DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN OSKALOOSA - SEVEN HOUSES DESTROYED! - At 2 o'clock on
Sunday morning a fire was discovered in the second story of the building on the
southeast corner of the Square, formerly occupied by the hardware store of F.S.
Palmer. The whole building was soon enveloped in flames. The fire was
communicated to the buildings on the west and was not subdued until they were
all destroyed from the corner to the "smoking divan" of Isaac Kalbach,
which is one door west of the central alley on the south side of the Square.
These buildings were all frame and were owned and estimated as follows: The two
story frame on the corner where the fire commenced was owned by the Oskaloosa
Branch of the State Bank, and was worth about $250. It was occupied only as it
was used occasionally by the Soldiers' Aid Society for the receiving and packing
sanitary goods. The next building was owned by M.T. Williams, Esq., and occupied
by the store of Mr. Wm. B. Street. Mr. Street saved nearly his entire stock. Mr.
Williams' loss was about $500. The next building belonged to Mr. A.S. Nichols,
and was occupied by Dixon & Wilson's saddler and harness shop. - The
contents were mostly saved. This building was worth about $350. The next was
owned by John White and occupied as a saloon by Morris Hayes. Mr. White's loss
is about $300. Mr. Hayes lost a few cans of oysters, a few gallons of cream ale,
and some other articles of not very great value. The next building, standing on
the corner of the alley, was owned by Lieut. J.D. Shannon, and occupied by the
grocery store of Phillip Hoffman. It was pulled down to prevent the future
spread of the flames. Shannon's loss is probably $150. The building on the
opposite side of the alley was also torn down. It belonged to Mrs. D. Trimpie
and was occupied by a small grocery of Thos. Cowan. Mrs. T.'s loss is about
$100. The total loss, according to these estimates, is $1950. The goods,
furniture, etc. were nearly all saved. The whole loss may be fairly estimated at
about $2,000. There was no insurance. The origin of the fire was not known. Some
supposed it was the work of an incendiary. - Others surmise that the second
story of the corner building, without the knowledge of the owners, has been
recently a place of resort for bad persons, male and female.
Fortunately, at the time the fire commenced, there was
but little wind, and what there was came from the South. Had the wind been high
or in any other direction, the damage must have been greatly increased. Citizens
were promptly on the ground after the alarm was given and used their best
efforts to prevent the spread of the flames. -- Oskaloosa Herald, Aug. 31
