Fireman Badly Scorched.
The fire was so hot that several of the
firemen were bady scorched and one of thj
horses on hose wagon No. 1 was blistered.
Four lines of hose were laid in as quickly
as possible and everything done to prevent
the fire from spreading. Just as the first
stream was turned on a section of hose
burst and the water had to te shut down
while a new length was laid In.
Assistant chief Holland was In charge
and he saw at once upon his arrival that
ths main building could not be saved, so
he turned his attention to saving the ad-
Joining buildings. On the north was a
frame building belonging to the Jetter
Brewing company. This was ruined be
yond repair, but was insured. Next la the
blacksmith shop ot Charles Weber. The
flying embers set fire to the root of this
building and Weber will sustain a loss of
1300, having no Insurance. Acroaa the
street Is the Broadwell-Rlch coal yard and
office. The explosion of powder broke the
windows in the office of this building and
the flames scorched the front so badly that
It will have to be replaced. The Broadwell-
Rlch loss will amount to about (50. Tele
phone wires were thrown to the ground
by the burning of two or three poles and
telephone communication in this section
was temporarily cut off. Two motor poles
were badly burned and will have to be re
placed. The mill, which was a three-story
frame structure located at the rear of the
f..ed store. Is a total loss. A portion of
the walls are standing, but will have to be
tern down. Nothing la left of the stables.
In the main building there was a quantity
of haled hay and quite an amount of grain.
Mr. Morrill did not know Juot how much.
In the mill there was several tons of
ground feed. This was all lost. Mr. Mor
rill lost all ef his household goods and his

Three Hears' Hard Work.
It was d;30 o'clock before the last line ot
hose had been picked up and the companies
returned to their houses after three heurs
of hard work. One stream will be k pt
playing on the ruins for the rest of the
day.
Those who witnessed the fire give the
department a great deal of credit for the
work It did preventing the flaoies from
spreading beyond the buildings Immedi
ately adjoining.
Just after returning to the fire halls and
before the inn had an opportunity of
cleaning ur, in alarm from Armour's cime
In. The department made the run, but ths
alarm was false.
Until late last night Assistant Chief Hol
land kept a stream of water playing on the
for several days. After making a thorough
Investigation the firemen are still at sea
regarding the cause of the fire. Mrs. Mor
rill claims to know nothing about, the af
fair except that she got out of tho build
ing before the powder In the shell room ex
ploded. Captain Shields of the police force Is
complained abiut because he called his
men away from the fire to report for morn
ing roll call when they were needed. It
Is asserted that shortly after the building
fell, following the two explosions, men and
boys rushed In and stole a quantity of shells
and shot. When Acting Chief F.lsfelder
came on duty he was Informed that there
was no officer on the premises to protect
the property and he detailed a man at once
snd also went himself. A policeman la now
guarding the premises to see that the fit
tings In the mill are not disturbed and
that sncks of shot laying around loose are
not carried off. The firemen had. all they
could do to prevent the fire f -om spread
ing more than It did and consequently had
no time to act as policemen.
Only the letter plsce was Insured and
the loss will fill heavily on property own
ers, especially on Morrill. There was a
