Two Million Dollar Lots From Fire
In Sioux City.
8ioux City, Dec. 28. A fire, which
resulted in the death of one man, a
monetary loes roughly estimated at
$2,000,000, and the destruction of
nearly two whole blocks, started in
the basement of the Pelletier depart
ment store, in the Toy block, a six-
tory stone building at Fourth and
Jackson streets, at 8 o'clock tonight.
The district burned over lies in the cen
ter of the business portion of the city,
and among the buildings were several
of the moet substantial structures in
the city. In these buildings were lo
cated a large number of large stores
and several wholesale establishments
and three natinoal banks.
The fire started in the basement of
the store, but its cause is in doubt
The man killed was a tenant in the
Massachusetts block, who jumped from
the fifth story.
A large number of shoppers crowded
the Pelletier and other stores, and it
was with difficulty that all managed to
escape from the burning building. The
flames enveloped much of the building
before the fire department arrived, and
was quite beyond control. For three
hours and a half, until they had got
beyond range of the large buildings, the
flames carried everything in their path.
Both telegraph companies were put
out of business by reason of their w ires
ieing all burned out, and the office of
the Western Union was destroyed
