covered in Aliens restaurant and be-
fore sufficient help could be secured to
get the flre under control the three
frame buildings between the brick har-
ness shop on the south and the brick
furniture store on the north were to-
tai loss, including the stocks. fixtures
and some household goods.
Starts in Restaurant.
It is thought the fire started In AL
lens restaurant from an over-heated
stove which stood near a wood parti-
tion wall, and altho the men of the
town turned out to fight the blaze they
could do nothing to save the buildings
or anything in them. They were very
much handicapped BY the fact that the
water works system Is undergoing re-
pairs and ther< fwas not sufficient
water pressure Nto work with. The
buildings burned were:
Aliens restaurant building. loss
about $1,000; loss Of restaurant stock
about 1866. Buildings and stock were
owned by Ed Lundin and sisters.
J. Kirkman's barber shop building
loss about $1,000: loss on tools and
f,xtures about $500. Loss on household
goods. furniture. etc, s40O. Building
owned by Ed Lundin and sisters.
Bas. & co!enaan's building. loss
about $1,000: loss on pool and billiard
tables therein about $500.
The Kirkman family lived in the
rear Of the barber shop but they did
not save anything except a few artt-
cles Of clothing. All the buildings and
stocks were partially insured. tho just
how much was carried on them can
not be learned at this time.
