Nicolass | destroyed that structure and was only preyented from licking up the double stofe of C. W. Klem, wholesale and retail dry goods, by the hard work of the fire- men. The buildings were new and as | nearly fireproof as it was possible jto | make them, and to this is attributed the fact that the fize spread no further. ‘The | loss on the Nicolass building, which was valpedsat $75,000, is total. The stock, val- ued at $35,000, is damaged by smoke and | water. The building adjoining the Nico- lass building to the west was empty, and | as the wind was in the other direction the less on that structure will not exceed $5000. The total loss will not be far from $200,000. Charles Abrams, assistant chief, fell from a lzdder while fighting the | lames and was badly injured.
