ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
_•
A Fire Early This Morning Causes a
Property Loss of Over $30,000.00.
Fire, of unknown origin, destroyed
over $30,000.00 worth of property in
this city at an early hour this morn
ing. Seth Noble, dealer in lumber and
coal, the Bazelman Lumber Co., and
H. M. Uttley were the heaviest losers.
The office, front sheds, including the
coal, cement, sash and door and
paint sheds were totally destroyed
and their contents burned. The rear
yard and its contents were saved.
Mr. Agnes, manager, estimates their
loss at $25,000.00. They carried $20,
000.00 insurance on the entire yard,
but at least two-thirds of their stock
was in the front yard, where they kept
all their finishing lumber, sash, doors,
paint, etc.
The building just north of the yard,
occupied by Lewis Chapman, county
attorney, and owned by the Bazelman
Lumber Co., was also destroyed.
The building was valued at $2,200 and
was insured for $1,500. Mr. Chapman
and Frank Lancaster, county agent,
who officed with Mr. Chapman, suc
ceeded in getting out their books and
office furniture. H. M. Uttley lived
upstairs and he only succeeded in get
ting out only a very little of their
furniture. He also lost his law
library, Which was one of the best in
this section. Mr. Uttley valued the
library at $3,000 and the furniture
at $1,000, so that he was a $4,000
sufferer by the fire. He carried no
insurance.
John Melvin, whose grocery store is
in the Golden block just south of the
lumber yard, suffered a loss from
smoke. The fire destroyed the window
sashes and windows, but was kept
from the interior of the building.
His loss is covered by insurance.
Mr. Golden also suffered a small loss
on the building.
The Nebraska Telephone Company
was also a sufferer from the fire and
the system has been put out of busi
ness. The terminal cable box was on a
pole on the corner near the lumber
yard and it was destroyed by fire,
thus putting the entire exchange out
of commission. Local employees say
that it will probably be a week before
the damage is repaired.
The Electric Light company was
also put out of business for the day, as
one of their main lead wires ran
through the alley south of the lumber
yard. They spent all day Thursday
making repairs and had the juice
turned on at 8:30 Thursday evening.
The fire was discovered at 5:45 by
Burlington employees while on their
way to work. By the time the alarm
was given and the fire department on
the scene the fire had gained such
headway, that for a time, it looked as
if the entire block would go up in
flames, but the department managed
to confine it to the lumber yard and the
building adjacent thereto on the north.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Those first on the scene say that the
fire apeared to be on the north side,
back from the front of the building.
The paint shed was on the north side
and if it started there it might have
been caused by spontaneous com
bustion. But some of those who
seen it early say that it was
about thirty feet back from the
front, which would be among the
