vator Company Fire

Fires in Mercer and Underwood
yesterday caused an estimated dam
age of 5000.
Absence Of wind and activities Of
the Turtke Lake fire department
helped confine q fire to two build
ings In Mercer yesterday morning.
A building housing the Mercer
Cash store and q butcher shop in
connection and the Mercer State
bank was destroyed by the fire and
q building occupied by the Farmers
Mercantile company was partially
burned. The loss is placed at $4,000.
Damage of $4,000 resulted last
night when fire Of unknown origin
broke out and destroyed the Finne-
man Grain Elevator building at I'm
derwood. Eleven thousand bushels Of
grain in the building burned.
Buildings Adjacent
The two buildings which burned at
Mercer were situated next to each
other. A bank and automobile agency
building across the street, though
threatened, did not catch fire.
Fire. believed to have started from
a defective furnace In the basement
Of the store, broke out about Z o'clock
and continued for three hours.
The Turtle Lake fire department
brought chemical engine into play
on the fire and saved the Farmers
Mercantile company from complete
destruction. Two hundred inhabitants
Of the city helped In fighting the fire.

well and placing wet blankets on the
roofs Of surrounding buildings.
The Mercer Cash store and butcher
shop were operated by Livingston
and Dakovna and the building was
owned by F. @. Freeberg, who is In
Minneapolis at present.
It is expected that the buildings
will be rebuilt In the near future.
Amount Of insurance carried Is UNI
determined. pending the return OF
Mr.. Freeberg.
Not Caused b. Stove
Fire III the Underwood elevator
started about II p. m, according to
r. A. Finneman, manager, who had
left the building at 6 p. m. Finne-
man said that no one was In the
building when the fire started as far
as he knew. Belief that q stove in
the office Of the building caused the
fire Is discounted by Mr.. Finneman,
who says that the office was the last
part Of the building to burn.
500 Line railroad cars near the
elevator were moved when the blaze
broke out.
Little could be done in the way Of
fighting the fire because 1t had gain
ed too much Roadway before being
noticed by passers-by. It was still
burning this morning. No other
buildings were near enough the
burning structure to be threatened.
according to Mr.. Zimmerman.
Finneman was uncertain as to the |
amount OF insurance carried on the
building.
