Reitinger house and Andy Molter s
house opposite the elevator all
caught and one of the houses burned
fiercely. The firemen could not get
around on South street to throw the
water directly into the flames, but
had to fight it from the south toward
which it was burning.
Men and boys with buckets helped
put out the fire on the roof of the
mill and also on the houses. A hun
dred feet of Pennsylvania hose was
attached to the pumping station and
with about 300 ft. of city hose made

fire on the planning mill. The en-
CINE was kept at 40 pounds of pres

This and the two lines of city hose

J. S. Ness residence.
The last of the severe fighting of
the firemen was on the west of the
elevator to save the beer storage
house from burning. The burning of
the office and warehouse of the ele-
vator made a hot fire, but the wind
was In favor of the firemen. There
are a few remains of the wareroom,
but nothing worth anything except
for kindling. In the warehouse were
stores Of flour, lime, plaster, cement,
tile. etc. The elevator held about
1000 bushels of wheat. Of this 1850
belonged to d. E. Snyder but he had
it fully insured. Ziba Truax had 600
bushels, John Gibson 255 buShel., !,
and there were others. whose exact
amounts will be hard to get because
the grain book of the firm. was burn
ed. The other books were put into
the safe at the Office and are perhap,
saved.
Tribbey & Mullenhour had $1,000
of insurance on the building and
contents. which covers most of their
loss. Mr.. Tribbey had not been at
the elevator for abouto two weeks,
on account of illness. Mr.. Mullen
hour was going to take out some
more insurance today on the stores
of wheat to protect himself in case
of loss on wheat stored by custom
ers. He stated that they were re-
sponsible for all the wheat stored
there except that of Mr.. Snyder.
who carried his own risk.
In the elevator were besides the
wheat. $50 bushels of rye. 500 of
oats and about 100 bushels of corn.
There will be some salvage in this
