Up to tonight Chief Burekes had
not heard from the two inspectors

New York state. last night, to look
for Dorr. 1t developed, today, that
Dorr has a sister in Maine.
The police today, located in a Bos-

$4l 900 Insurance on Blocks and
Contents That We're Wiped Out
===Waterville, HallOWell and
Lewiston Depts. Offer Aid.

Lines of hose were played all day,
Monday, upon the smouldering ruins
of the biggest fire that Augusta has
had since the Whitman &c Adams fir.
of January 6, 1904. The total fire loss
of Monday mornings fire is S59609,
and the total insurance upon the
buildings and contents which were in
any degree damaged by the fire was
$64S75 The total insurance upon
buildings and contents which were
wholly or in great part damaged by
the fire was SAL, 900.
Eight blocks in all were more or
less damaged by fire. -Four of these.
which We're frame buildings, were
burned to the ground one brick
block is almost a ruin. and another one
is so damaged as to require extensive
repairs. while minor damage by fire,
smoke and water was inflicted upon
two other blocks.
The buildings in the fire zone were
those on the eastern side of Water
street, numbered 129-f63, and an area
of wooden buildings extending nearly
200 feet was burned out of the bust
ness section of the North end by this
disastrous conflagration.
fire is that no one, either fremen or
occupants of any of the buildings,
was in any way injured during its
progress. The fire at one time threat
ened to sweep to the corner of Water
and Bridge street, and it was only the
splendid water pressure and efficient
work of the firemen combined with
lack of wind and a drizzle of rain that
made it possible to stop the fire upon
the roof of the Parrot block. The
water pressure was 12S pounds. and
notwithstanding all the streams that
We're on the fire the general water
pressure over the city was only
brought down three pounds while the
fire was being fought, and in the
morning was quite normal
The general belief when the fire
was first discovered was that it
caught in the cook room of the board
ing house of Mrs Isabelle ]. Murray.
which is located in the basement of
the Bowman block. where the fire was
first seen. But it is by no means alb
solutely sure that this was the way
the fire caught, for when Thomas Fl.
Quincy, who was the first man to see
the fire and send in the alarm, dis
covered it, it was raging underneath
Robert Millers fruit store. Wherever
it started. it had gained a great head
way in the basement walls, and that
was what made it so hard to cope
with when the department arrived.
Following is a detailed list of the
blocks damaged by fire, with the in
surance carried.

SUNDAY IN STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
Secretary.

The young people were out in full
force last Sunday, and they rode Wood
chuck and Gooding hill to a frazzle.
Snowshoeing was good and those who
risked the dizzy dash down the steep
mountain side say they had the time of
their lives. Tumbles were plenty and
yet no one was hurt. One more good
snow and then Woodchuck will be IN
condition for some of the experts to
take flying leap over the buildings of
the stone crusher. This is not as dan
gerous as the leap over the Hahn's
Peak court house, and yet no tenderfoot
has the nerve to tackle the stunt. The
Sentinel will offer a reward of S. for
the first person who will make the dar-
ing leap, or the same amount for the
first two who will ride the Sentinel
tandem shoes down Woodchuck and
over the last pitch to the Iron spring.
