BAD FIRE AT SLATER.
Railway. Station, Freight Houses and
Mill Destroyed.

Railway. Station, Freight Houses and
Mill Destroyed.
Nevada, April 26.-The damage
wrought in the fire which DESTROYED the
passenger station used Jointly by the
northwestern and the Milwaukee roads
at Slater, the two freight depots, and
the large Touring mill belonging to
Nelson & Duland, at an early hour
Saturday morning is estimated at $14,-
600. The mills loss is $4,000 with S4,-
900 insurance, and the railroads loss
Sc, 900 with no insurance.
1t is rumored that a spark from
passing engine was the cause Of the
fire. The office has been transferred to
the interlocking switch tower. Prac-
.ically all of the records of both roads
at that station were destroyed. few
books were saved, one ticket cabinet
and small amount Of freight and bag
gage. The safe was so badly affected
by the heat that it was necessary to
ship it to Chicago to have it opened.
The burning EN- bers were blown over
the town and two residences were
fired, but the flames were extinguished
before any material damage was done.
No arrangements have been made for
rebuilding the depots as yet. The own
ers of the Touring mill stated that they
would probably not rebuild as the
business had hardly been sufficient to
warrant continuance, when the addi-
tional cost of rebuilding is considered.
