Almut 11 o'clock last Friday iiijflit tlie
cry of lire was raised and people hastily
dressing rushed to the scene. The flames
werj first seen in the rear of the build-
in;,' which was vacant except some farm
machinery which ;. H Turner had
tored therein and the Haines rapidly
spread from there to the builjine be-
mgin; to George Walker and it was
retty well envelop) in flames liefore
any one reached the place and it wa's so
hot that no one could enterihe building
to remove anv of the contents.
The llames spreaJ south as well as
north and when A. "I liiuing-artner wasj
aroused the building occupied by him as
a printing ollice r.nd residence was al
ready on lire. A portion of his oflioe
material and some of his household
effects were removed but ouito an
uiiount remained inside when the roof
md walls liegan to fall. The huildini
next south of that Iielonged to a firni in
Omaha anil was occupied as a grain and
feed store room by t iriswold & Mars
teller. A portion of the contents was
saved lielore the lire drove the workers
out. The last building on the row he-
ongeil to j. II. Bartell and was vacant,
laving lieen occupied by II. A. Priddy
until a short time ago.
When the people first gathered the
main work was needed to save the An
drews' building and it got extremely hot
and fire started a few times along the
cornice, but prompt work by those on
the roof saved it. The dying embers en-
ngered the Ranch Supply building but
iv wetting the roof that was saved.

new grain company lias commenced to

The heaviest light came when the Bar-
tell building fell in, for it permitted the
air to drive the tiro more freely and for a
few minutes it seemed impossible to pre-
ent the store building of 0. II. Turner
oin bursting into flame, but by haul
ind rapid work the buijding was saved
and soon the heat began to grow less and
lieople liegan to bi'eatiie easier.
Had the Andrews building or that ol
Turner gef uii lire there scarce Would
have been a building left of tlie town;
but fortunately there was but little wind
and by hard work and the use of plenty
of water the flames were confined to the
row of buildings in which it originated.
The loss as near, as car) lie estimated is
as follows: J. H. Bartell, f.iQQ, insured
f !"iO; tiriswold & Marsteller, bi, no in
surance; Llari; Andreesen if.suu: i. u.
Ttibbs $800, insured; George Walker

$100; A. I. Baunigartner, printing
material and household goods ijUTO,

the building in which the lire is
supposed to have started was owned by
a man living near Broken Bow.
W. E. Moore had his wheat stored in
one of the buildings but asit was in sacks
t was almost all saved. Q. 11. Turner

was on ins way nome lrom jiauvuie
with his race horses and when this side
of Van Tassell he saw the fire and turn
ing one horse loose he came to town at a
ery rapid gait.
John Warn proved himself to be a
pretty good stayer as he was in sonie of
the hottest places.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. A
number of tramps were put ofT the west
bound train that day and some think
that some of them were sleeping in one
of the buildings and accidently set some
ubbish on fire. That is the nearest to
reasonable theory that seems to be
advanced for there had been no one in
the buildings that is known of that
ould furnish any tsuise for a fire. It
would not have been very healthy for
any suspicious appearing person to have
been found in the vicinity.
Taken all in all the town is to be con
gratulated that it escaped as well as it
did and the lesson should teach all to be
more careful to keep all rubbish cleared
p and not allow any place for tramps to
get in. The authorities should tane
steps to see that fire traps are not al
lowed to exist and do all in their power
to lessen the danger of fire until some
means of protection can be obtained.

Sioux county land taken by Sewaul peo

party is expected here in a few weeks to

every one of the party were much better

they expected to be and the sight of the
thousands of acres of land yet subject to
homestead surprised them and thoy will

The lollowing is the. circular letter scut
out by the Acrnioter Co. the day of its re
cent great II re :
We never bet, but if we did bet, we
wouldn't hesitate to wager nickels to pea
nuts that every windmill company in this
country will have a lire a year from now,
since they know not what to do except to
do the thing we do. We had one tnis morn
ing, May 28th. The other fellows will think
it one of our schemes for getting away with
them. About a year from now the fact will
down on them that the burning out of the
upper stories of one of our enormous build
ings is what makes our windmills stem
storms that prostrate all others and causes
the Aermotor to run and do effective work
when all other windmills stand still for
want of wind.
These are the chronicles: A fire at 2 in
the morning. Extinguished at 4. Insurance
adjusted at 7 :30. Started up tne machinery
at 12:30 ia the lower stories of the building
that hod the top burned otf. All this oc
curred on Saturday. Monday, every de
portment working as usual, though not in
the old quarters. And there was no delay
to business.
The Aermotor rises to any occasion.
When on the tlrst of April it becanio appar
ent that its iX acres of floor space were not
enough, on aero more ot ground was cov
cred with brick buildings in 30 days, and a
part of those buildings wos occupied within
three weeks of the time it was decided to
build them. A lire costing a few thousand
dollars is hailed by every Aermotor em
ployee with o smiling countananec as af
fording an opportunity to show what he can
do. What caused tho lire is not known, but
ercrybody among our hundreds of Aermotor
workers has such an enormously rapid move
on him, made necessary by the enormous
demand for Aennotors that we should not
be surprised if it were due to the friction
caused by one of them in his herculean en
deavor to get out his portion of the work.
Wcdo not assert this to be tho fact. We
only assert that we liovc worked night and
day to supply the demand and that we have
the largest ami best equipped factory on
earth for that purpose, and wc now hasten
to assure you that the recent llro will cause
no delay.
l,C9t the thousands in need of Aennotors
should overwhelm us kill us with kindness
so to speak-by sending too many and too
large orders, all at once, us an expression
of appreciation of energy, enterprise and
pluck, we suggest that you send In yours at
once now and let others send theirs a little
later. Akrmotek Co.,
