A gasoline stove in a little restaurant 00 I h c east side of the square took fire, aud for a while endangered the entire block. And at just about noon of stne duy, the old railroad hotel on 6tb sti eet caught fire in the roof again, but was saved by the railroad men before tbe fire department got into action. At 4:20 p. to, an alarm of fire brought the now excited people to the northwest corner of the squnre, and it was discovered that the stable io the rear of Hiram Lindley's house was on fire. In a few minutes after its diucovery the structure was a mass of flames, and the ice-bouse just south of it also caught fire and burnel to the ground. Some effective work was clone by citizens and firemen at this iSre, by wbiob tbe Lindley house and tbe building occupied by Mrs. Payne as a millinery store were saved. During tbe progress of the fire tbe wind, which bad been blowing from the southwest suddenly changed it the northwest and for a I ime it w:vs feared that t ie Progress block and uuesibly the Fee block would be burned. The fire was started by children who were playing in tbe hay with matches. Children muat be amustd, you kuow. Mr. Lindley'a iissura'uee was $200. At about 11 o'clock Wednesday night, Chas. MciPheeters, Jas. B. Clark and C'apt. Shoemaker, while on their way home, and when near the Seward four. dry, noticx-d a flickering light in H enry Alexander's grocery, May building, and on hurrying acrotss they saw thai a blasse was leaping np iu tbe southwest irorneL' of the room. Bursting the door open, it was found that a quantity of waste paper was burning, ia the vicinity of a gallon can of coal oil, and tbat r.he laths aad plastering were ignit ed. The fire was extinguished. Thu heat was so intense that the sroui and top of the can was melted on, and tee oil wou'd soon bave been ignited. The only explanation of tho origin of tbe tire t:t that a cigar stump rmgiu bave been accidentally dropped by some one previous o closing the MOM. Damage- f light.
