The. ifire started at the rear of the stable en the property of Mr. E., Heist afid when first noticed was only a small blaze. But the dry con- dition -of the frame buildings help- ed. to spread it rapidly, and it was soon out of control. 'Heist's bakery, dwelling apart- ments, sheds and stable were soon a mass of, flame'$ and at the 'height of the blaze, sparks ignited the flour and feed store of Mr. L. Schilbe and it, too, was an easy mark. • The butcher shop occupied by Yungblut & Son and owned by Mr. John 'Deichert, also fell a prey to the flames, but heroic work by. the fire brigades and hundreds of willing workers checked the fire. Sparks Spread Fire. . • At one time ten other buildings were blazing but the smoke was not- iced and the incipient blazes were ex- tinguished with buckets 'of water. People for miles were attracted' by the fire and all who could helped in checking the spread of the flames. The principal losers are .Mr. E. Haist,confectionery store, bakery, dwelling and sheds, a total loss. The contents of the confectionery and dwelling were saved. Mr. L. Schilbe, flour and feed store and dwelling apartments, a total loss. The contents eif the dwelling and the store were moved to safety. • Yungiblut &' Son, .lbutchers, saved the contents 'of the 'butcher shop, but the building they oce.ipied, owned by Mr. John .Deichert was a total loss. Mr. L. Prang's dwellintg, which was only a few feet from the butcher shop, was saved, but considerable damage was done by smoke and wa- ter and the furniture was damaged in moving it out of the house.
