As it is, the roundhouse, machine shops, over half the rolling stock of the railroad, several residences and other buildings were destroyed, the loss being over one hundred thousand dollars The fire was started by a forest fire, which, famed by high wind swept over the northern part of the townsite. The entire population fought the flames for hours, which for q. while threatened to destroy every building in the town, but the result of the work and back draft by the wind saved the day at last. So bad and threatening was the con dition at one time, that every steamer and boat available was brought in toN the wharf and the women and children taken on board with their possessions When the danger sub sided they returned to their homes, some of them to find nothing but blackened ruins. Several narrow escapes are reported by the fire fight. CTS, but it is thought that no lives were lost. The fire is supposed to have originated ill some forest clear ing.
