threatened to wipe out the entire vii
lage. Famed by heavy wind, the
amounting to approximately $3S, 900
before they burned themselves out.
Had the wind been from any other d.
rection, the entire village would have
been in jeopardy, it is reported. Con-
vick's fire fighting apparatus proved
far inadequate to control such FIRE
The Gonvick Trading company
store. owned by the Bagley Mercan-
tile company, was totally destroyed,
as was also the offices and printing:
shop Of the Gonvick Banner, in the
building adjoining the store. w. W.
Jones, publisher Of the Banner, an
nounces that his paper will not miss
an issue as it will be printed in Clear
brook for the present. The Trading
company has not as yet announced its
future course.

Jones' families, whose homes were on
the second floor of the burned struc-
lures, were driven to the street thinly
clad Nothing whatever was saved
except the clothes in which they es-
capped.
This was by far the most disas-
trous fire in the history Of Gonvick.
The heat was so intense that it
scorched a building on the opposite
side of Second avenue and most all
of the windows were broken. Two
other buildings caught from the blaze
but the good work Of the fire depart
ment saved them from being destroy
ed.
The loss to the trading company is
estimated at 100000 with $l3,500
insurance, while the Banner suffered
loss Of approximately $4,000 with
ONLY $4,000 insurance.
