What was the structure of the

tha-i a lot of dripping, charred tim
bers. Wednesday, shortly aivr
2:(X) P. M., the roof was seen ablaze
but the exact origin is not discern--
ihle. .Mr. Stark bad been making
extensive repairs and furnishings
t the buildinz and the worKmen
on the second floor cannot account
for it. The structure, being of
food burned readily and an ex
asperating delay in attaching the
hose'to the hydrants gave ample
time for the building to be wen

under blaze before a stream could
be poured on to it. Willing hands
assisted the Moore confectionary
store, the Kutch barber shop, the
Estes saloon. R. H- Knox's grocery
and Smith's saloon to move the
contenU to a place of safety.
Heroic service by the fire depart
ment retarded the spreading ot the
Barnes and eventually the fire was
completely Bmolhered.
It appears the building win
to te torn down before another

committal at this time, but there is
little doubt but what so choice a
building site will soon be the scene
of a better structure, we hope a
