BURNING OF STRAW
STACKS ACROSS RIVER
EKCITED OUR PEOPLE
There was considerable excite
ment in the city last evening over
the appearance across the river
of what seemed to be a large fire,
and it was thought by many at
first that some of the buildings in
Pacific Junction were on fire, but
it later developed that the flames
were caused from three large
straw-stacks which had caught
fire. The lire lasted for several
hours and made a very impressive
sight, as from the higher points
in the city Ihe flames could be
seen quite distinctly.

And the Fire Boys Promptly Re
sponded and Did Their
Duty Manfully.
iwo lire uiarms iasi evening i
and early this mroning kept the'
citizens and members of the lire
department on Ihe go, and to
bo Hi alarms there was a large
outpouring of the citizens to as
sist in extinguishing the flames.
The first alarm was about 9
o'clock, and as the shop whistle
conveyed the intelligence that the
lire was localed at the Burlington
shops, there was an instant rush
for I bat place lo discover Ihe
local ton of Ihe lire. A steel car
containing some old lies had been
switched into the lower part of
the lumber ard, and as they were
very dry and oily, it is supposed
a spark from (lie engine started
the blaze, but it was discovered
before it had got, much of a start,
ami Ihe shop employes reaching
the scene, at once hitched on the
hose and quickly had the lire out
before the arrival of the carts
from tlii city lire department.
The loss was iml much, and it
was Ihe cause of greal relief lo
everyone when it was found that
the shop buildings were not af
fcclcd by the flames.
About ;i:.'t0, ;;s John Fil.patrick,
Ihe night merchants' special
police, was making his rounds he
nolioed a strong odor of smoke
in t ho "vicinity of the Hold Riley
and at once proceeded lo in
vesligale and found (lames just
breaking out in Ihe rear room of
Ihe l.orcnz meat market and
grocery on Norlh Sixth si reel.
The room where the lire broke out
is used for smoking meals and
Ihe preparing nf stock for the
meat market, and it is supposed
Ihe tire resulted from Ihe heat
from Ihe smoke house, where a
large quantity of bacon was be
ing prepared for use. The flames
spread very rapidly, and al
though Hit! lire alarm was given
at once by Mr. Fitzpalrick, Ihe
tire was under good headway when
Ihe hose carls arrived on Ihe
scene and three lines of hose
spread to play on Ihe (Ire. The
blaze was confined to the one
room by the able efforts of Ihe
department, and although the
wooden ceiling of the structure

was badly burned and charred,
Ihe steel roof on Ihe outside held
the flames from breaking out and
spreading to the roofs of the ad
joining buildings occupied by the
Streighl furniture store and Ihe
Nebraska Lighting company office.
In the room where the lire start
ed was a large gasoline engine,
and the wooden pulleys attached
to run Ihe different machines
were burned completely up and
some 300 pounds of bacon that
was in the smoking oven was
completely destroyed, being burn
ed lo a crisp. All the woodwork
in the room was burned so badly
that it will have to be replaced.
The fire was gotten under con
trol just in lime, as Ihe intense
heal had broken the glass in the
door leading into Ihe main slore
and would have given Ihe de
vouring flames a sweep inlo Ihis
room but for the efforts of the
fire department. The main room,
where the stock is kept, was not
damaged in Ihe least beyond be
ing smoked up. and the firm feels
very fortunate in having got I en
off so lucky, as had Ihe fire got
ten a good start it would probably
have swept, through the stores of
f.orenz Rrolhors, Slrcight &
Streight and Ihe Nebraska Light
ing company. It is estimated 'by
Messrs. f.orenz that I heir loss will
amount close to $500, which is
partly covered by insurance.
Publicly Thank the Firemen.
We desire lo take Ibis method
of publicly expressing our deep
appreciation of the splendid work
of the members of the fire de
arlment ami citizens in general,
who assisted in saving our build
ing and contents from destruction
from lire last night. Had it not
been for Ihe prompt, work of tin
fire boys our entire building would
have been desl roved, ami we feel
a deep debt of gratitude lo those
efficient men.

ARE COHERING THE
POOR HOUSE MATTER
The matter of the erecting of
a new building at the county farm
has been holding the attention of
the county commissioners for the
past week, and as soon as they
find where they are at on the
legal part of the question they
will take some action in the
matter. It is not known exactly
whether or not, in an emergency
such as the destruction of the
building has brought on, will al
low the commissioners to proceed
ahead with the work of erecting
a new and suitable place to keep
tin? county charges without hav
ing to submit the matter to a
vote of the people. The insurance
on the building was some $i,000,
and that is not enough lo get Ihe
building replaced, for although
under the law the commissioners
could expend $ 1,500 for building
purposes without the necessity of
a vote. The commissioners de
sire if possible lo make Ihe new
building a one-story affair, doing
away with the necessity of climb
ing up and down stairs, which is
very trying on the old people who
are compelled to make their home
I here. The building has been
looked over by a representative of
Hie firm of Fisher & Lawrie of
Omaha and plans will be submit
ted to the commissioners for a
new building'.
