ST. I'.Mt , August 10. For the font tit
time in iUhistoiy the city of Anoka is firo-
Rtrickcn , and the entire business poition for
a HI corn ! time entiiely wiped out of existence.
The rum is widespread and extensive , and at
this time it is utterly impossible to more than
roughly appioxnnato the great loss , which h
placed bj the most conservative at 81,000,000
at least , 1'rom the Congreg ition.il church ,
at the corner of Main street and Third
avouuo , west to the river , and fiom Monroe
street north to Yan Biiron street is naught
but heaps of smoking ashes and b'ackencd
inins. Tlio alarm was given shortly after 2
oclock this niotning , and WAS prompt
ly answered by engitio company No. 1 ,
hosu companies No. 1 and 2 , and the
Imok and ladder company. Tlio cause of the
alaim was found to bo a fire in the skating
rink of Klimes & Yaiulervelde' , situated In the
rear of the postoflico nnd high school building1.
Although the department was quickly at
work , it was soon evident that tlio flamct
were beyond control , and that the adjoining
building must go , nnd in a few moments thu
lirick block in which thu postolHco was situ
ated was in llrune ? , followed almost , sim
ultaneously by the appearance of ( ire in thu
Ingh Bchool adjoining and in Dow dell Bros. '
tohtaurant. The llamcs communicated to tno
elegant new buck block belonging to II. TJ.
Ticknor , and from there across Second avenue )
to H. S. I'lummer's dry goods fctore , and across
Main Klrcot to a , row of wooden structure *
occupied by various branches of trade , anil
up Second avenue , taking several reaidences
and the Morchvnta , ' hotel and dnwnMaiii
strcdou the south side , destroying Plum
met's dry goodu ston ? , Cutter's dry goods
stow , Ticlmor .1 Co. , dtups ; Hynn , boots and
shoe-j , and so on until the liver barred its
course in this direction. While devastation
was being wrought in this direction appalling
flames loiped from a wooden building mi the
north udo of Main street and enveloped thu
hindsomosta'oly stiucturo lately erected by
W. D. Wnshburn , and in which
was sitiuted the Anok.a 1'iiat National
bank and the elegant Wa&hbmu opera
hous.0. The whole city seemed
abla/o nt once. Up and down both
