$4,000 FIRE AT r.
p. GRAND FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct, 29.-The
old Sheppard building, situated be-
tween Seventh and Eighth streets on
International avenue, caught fire at
about II o'clock last night in some
unknown manner and was completely
Quilted, the flames gaining such a
Roadway before the blaze was MOTTO
ed that the fire departments, which
responded promptly to the call, were
unable to check it and had a difficult
time to prevent the fire from spread
ing to other buildings nearby.
The Sheppard building, known now
as the Germania flats, is owned by,
O. 0. Rystad, a local jeweler. 1t is
not known whether there was insur-
ance on the place or not. The build
ing was about rs feet by 100 feet and
a frame structure and was worth in
the neighborhood Of $4,000. Cd.
Four families lived in the build
ing. Mrs. Title Lee and ~10-year-old
son Alec, having an apartment on the
first floor. A. Nelson and son also
lived on the same floor. Two families,
James Hurdon and two boys, and
Mrs. Sheldrew, two daughters and
one son, lived on the second floor.
Mrs. Lee was able to get all of her
things out of the building, as she
lived in the front corner farthest
La IlO, VIM oIdl LSu III luC
back end of the tenement. Mr.. Nell
son removed part of his household
goods, but none of the Others were
able to save hardly enough clothes
to get out with. A large number of
people hurried to the fire and aided
materially in helping the residents Of
the place to save their furniture. Mrs.
Lee stated that she had no insurance
on her goods, and that she did not
believe that the other people had. The
loss will be a heavy one to all. as
none of the families are comfortably
fixed, and all have to work for their
living.
They were all taken to the Chris
tiana hotel, which is next to the
old Sheppard building, n were given
quarters for the night in that place.
All of the people are homeless and
do not know as yet what they will do
for a place to stay in.
