In a few minutes the frame building was a mass of fitmes, and Mr. Andiew Gil- christ s tine brick residence to tho stuth took tire as will as the Strain Mock to' the north. This latter was % large three; storey frame block and wag soon a roaring furnace of /ire. From t Irs the fire at-, ticked Mr. RunatMdler's residence and j office which was also toUlly wiped ou'. , It required about two and a half. hours t > complete the distraction. Hun- j dreds of willing hinds saved the contents! of all these bailJings, although much destruction was wrought to fuimture and stock. The brick walls of Mr GilchrUt's residence are still standing intact, but the gioand where the others stood is a cinder covered waste The Strain block was occupied by W. H.
