Fire broke out in the Smith build ing, a frame structure on Main street, occupied by McDonald's confectionery store, at an early hour Monday morn lng. The Are department responded quickly, and the flames were soon got ten under control. Beyond the partial destruction of the roof and a narrow strip of weather-boarding on the south side, the building was not seriously damaged. The cigar stock in the confectionery store was damaged by water, but the remainder of the stock was saved in good condition. The Are originated in the back room of the cigar store and was discovered at 2 a. m. The firemen responded to the alarm, but a fire-extinguisher be longing to Matthews & Madison's saloon was brought into use, and the city apparatus was not needed. Think ing the Are was out, the flremen took the hose-carts back to the City Hall, and Mr. McDonald, who sleeps in the building, returned to bed. About 4 :30 o'clock the Are broke out again, and this time the services of the Aremen were needed. Two heavy streams of water were turned on the flames, and after a few minutes hard work, the Are was extinguished. Mr. McDonald has moved his stock to the Kirkpatrick building, next door to Kerslake's furniture store, where he will open up for business. His loss was adjusted at $325 by the in surance company. The Smith build ing was damaged to the extent of probably $300. The ow ner, Mrs. M. E. Smith, is spending the winter in Los Angeles. Rev. D. J.
