*Deloit experienced the worst fire in the history of the town yesterday afternoon when four buildings in the business section were totally destroyed and which threatened the destruction of all of the business houses. A strong northwest wind was blowing which carried the flames across the street and threatened the building in which the post office is located. All of the post office records, together with the mail and supplies were removed from this building and taken to the bank building a block away for fear of destruction. The fire demonstrated to the people of Deloit the necessity of a city water works system and the matter is now being agitated with every indication that favorable action will be taken.

The fire broke out about 2:30 o'clock in the hotel and was discovered by John Sachau, who noticed smoke curling up from the room. Mrs. Laura Noakes stopped at the hotel to see Mrs. Merrington and upon entering the building found it full of smoke. She rushed out into the street just as Mr. Sachau was giving the alarm. No one was in the hotel during this early part of the afternoon as Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Merrington, who conduct it, had gone to Denison in a car to make some purchases consequently the fire had made considerable headway before it was discovered. The three buildings adjoining the hotel were soon enveloped in flames, although every man, woman and child in the town were heroically working to save the property. Bucket brigades were formed and four nearby wells were pumped dry.

When it was apparent the whole town was in danger a telephone message was sent to Denison for help and the big fire truck from there, together with several firemen made a record run here and assisted materially in getting the blaze under control. The hotel building, which is owned by the Sachau estate, was partially covered by insurance and Mr. and Mrs. Merrington carried a policy of $1700 on their hotel equipment. While considerable furniture and bedding were removed from the building it was more or less damaged by smoke and water.

The son of Mr. and Mrs. Merrington lost $50 in currency, his summer's wages in the fire. All of the family's clothing was destroyed. The Robert McKim building which was rented by the Bloomer Cold Storage company of Council Bluffs for a cream station and operated by Earl Winans, was totally destroyed. The insurance on this building had run out so will be a total loss to the estate. Mr. Winans was able to remove most of his property from the building. The building just east of the hotel, owned by Geo. Landon, was destroyed and it is said the insurance on this property had also expired.

Fred Wieber, the barber, rented this property but a short time ago had moved his shop across the street and sublet a portion of the building for a pop corn stand. The Deloit Red Cross society used the building for some time as a work room but their material was moved out last week. The drug store, owned and operated by Harry Mauck, was the last building to catch fire. While his loss is considerable, much of his stock was removed. The building and stock were covered by insurance.

Mr. Mauck's Christmas stock arrived the first of the week and he was marking the goods when the fire broke out. Much of this stock was destroyed. This is the third time that Mr. Mauck has been burned out, twice before coming to Deloit. For a time it seemed that the True mercantile establishment, located at the east end of the block, would also catch on fire.

Fortunately there was a vacant lot between their building and the drug store or it might have been destroyed. About seven years ago Deloit experienced a similar fire when the hotel and drug store were destroyed but the fire yesterday did considerable more damage.

Much credit is due Harlow Mason, Arden Newcom, Robert Wieber, Ralph Beaman, Will Morrison and Andrew Bartman, who worked heroically carrying valuables from the building buildings. It is impossible at this time to give the actual loss, but it will no doubt run up into the thousands of dollars.
