An alarm was given, and the fire department turned out at once, but notwithstanding the fact that its members worked as they never did before, the fire soon spread until six buildings were destroyed. Following Fol-lowing are the losers: North of Otten- aeimer-s Albert McKenzie's fruit store $1,000; James & Gooding's butcher shop, $2,000; A Adams' new iurmture store (not yet stocked), $1,200-Fitzsimmon's $1,200-Fitzsimmon's saloon (the furniture nearly near-ly all saved), $1,000. South-Jake Ottenheimer's saloon, $1,500; Lockmin's butcher shop (damaged), $400; total loss, about $7,100, of which one-half is covered by insurance. The fire lasted about two hours, and would have been much more disastrous but for the intelligent intelli-gent energy of the fire jakies. One-half of the houses destroyed belonged to Messrs.Gillette, of Ketchum. and McKav of Salt Lake. They will doubtless be rebuilt. re-built. As this is the second time within a few months that Mr. Adams has been burned out, he may not care to rebuild." 1 " ' |
