gradual
ly eating it's way among the joists
and other woo work of the rear por-
ton of the home made of antique
lumber
AS near as some old citizens can
remember, it was along in '55 or 56
that the Rapids Hotel, an old road
house and stopping place of the forties.
was torn down. This antiquated
frame hotel was situated some where
near the place where the water works
plant is now located. When the struc-
ture was RACED, man by the name
of Burns had the lumber hauled up
between First and Second on Blon-
deau street and on the high slope,
he erected the home which was
scorched quite badly this morning.
William S. WINS at one time bought
the place and later the property pass
ed into the hands Of the Dunlap FAM
lily, and is now portion of that es-
state, controlled by an agent.
The dwelling in which Mr.. and Mrs
I Enlow now make their home is a two
story frame, and but for the chemical
| application which was used might
! have been destroyed by fire. That
4 however. would have been unwelcome
{ for several reasons. as the lumber
j used in the construction of the old
! home, have historic worth in their
1 fibres. and though the old hotel has
I long been gone, the greater part of
/ the lumber, the heavy stills and stud
dings. and the large boards that made
the tavern in the days of keokuk's
& historic forties. are still in a state

Morning Blaze Threatened to Wipe
Out Historical Smoky
Row.
Especial to The Gate City.l

Special to The Gate Clty.l
MEMPHIS, Mo- Dec. 22.-About 2
O'Clock this morning our city was
visited BY disastrous fire which
came near wiping out the historical
Smoky Row, on the southeast corner
of the square. Among the buildings
destroyed We're the two story brick
building owned by the Leisy Brewing
Co., two frame buildings owned by
r. w. Barnes and used as lunch
room and store room, for electric light
supplies: the Farmers restaurant,
owned by Mrs. VIM. Preston, and the
office building of Dr. f. Brainerd.
All buildings save the first mention
ed were frame structures and old
land marks.
How the flames originated is not
definitely known. but is supposedly OF
incendiary origin.
The loss on buildings and contents
is placed conseryatively at $4,000.
The Leisy building was used as a
club room
The loss in the burned district is
partially covered by insurance but the
exact figures could not be ascertain
ed at this time.
In all probability several of the
structures will be replaced by sub
stantial brick buildings.
