Fire broke out In Smith's saloon at. 3:30 this morning, and two hours later the whole business busi-ness portion of this town was a mass of ashes and smouldering ruins. The exact amounts of insurance car ried by the various sufferers cannot at this time be learned, but it is definitely defi-nitely known to have been comparatively compara-tively small, and the loss will aggregate aggre-gate at least $35,000 which la believed to be a very conservative estimate. A Losing Fight When the alarm waa elves the town was asleep, but the citizens quickly , responded to the call, and everything "possible for the saving of property and goods, with the appliances at band, waa dene. Nothing within the power of the Improvised fire brigade bad Hhe least effect on the progress of the fire, however, and although there was no wind, the Inflammable material of which the buildings destroyed de-stroyed waa built, proved a sufficient handicap for the Are fighters and building after building was consumed In spite of everything that could be done, till there was nothing left for the flames to feed Upon. Origin a Mystery. The origin of the fire Is a mystery. It is definitely known that it origin ated somewhere in the Smith saloon, but in what part of the building, or from hat cause, cannot be ascertained. ascer-tained. How many of those whoie property and business wan -'destroyed by the fre ! rebuilt is not known, but it was carried by both these places, though, it is said, that it was very slight compared to the loss. Large Tent Ordered. The Utah Timber Co. received a telephone call early this morning from J. M. Miller for a large tent, which was immediately shipped to him.

As details of the fire here thla morning become better bet-ter known, and notes are compared, it becomes evident that the fire was more disastrous than was at first supposed. sup-posed. Added to the list of houses destroyed is the rooming house and hotel, conducted con-ducted by Robinson and' Williams, and the residence of the Robinson and Elmer families. The Miller residence was not destroyed as at Urst reported. Mystery Cleared. The origin of the fire Is probably explained by the fact that there were known to be stored in the Smith -saloon about 15 gallons of gasolene, used to feed a lighting plant, the 'pipes of which extended to all parts of the. building. It is though that there was a leak in one of these pipes, and that the generating gas, consequent upon contact con-tact with the air. in some manner be r;:iiie limited, and that the fire foi ls said here that both the Miller store Mowed the explosion, which many r-and r-and the Thomas' restaurant will be' member to have beard, Just before rebuilt immediate!-.
