West Salem.-Fire, believed to
have been started by boys playing
with tirecrackers, wiped out the
greater part OF the business district
of this town, causing loss estimat-
ed at 100000.
The residence section of the vii
lage was saved only through the eff
forts of the La Crosse fire depart
ment. which was called into service
and came down on a special train
when the local department proved in
adequate to the demands upon it.
The blaze broke out in the lum-
Der yards of the Sanders & Cullman
Co., and quickly spread to the lum-
Der yard of +. l. Bolles, adjoining
Both of these yards are at the edge
of the business district and to it the
flames were quickly communicated.
So rapidly did the flames spread
that the main stores, hotels, livery
stable, and both telephone companies
were soon burned out. The depots of
the Milwaukee and Northwestern
railways were saved after a hard
light.
The business places destroyed
