The barn where the fice originated was un occupied, as was also the building on the corner adjacent. A small building, also unoccupied, between the barn and Cook’s blacksmith shot, was fuel for the flames, which leaped to Cook’s shop, and from there toAlbert Weik’s wagon aad carriage shop. Tom Lee’s livery barn came next, along with the har- ness and eaddlery shop of Fred Pfitzenmaer. The entire block was ablaze at once, and the heat was intense. The flames next attacked the Jake Sherrick’s second hand store, Cady’s blacksmith shop, Her- man Schwamb’s wagon shop, an- other blacksmitn shop owned by Mr. Cook, and a ware room at the rear of the S. B_ Cole’s implement store. Allofthe property was de- stroyed, ard it was only by the heroic efforts of the fire company, assisted by our citizens, that the flames were stayed from doing still furcher damage.

No idea is had as to who or what heis. He did not tamper with the postoffice safe or any of the letters.
