BAD BLAZE AT ABERDEEN.
Milwaukee Passenger Station and
Freight Depot Go Up In Flames.

Aberdeen Daily News, Jan. %: Con-
fagrations which resulted in the loss
of approximately quarter of a million
dollars broke out in the city this morn
ing. completely wlping out the pas
senger station, freight Offices and all
uptown offices of the Milwaukee rail-
was company, and badly damaging the
$4,000 furniture stock of the Crocker
& Owen company.
The fire in the Milwaukee offices,
which started shortly before 8 O'Clock
by the explosion of an oil stove in the
east end Of the freight warehouse,
razed to the ground every building in
the uptown office section. While the
fire department had every available
part of its equipment working upon
this tremendous blaze, flames broke out
in the furniture store of Croker &
Owen, 16 Third avenue southeast, the
fire rapidly reaching to the third floor
of the building and demanded the at
tention of the fire department. The
Milwaukee building being at that time
beyond hope of saving, the fight there
was abandoned for the time being and
attention turned to the uptown blaze.
Shortly before noon the fire in the
furniture store was practically
quenched. The walls of the building
being of solid masonry, the floors and
contents were the chief objects of de.
struction, and the most of the damage
is found to be to the stock, caused from
heat, smoke and water. The stock was
valued at $4,000.
The local warehouse and offices o1
the Advance Thresher company have
been obtained by the railway company
fo- temporary quarters for freight, ex
press and other offices, and lumber il
already on the ground for the con
struction Of temporary building for 8
ticket Office. The dispatching of train.
will for the present be conducted al
the yard Office at the west end of tn,
yards for the west division, and prob
ably from the Bath passenger station
for the east end of the division.

Fate of John Dugan.

John Dugan had a freckled face
His hair was very red
His girl was very pretty but
'She powdered" it is said.
And when John tried to kiss her,
AS he should in such a case,
The powder it exploded when
His red hair brushed her face.
What q report! And it was heard
For miles and miles around
Poor John was blown to atoms
And was scattered DER the ground
The coroner was notified
And word sent to his folks
Who have the heartfelt sympathy
OF all who live in Oakes.
But John was blown to pieces SO,
And scattered all around
The funeral can't be held until
The pieces can be found.
But. John Dugan left a moral
Altho, poor John is dead.
Don't spark girl who powders
II your hair is very red.
