I' M MIKUS FIR J, IN SIOIV
A diinstrous fire which biokc out
shortly after 1 p. m. on Saturday
afternoon in the Oscar Kuff store pn
Fourth stroot in SlouJe City, w8 the
cause of the most appalling loss of
lifo yet experienced thoro.
How the fire originated is not yot
definitely known, two theories being
put forward one,, which is contra
dicted, being that n floor which was
boing lowered in tho Ruff Drug store
"got away" from tho mun mnnipuln
tilif it nnd fell on somo chemicals,
causing- an explosion which started n
fire, -irid tho other that tho luiildltig,
the Ruff drug store, which was boing
remodeled, caved in. An inquiry In
to the matter will be held find if
anyone enn ai proved cilpabiy neg
ligent, justice will no doubt he
promptly motcd out.
The building and rooms dust rayed
or dnmnged by the fire wore: Os
car Ruff drug store, Chain Grocery,
Benuinont-Braunger Market Co., Mrs.
Hester C. English, photographer, Jo
soph Schiller Fruit store, Wilcox
Studio, Kilgoro-Moynard & Mulhol
land shoe storo, and Bonj. Courshon,
city physician.
The people working in olfices and
room ovor those appeared- to have
boon dropped right Into tho heart of
tho wreckage with no clinnco of es
cape from the llro which immediate
ly broko out.
The known dond at tho time this
is written number thirty-nine, with
unfortunately, all probability of the
total being incronsed as several peo
ple vet remain unaccounted for.
An enormous crowd thronged tho
streets and alleys during Saturday
and Sunday and a constant stream of
autoes was on tho roud from the
country n, md nbout horo to visit the
scene of the calamity. Tiie vol
umes of heavy black and yellow
smoke rising liko billows high into
tho sky warned farmers working in
far distnnt fields in Nebrnskn that
something unusual , s happening,
and ninny of thorn i-j't their work
and anxiously hurried to the scene
for somo of their families wero in
tho city."
Had n high wind been blowing the
damage by fire undoubtedly would
have beon far more extensive. The
store occupied by Davidson Bros.
wai promptly closed as wero nceral
other establishments.
Tho only persons so far known to
have been victims of the conflgrn
tion were: Roy Ostrander, of Cor
rectionville, who formerly lived on a
farm south of town hero; Mrs. Mar
ion Caylor and Helen Cay lor, of
South Sioux City and Gretchen Ham
mond of Omaha, a visitor in the Cny
lor homo; Mrs. Hester C. English.
who ran the Do Luxe studio and vvho,
was well known around hero.
Among tho many who rendered
valuable help wns noticed Elmer
Smith, whu for many years lived
here. He was observed working val
iantly on tho roof of one of the
buildings. In tho evening the city
authorities summoned the militia
to assist tho police in handling tho
e'( wds.
Tho Sioux City Journal and the
Sioux City Tribune issued hourly
special editions which gavo the
crowds much reliable information
and confirmed or did nway with tho
nuinborless rumors or false reports
in circulation.
Dnkota Citinns one nnd all extend
to their neighboring citv tho deep
estBympathy nnd to $lu relatives of
the loved ones lost is offered a hem t
felt hope that they will bear bravely
tho terrible burden of sorrow s'n
suddenly inflicted upon them. We-
thcir nearest neighbor share their
grief for it is almost a personal ono
with us.
