The fire started in the Mithoff build ing on the second fio<jr in the rear of the First National bank. The second, third and fourth floors were occupied as flats and something like 13 families reside there, hut all were rescued. The fire then spread into the stores of Krauss, Butler & Benham Co., the j largest carpet and rug dealers in Ohio, j In the rear of the store were stored ' thousands of dollars’ worth of mat tings and other highly inflammable material, and C ' fire went into this and destroyed it as so much tinder. Ten engines were put to work and were unable to get control of the flames, and every engine in the city was called out. The fire spread into the building ad. joining, occupied by the Wheeler gro cery. In this case it was almost im possible to cope with the flames as they were on the top floor and in the rear, away from high stand and alley along the Mithoff building. The firemen carried the hose into the fourth floor of the new First Na tional bank building and flooded the Mithoff and Wheeler buildings. Shortly after the flames had eaten their way to the front of the Mithoff building the firemen from No. 3 house entered and worked on the second floor. Suddenly there was an explo sion of gas, and the second floor went down. Firemen Durkin, Owens, Me- Avoy, Hermann and Freich were in jured, hut not seriously. The 5-story Mithoff buildig was com pletely gutted. The fire was next to the new 8-story First National bank building, but it escaped damage. INDIANS ARE CANNIBALS.
