LAKu Ciry , April 22.-Probably the most disastrous fire that aver visited the state , swept through Lake City , beginning in the frame building on the Point Aided by a fierce gale the flames destroyed five solid squares of business buildings , leaving only three rows of buildings standing in the buiness portion of the tpwn. The loss is roughly put at $400,000 , and the insurance at $100,000. The lire started at a little before 2 o'c'ock- ' , and in loss than ono hour the worst had bcii done. Tim flames leaped from building to building , aoss streets andovcr tops like the water pours over Niagara. The fire department - ment worked nobly , but no human power could arrest the progress of the fire. The Red Wing engine came down on a special trainbutarrivod t. . late to be of much practical bent. The probability is that a large sum- ber of the buildings will not bb ra- placed , but those which are erected will be of a more solid character. The loss to this community cannot bo'over estimated , and nothing but the most combined efforts on the part of , citi- zonp can overcome it and place us whore we wore before. The greatest mystery about the affair is that although - though many of the burned buildings were occupied by families , not a lila was lost , and no cases of serious accidents - dents hare boon reported.
