Fl R14 AT CARGILL
The most disastrous fire .that evei
tisited Cargill broke out shortly after
5 o'clock Monday morning, with a
result that a portion of the business
section of the village has been co.ni-
pieteiy burned; with a loss- which wilt
probably exceed $6o,000. '.
The following "building were de-
stroyed or damaged: Joseph' D.
Schuett's furniture store and stock
destroyed, loss estimated at $40,000;
Anthony Kunkle & Sons' shoe store
and stock destroyed, loss $xo 000;
Royal Bank Building and fixtures
destroyed, loss $xo,000; A, Gregg's
restaurant; and confectionary, dam-
aged to the extent of about $2,000;
Power's Hotel,slightly damaged..
The fire is believed to have.'or-
iginated in .Kunkels' shoe store, which
spread rapidly to the adjoining build-
ings. 'It • was first discovered. by
Ralph. Kunkel, a member of the firm
who climbed out a window from an
apartment over the shop and succeed
cd in arousing • a number of others al-
so sleeping above the, burning build-
ings. Trapped"by flames and smoke,
they were forced to escape the' same
way. By this time the flames had
gained such headway that it was im
possible to save anything from the 14
block ®'
About 6 o'clock, despite the efRe
-
forts of the firemen, the flames con- a
tinned to spread, and it was. feared 14
that the entire village was doomed IN
to destruction. A call was sent tr
Walkerton for help, but before the ar-
rival of a .contingent from that town
of 28 men an hour later the local fire-
men had the blaze well under control.
Other buildings in the imniediate
vicinity and in danger of destruction
by fire were: Weber's hardware store,
postoffice, 13e11, Telephone Office,
Hunstein & Grey's store, W. M.
Cameron's store, Louise Schneitzler's
meat market and A. Hanneore's liv-
ery barn.
The occupants of the Iiving apart-
ments above the destroyed business
places were unable to save any cloth-
ing'. save what they were wearing
The losses,: which are heavy, are
fairly well covered by. insurance.
At present the owners of the burn-
ed buildings have made no plans for
.rebuilding. In the. •meantime the,
Royal Bank -has already secured, office
space, and will open for business as
,usual.
