year it claims its victim One of these
boys perhaps the bravest of them may
be the next if they do not stay away
from it If tho boys must go bathing
they should go to the Elkhorn which is
a safe stream While one or two drown
in the Northfork almost every year

The millinery stock of Mrs 15 15
Mitcholl located in tho Mapes building
first door west of Booler Bros was to
tallv destroyed by fire at an early hour
this morning
At 2 oclock Perry Harrington who
was on duty as night watchman saw a
small bWo start near tho front of tho
store under tho counter on tho east side
Knowing that people wore sleeping in
tho store ho stopped for a moment to
nrouso thorn before giving the alarm
aud before he had left tho building the
fire had spread across tho wholo front
end of tho storo Tho flro department
responded promptly to the alarm but by
the time tho firemen were on tho
ground it soemed that it would bo im
possible to save either building or stock
The grocery storo of G M Thompson
islocatod iu tho same building only sep
arated from tho millinery storo by aono
inch board partition For a timo thoro
was good prospect that botli stocks
would bo totally destroyed but tho flro
men went to work with thoir accus
tomed energy aud intolligonco and by
well directed efforts succeeded iu pre
venting the lire from breaking through
tho partition except in a few places al
though tho boards of tho partition are
nearly all burned more than half through
At a few points tho lluxuos crept through
the partition and the Thompson stock is
damaged considerably by breakage
smoke and water When one views the
scene of the fire ho must give tho Nor
folk department credit for doing almost
superhuman work to prevont both stocks
aud the entire building from going
Tho boys had plenty of watorand a good
pressure to work with aud thoy accom
plished one of tho most effective victories
over fire which they now have to their
credit
Tho millinery stock was owned by
Mrs E E Mitchell who has been ab
sent in Iowa for a week on a visit Her
son-in-law H G Fleming aud his wife
were sleeping in tho room at tho rear of
tho store and tho young man says that
when they were awakouod by the
watchman they only had timo to par
tially dress before they were obliged to
escape on account of tho approaching
heat Fleming saved a pair of pants
coat undershirt aud shoes while his
wife fared a little better saviug a con
siderable portion of her clothing which
was where it could bo gathered up easily
iu thoir flight The stock is a total
wreck A stovo and some pieces of
kitchen furniture at the back end of the
building were not seriously injured
Fleming states that he does not know
just the value of his
stock but estimates that it was worth
about 1000 She carried 800 worth of
iusurauce on stock aud 150 on furniture
and fixtures iu agency of Clements ic
Ransom
The stock of G M Thompson was
damaged through breakage of glass aud
chiua smoke aud water to a serious ex
tent Mr Thompson said this morning
that he could not tell how great his loss
would be until open cases of goods are
tested to see how much they aro affected
by smoke but he placed an estimate of
the damage at 1000 to 1200 He
carries 1500 insurance
Burt Mapes owns tho double building
and carries an insurance of 2200 in the
agency of O B Durlaud The room
where the millinery stock was will have
to be practically rebuilt The plate
glass windows are gone a big hole is
burued through the ceiling the floor is
badly dnmaged and the walls are so
demoralized that thoy will have to be
wholly roplasterod It is probable that
the cost of putting the building in us
good condition ns it was last night will
be anywhere between 1000 to 1500
This is tho third millinery fire tlnit
has occurred in this city during tho past
year and as in both other cases the
manner in which it started is shrouded
in mystery Young Fleming states
that there had been no fire iu tho front
end of the room during tho day no
lamps were left burning after 10 oclock
last night and there were no old rags or
anything else to cause spontaneous com
bustion Asked as to his theory of tho
origin of the fire he stated that he had
uo idea how it started His story iu
regard to the abseuce of lighted lamps
is agreed with by the night watchman
who says that when lie first saw the
blaze through the window tho room
was iu darkness uutil the fire had
gained such headway that it lighted up
the surrouudiugs
