Heavy Fire Loss at Norn.

Nome has suffered from a costly fire which started May 28 in a building at the corner of Stedman avenue and Flrat street and soon leaped across to the old court building. Later the Washington Trading company’s building and the Smllie-Campbell building caught. The fire department encountered great difficulty owing to the hose being filled with 100. Judge E. P. Ryan and his wife barely escaped with their Uvea. The total losses are placed at $126,659.
