$4,000 FIRE
At WILTON
Mercantile Establishment Was
=. Destroyed

Wilton, N. D.. Feb. 2s.--A fire which
was discovered just before 1 o'clock
this morning, completely destroyed the
mercantile establishment and entire
stock Of p. ]. Tapping & Co.
The family of John Dixon occupied
the upstairs rooms and the dense
smoke within the building aroused
them in time for them to save their
lives and practically all of their house
hold goods.
The origin of the fire was due to a
defective furnace.
The local fire department, supplied
with powerful gasoline engine, a
good outfit of hose and plenty of wa
ter in the big tank, did valiant work
in saving the surrounding buildings,
though the goods in the novelty store
of Robert Anderson, next door, were
completely removed. The fire appara-
tus was working in perfect order and
there was no wind to hinder the fire
fighters and the water from the tank
was under high pressure. The loss of
the Lappin establishment. stock and
building, will probably exceed $4,000,
partially covered by insurance.

Women became hystericaI and at last
two were believed to have lost their
minds.
II is believed some were burned to
death in their beds without awaken
ing while others had fallen to a death
in the flames below when the floors
collapsed.
Shrieking men and women, crowded
the hall ways and down stairs, wear
ing only their night clothes, only to
be overcome by smoke and rescued by
the intrepid firemen who ventured in
side. Perhaps dozen were carried
TO the street.
A watchman discovered the fire and
turned in still alarm" This was
followed by the second and third
alarms which called out all the
apparatus of the city. When the fire.
men reached the scene, the people
were crowding the windows of the up
per stories, but before the ladders
were raised, the roof caVed in and not
one was rescued by the iadderms1.
The basement into which the interior
fell half an hour after the start Of
the fire, contains the bodies OF at
least forty persons according to tho
fire chief.
