BIG GRAIN ELEVATOR BURNED
Sunday Night Fire Destroys StOsffopf
and Bakers Elevator on East
Water Street.
Building Burned TO the Ground. Im-
possible for Firemen to Save 1t.

Last Sunday night about 9:45 the
big grain elevator of Stoskopf 4
Baker on East Water street was dis
covered on fire.
The fire was discovered by Emil
Rasmussen of the firm of Rasmus-
sen & Hanson, who turned in the
alarm. He was driving with a party
of friends and drove by the elevator
about $50, or a little later. but did
not notice any fire then. They drove
down towards Trout Run and re-
turned in few minutes. When near
ing the hospital he noticed bright
light in the vicinity of the elevator
and drove around on Water street
to see what'it was and then saw the
blaze eating its way up from the
southeast corner, near the platform
approach. He rushed over to his
residence on Main street and turned
in the alarm. BY the time the fire
men arrived and had got the water
playing, the building was beyond
control, and the firemen did very
effective work in saving adjacent
property. None of the coal sheds
which were built up close to the
elevator were damaged. The elevat-
OF was burned completely to the
6round. d.,
The building was 30x32 and
about 65 feet tall and was built by
the Rock Island Company 20 years
ago. There was about 1000 bushels
of barley and oats stored in the
building, and all of this was ruined,
and we presume this grain was worth
around $1,000. Other losses were the
big scales, feed power cleaner. gas
engine, wheelbarrows, scoops and
other tools. The grain was insured,
but no insurance was carried on the
other stuff. The building is owned by
the Rock Island Company, and Of
course the company would be pro-
tected by insurance. whether or not
they will rebuild the elevator is a
question Just now.
Stoskopf & Baker will erect a
temporary Office down at the sight
CT the elevator to take care of their
coal business, and no doubt they
will have to build a new platform
scales.
The loss to Messrs. Stoskppf &
Baker will be considerable. How the
fire started is mystery, but several
mysterious fires have been discover,
ed recently about the city. and the
work savors of a fire bug in our
midst. How a fire could start in this
building on Sunday night, looks like
some fanatic, who wants to see
buildings burn, had hand in it.

During Mr.. Montgomery seven

that he can well feel proud of. His
first shipments of goods came along
by express, now and then, but after
he got under full sail, the goods
came in by the car loads. That he
made good is putting it mildly. We
understand that he intends to con-
tinue in the same line of business,
and it goes without saying that his
success is assured from the start.
His successor Mr.. Hustvedt, is a
fine young business man, and one
who will make a success of the
business. He is popular and well
liked by everybody, and he will give
square deal to all. He takes over
the business next Monday. This paper
