FIVE BUSINESS BUILDINGS DE-
sTROYED BEFORE FLAMES
COULD BE CHECKED
At Least Two New Buildings To Be
Erected In Near Future To
Replace The Old

Oakley occurred last Monday night
and destroyed property to the value
The biggest fireiD the history Of
of about s45, 100000. The five build
ings consumed were on the south
side of Main street, and were in the
center of the block. 1t has not been
determined whether the fire began
in Speckman's Hardware store or
Koch's Central Market, and the
cause OF the blaze is profound mys-
terry.
The buildings burned were as
follows: Central Market, owned by
Koch & Sons, front, top and one side
totally destroyed; stock on one side
and in rear very little damaged
ball of twine hanging from ceiling
appeared to be unsinged; loss about
100000; insurance about $1,000.
Speckman's hardware store, totally
destroyed except room in rear; loss,
1000; insurance about 1000.
l.. d. Cowan building, containing
rooming house run by Mrs. Agnes
Turnbeau and bakery run by Tom
Poullos. The equipment Of the bak-
Grey was saved, but the furniture Of
the rooming house was a total loss.
1t is reported there was no insurance
on either the building or the furni-
ture. The Nelson & Lowe building,
vacant, partly insured. Clark Lees
building, containing restaurant,
and rooming house run by Mr.. Lee
and Pressing shop run by Allen
Bach. Most Of the furniture was
saved. There was $500 insurance
on the building.
The new siren began to Shrek at
about 1920 Monday night This
brought out the peope and provided
fighters to hold the fire in check.
Soon there were nearly a thousand
people among the fighters and spec
tators The new hose was hoisted
and the stream of water played on
the flames, but the quantity of wa
ter proved inadequate to stop the
confiagration. BY 10:45 the fire was
speading fast and the big light was
visible for many miles. By 1850 I
the heat became uncomfortable in
the center of the street, and by II it
was thought that the buildings on
the notrh side of the street were in
danger. Bucket brigades were form
ed and men with brooms swept from
the roofs sparks and burning en-
bers carried across the street. A driz
zle of rain assisted the fighters.
At 11:O4 theer was a cannonade
when ammunition in the hardware
store exploded.
Meanwhile, moving day was in
progress. The streets for several
blocks were Uttered with chairs,
tables, beds, stoves, talking ma
vegetables and groceries.
Between IL and 1, the fighters
were seen to be winning. There was
hard work yet for several hours, but
the progress of the invader had been
blocked
IL was IcpOitcu III iouilcy tude eii
Oakley would burn up, but they mis-
calculated the fighting qualities of
the Oakley people.
Mr.. Speckman and Koch & Sons
are planning to put up new buildings 6
Of thoroughly modern nature. Mr.
