Half Million Feet Of Lumber
and Washing Machine Fac

at Midnight.
INSURANCE IS SMALL
Only Small Part Of Loss Gov
cred by Insurance-Was
Fifth Fire for
HarrisonS.

Loss roughly estimated at $12. 0o0O 90
occurred in . big fire last night
which destroyed the Henderson wash
ing machine factory on Commercial
alley and half million feet Of lum,
Der and q large number shed. the
property OF the Harrison Lumber COM
many. A number OF smaller build
ings, including the ONCE Of the Har-
rison Lumber company. were also de-
stroyed by the fire.
An alarm was sent in to the fire
department at 1876 a. m. It was six
o'clock this morning before the fire
was under control. Late this morning
watsr was still being thrown on the
ruined buildings. The fire was a
sequel to the one which occurred in
the Keokuk box factory several
months ago when the loss amounted
to about the same which was incur
red in the fire last night
Insurance 10 Small.
The insurance on all the destroyed
property was very small. Mr.. Hem
derson stated this morning that there
was but $500 insurance on his fac
tory, in the Sun OF London, through
Hobbs and Blood, agents T. G. Har>
rison, president OF the lumber com
pany stated this morning that the In
surance would cover but small part
Of his loss. II Is understood that the
insurance on the Harrison plant IL
divided among shout twenty different
companies, none OF them holding
largo amounts.
It'll not known exactly how the
fre started. But like the fire that
occurred Ia the Keokuk box factory p
few months ago, It spread very rapid
ly and threatened to wipe out all the
buildings IA that district. There are
number of lumber companies close
together along Commercial alley. ana
1t was feared At first that all Of these
would be swept clean.
II
atarted IN STONE Building.
It is believed the fire started in
the washing machine factory in an
old stone wall building near the edge
Of the BLUM. A woman who lives in
house just shove the bluff at this
place told Chief Anderson this morn
ing that she had seen the fire spread
from this place before any one arriv-
ed on the scene.
Adjoining this stone wall building,
which was a part OF the washing

Fire Had. Biz start.

BY the time the fire department
had arrived on the scene last night
the flames had spread from the stone
wall building to the big lumber shed
on one side and to the wooden build
ings Of the washing machine factory
on the other side. The department
at once connected six lines Of hose
and turned the streams on the fire.
1t was soon realized that the great
est amount of good the department
could possibly do would be to pre-
vent the flames from spreading to
other buildings in the vicinity. While
this was being done, water was being
poured on the flames in great vol
umes. It was an all night Job for the
firemen BY six o'clock this morning
the flames were under control and
practically out. They continued to
break out in various places, however.
and lines OF hose were left at the
place all day.
Fire Communicated TO Houses.
The fire was communicated to sew
eral houses on the bluff above, but
none Of these were damaged. The
home of Thomas Clarity, 30S E street
and OF Calvin Russell, 1416 Bluff, and
one or two others caught fire from
the burning buildings below the hill.
These fires were put out with water
thrown from buckets and did no
damage.
Once the fire lsaped across Com
mercial alley to a building opposite
the Office Of the Harrison Lumber
company, hut after the front of the
building had bsen burned the flames
were put out.
Fifth Fire for Harrison's.
( This was the fifth fire for the Har.
risons. while the Henderson buifu'
ines were burned to the ground once
before in 1882, when saw mill was
located at the place. Three times the
Harrison plant has been burned to
the ground, while twice the damage
has amounted to around $4,000. The
last fire there occurred but few
months ago when the box factory was
badly damaged. This fire occurred in
the middle Of the day while large
force of men were working IN the
building
Cephas Harrison, secretary and
tr .asurer of the Harrison company,
and son, of T. c. Harrison, president
OF the company, was in Omaha this
morning. His father wired for him
last night and he is expected to ar
rive here some time today.
Heavy Cloud Of Smoke.
When the alarm was turn ed IN lass
night. people were aroused and look
ed out OF windows and saw a thick
cloud OF smoke rising over the tree
tons This, was followed almost I'M
mediately by a dull blaze which grew
as the fire was fed. The smoke roll
ed across the city, and people on the
north side of town who watched were
given an opportunity Of seeing a pref
~ sight as the flames rolled into the
air causing dull red blot above the
tree tops.
