The following from the Fremont Tribune of December tells of the
elevator loss the night ot the 19th:
Fire last night that brcko out shortly after 0:30 o'clock completely do
Ltroyed mammoth elevator B, of the Nye Schneider Fowler company, caus
ing a loBS of 200,000 bushels of wheat and corn and a total loss that will
run close to a third of a million dollars.
Thirty minutes after employes had left the building after their day's,,'
work, flames comemheed to burst forth near the top of the tall structure.
Rapidly they spread. At 7 o'clock the building reaembled a giant torch Il
luminating the city. The red glare was reflected on the white snow with a
wonderful brilliancy and afl of Fremont was so bright that it was almost
like day.
Firemen conducted a -fight In below tero temperature directed princi
pally toward saving nearby bulldlngB. The elevator, which burned like tin
der, was foredqpmed and water was not wasted upon it. Frank Fowler,
necretary and general manager of the company, said this morning that th
loss is fully covered by Insurance, amounting to about $300,000.
The heaviest loss was in grain. ' There wero stored in the plant 125,
000 bushels .of wheat, 60,000 bushels ot corn and 20,000 bushels of oats.
There will be some salvage of grain but the amount can not be determined
un'll the Are Is placed completely under control. The big heap of grain
and debris will smolder for days and weeks.
In addition to the loss incurred through the destruction of the grain
and building the compatiy la seriously handicapped through being deprived
of its storage and handling facilities in the mldat of the heavy shipping sea
son. The local plant was used for storing and cleaning the grain which tho
company buys at Its 100 stations throughout Nebraska and South Dakota.
It was modern In every respect'with the exception that it was not fireproof.
All the facilities for cleaning, drying, separating and otherwise preparing
train as it comes from the farmers' bins for shipment, were to be found In
It.
Last year a fire-proof drying plant was installed to handle the crop of
roft wheat and corn. This plant was in a brick building erected in the cen
ter of the main elevator and went through the fire without showing any
signs of crumbling under the terrific heat. A dust-collecting system was in
the course of intsallation.
The original elevator was erected In 1892, but has since been added to
and enlarged until it was one of the largest in the state outside of Omaha.
An expenditure of thousands ot dollars had been mode almost annually to
keep the plant at the high Btandard of efficiency demanded by the company's
business. It was a landmark on both the Union Pacific and Northwestern
main lines as it stood at the Junction of the two companies' right-of-ways
in the southeast part ot the city.
The fire which started In the top of the elevator shaft was discovered
by Night Watchman Charles Temple. He at once notified Superintendent
John Miller, who had left a few minutes before for his home.
Some headway was being made against the flames with the fire-fighting
apparatus of the elevator when the hose was cut in two by a large piece
cf sheet metal which fell from the side of the building. Before the fire
men arrived the flames were shooting through the roof of the main build
ing and hope of checking its spread was abandoned owing to the height of
the structure.
Firemen devoted their attention to caving the frame buildings sur
rounding the plant of the Fremont Brewing con puny which is located a
block south of the elevator. A shower of sparks, driven by the stiff north
wind, fell for blocks south of the burning building and it was necessary to
keep a stream of water playing continually on the roofs of the frame bulld
incs. The slate roof of the brewery building saved it from destruction.
Fremont. Nebr.. Dec. 24 Fire today, starting in the furnace room of
the Clark Drug company's building, caused damage in the heart of the city
to the extent of f 25,000. The drug store was gutted. Tho building was a
two-story brick between the Empress theatre and the Loo ml a Miller block.
Dr. "A. C. Agee was trapped in his office on the vpper floor. When
nearly suffocated from the smoke, a ladder was reached to him and he was
assisted to the 6treet.
Both buildings adjoining that of the drug company were damaged. The
building partially destroyed was owned by Mrs. John McDonald. Loss of
$10,000 on the building is covered by Insurance. Loss to the stock of the
Clark Drug compiny was $15,000. The company carried $8,500 Insurance.

Beatrice, Nebr., bee. 24 Hose company No. 1, one of the oldest val
