The building was atwo story frame owned by Fielding Childe. Two or three men went up to fight the flames but could do no thing. The wind soon whipped the blaze into a conflagration and a few miuutes later the Trout Hotel was burni: g. The Child's building was near the center of the block and the fire was extending in both directions. There was a tower on the tank house and from it the brands blew to the Duck hotel. They found lodge- ment in the north wing and the hand- some structure was at o-ce a wass of flames. A perfect deluge of eparks® and pieces of burning timber flew over the railroad track. They fell in a shower on the depot, but for a time it wag believed that building would resist the rain of fire. Theroof was painted with ironclad paint and heavily sanded which would ordin arily bave rendered it almost fire proof., While the crowd was watching the depot, Anderson's livery barn to the east of the track began to burn and was almost cousumed before the flames took hold of the depot baild- ii D, The fire had grown general; dwelling after dwelling to the north of the Duck property aud east of the railroad had bavken into flames, and the air was literally filled with fire ashes aud smoke The brands were blown half a mileor more and not content with feasting on the town the fire was carrying its ravages to the coyntry. The 2,000 acre meadow known as the See tract was burning and the fire was lapping everything | before it in the race to the Osage river. At ous time there were more than} 20 houses in full blaze while the blackened remuants of others were sinking ixto piles of fiery debris which now and then, under fierce gusts of wind blazed up viciously from the ashes. In all there were 29 houses burn- ed. Most of them were small dwell- ing houses which would range from $200 to $750. Exclusive of the household yzoods Harry Duck, who visited Scnell City in the evening, estimated the loss at} $30,000. Other conservative gentle | men say that the estimate is not far| wrong The total insurance will not | exceed $9,000.
