land in recent years. broke out
shortly after 8 o'clock last evening
and kept both fire companies, with
all the resources al their command,

time i, looked as if not only the
Dunn building but the opera house
block on the south were doomed,
and ne fire was at times within a
few feet OF the door connecting the
two blocks.

and half a dozen places are pointed
out as possible starting places. but
the favorite theory is that> the FIRE
