Fire Causes Heavy Lass at Listowel
Listowel, Sept 8. -One of th
most disasterous fires in c ie histor
of Listowel swept a considerable
part of the business section of this
town to -day, leaving damage estim-
ated between $50.000 and $60,000
in its wake. From 3.30 o'clock thi
afternoon until 6.30 o'clock this af
ternoon the local firefighters, assist
ed by the fire brigades of Stratford
Mitchell and Palmerston, fought th
flames and finally got them and
control.
But before the blaze was con
(jeered several places of business an
one residence fell victims to the fire
which started behind the butch.
shop 'of Mac Smith, on the south sid
of main street, and swept throu
the McDonald block and other store
to the laundry of Charlie Lee on th
east. The following is a summary
of thefire damage :
1. Stable and butcher shop o
e 1 Malcolm furniture factory is situat-
y ; ed just southwest of the are: swept
by the fire and it was reared that the
plant might catch fire. Any great
damage to the Malcolm plant, and
the resultant loss of employment to
s 'local workmen, wonld make the fire
. constantly playing upon the rialcolm
, plant, which was saved from any
, damage by the flames.
e The fire was first seen about
er 3 o'clock this afternoon, when
smoke was noticed issuing from a
stable in the rear of Smith's butcher
d shop. Quickly the alarm was sent to
the local fire brigade, which, under
✓ Assistant Chief Bamford, was soon
e on the job, Chief Wilson being out
gh of town. The flames however, spread
s !with incredible rapidity, and it was
e soon seen that the task was an im-
possible one for the local fire bri-
igade to control alone.
j 1 Calls were sent out to the Mit-

sponded with great promptness and

6. Red brick building owned by

stock destroyed.
7. Cement !building, owned by
Airs. H. Malconey, destroyed ; down-

joined the local brigade in what
1 proved to be a bitter struggle with
d the flames. '
(FLAMES SPECTACULAR.
For three hours the fire roared in
s spectacular fashion, while not only
y nearly all the people of Mitchell
. but spectators from all the sur-
rounding district watched the efforts
_ of the fire fighters and the pro -
1 gress of the blaze. Through the Mc-
Donald block is swept, then consum-
ed the Brown garage, the Maloney
building, the Caruso estate store and
. the chinese restaurant. At the west
1 of the restaurant a vacant lot separ-
ated the fire from the public library
and here the fire brigades halted the
flames.
During the fire spark• from the
burning buildings igniter the roof
of the Cartledge home, and it, a
frame building, was burned to the
ground, While unable to save the
building the occupant, together with
neighbors and firemen, managed to
get practically everything of value
Iout of the house before it was de-
stroyed.
The home of J. C. Hamilton, on
Main street west, also caught on fire
but the Plaines were extinguished be-
' fore any appreciable damage was
done.
A horse was destroyed when the
' Smith stable burned, but this was
the only casualty of the fire.
I The people of Listowel to -night
are grateful to the Stratford, Pal-
merston and Mitchell brigades for
their assistance in confining the fire
to the area which was burned, The
best efforts of the local brigade, un-
der the circumstances, might have
been Nivel to the heavy task, it is
felt, The local firemen who put up
a great battle themselves, are at one
with level residents in expressing
their appreciation of the valuable as-
sistance of the outside brigades.
Late to -night the ruins were still
smouldering, but are being cat•eful-
ly watched by members of the local
brigade, and no further outbr'eek is
expected. The cavae of the fire is
unknown but may have been Spon-
taneous combustion in the Smith
stable.

WHOLE TOWN THREATENED
All of the buildings destroyed,
with the exception of the Carledgo
residence are in the heart of the
Business section on the south side of
Main street across from the post of-
fice, While Listowel is saddened to•
night by the severity of tate toll ex.
acted by the flames, its citizens are
also thankful that, once started, tho
fire did not attack a greater portion
of the business section.
Several tines during the progress
of the blaze it .was felt that the
whole business sections of the town
teas in danger. Fertunntely the wind
was from the west or the drimege
might have been much greater,
As it was the whole town was in
