head by the Mayor, Justice -of. the
Peace, by the law offices of H. M.
Cate and R. N. Stafford ah'd by
Messrs. Glasscock and Lacy as a
bedroom. Everything on the up-
per floor was a complete and total
loss. The Monitob office was par-
tially covered by insurance, but
the law library and office furniture
ofH. )t> Catc, valued at $1500, and
the library and furniture of R. N.
Stafford was not insured and be-
came a dead loss. The flames
spread very rapidly and within an
hour after daylight the wooden
buildings on the east occupied by
I. 6. Bromberg, dry goods and
H. M. Pago, groceries, was in ashes.
The flames spread west and finally
reached the large house occupied
by N. S. Sodekeon & Co., and de-
stroyed that building and a Urge
portion of the stock. The build-
ings occupied by S. R. Bruce A Co.
and Hiram Apel belonged to B. F.
Read & Co. and were insured for
$6,000.00 and cost $8,200.00. Mr.
Sodekson owned his own building
and it was insured. The building
occupied by H. M. Page was the
property of C. H. Haines and was
insured for $750.00. The brick
wall of Lovio Denson's house ar-
rested the flames going south by a
mere scratch. Messrs. Denson,
Blassingame and Glenn, occupying
the three buildings immediately
south of H. M. Page, lost by re-
moving the goods into the street.
We team that all the vacant spaces
left by the fire will be rebuilt this
Hummer with handsome brick build>
ings. Bromberg, who by the way,
is one of our most enterprising busi-
ness men, will build a two-story
brick, mansard roof building on
his old corner. Mr. Haines will
build a brick and Ben Riead will
put up a handsome building on the
old stand: The merchants who
were burned out have all got new
quarters and are ready for the trade
