Disastrous Fire
Visits Yerington

About O'Clock Monday morning
three shots fired by Lon Chapel, who
is acting as night watchman at the Jail,
gave the signal of fire. The fire-bell
sounded moment after and the alarm
became general. The blaze was discov-
cred to be i'll the back end of the Snyder
building on Main street, occupied by
Leverich & McTaggart as saloon.
Just north of the saloon building was
the store of Harry Samuel, i'll fact the
two buildings were practically one, the
north wall of the saloon building being
the south wall of the store building.
The fire had also crept into the back end
of the Samuel building by the time the
two small chemical engines arrived on
the scene, and both buildings were full of
dense smoke. The firemen, led by Am
brose Kelley and Pringle made an effort
to squelch the blaze inside, but the
smoke drove them out, and soon the blaze
broke through the back wall of the store
building. 1t was then seen that the two
buildings were doomed, as the fire had
got beyond the control of the chemicals,
and the efforts of everybody were then
turned to saving the adjoining buildings
Blankets were thrown on the roof of the
Davidson building on the south and the
Reno Lodging House on the north, and
by heroic work of the bucket brigade
these buildings were saved, although
somewhat scorched. Fortunately the

morning was calm and there was no
wind. Otherwise the lodging house and
the Globe Hotel and the Davidson resi-
dence would surely have been burned
That good work was done by the fire.
fighters must be acknowledged when it
is known that the buildings to the north
and south of the burning buildings were
only Is or 30 feet distant. What caused
the blaze will probably never be known,
but the supposition is that it was defec-
tive electric light wiring.
Chas. SNYDER, who owned the two
buildings burned, suffered the greatest
loss. The buildings were valued at
about 81, 900 and there was no insurance
on them Leverich & McTaggart, the
saloon-men, lost about $4,000 in bar,
fixtures and liquors, and had an insur-
ance of s., 900; Harry Samuel lost stock
of goods valued at between s., 900 and
81, 900, upon which he had all insurance
of 50, 600. Both Leverich & McTaggart
Mr.. Samuel expect to go into business
again i'll other quarters. Mr.. Snyder is
undecided yet regarding the rebuilding
on the site of the old buildings
Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Murry, lessee
of the clearinghouse, desire to thank
the fire-boys for the splendid work they
did in saving the residence of the former
and the business house of the latter, and
Mr. SNYDER also desires thank the bows
for their splendid efforts in trying to
save his property.

The Yerington Electric and Telephone
Company has just completed a new line
to the lower end of the valley from Yer
