           Great Fire At Green Bay.
           
           30 Buildings in Ashes
           
           A most destructive fire occurred at that place
         on Wednesday morning last, resulting in the destruction
         of nearly thirty business buildings. The fire was dis-
         covered in the back part of Harris' Jewelry store about
         3 o'clock, and furiously baffled all attempts to stay
         its progress until all (except four buildings) in the
         entire block were burned. The following are some of the
         losses:
           Harris' Jewelry store - saved principal part of the
         most valuable goods. Loss rather large.
           Kimball's Hardware store - saved only the tin-ware;
         stoves all burned. Loss heavy.
           U. S. Hotel, Col. Edgerton - saved most valuable
         furniture and house furnishing goods, many of which
         were afterwards stolen. Loss large.
           Frank Desnoyer lost three large buildings.
           Klaus lost his fine Hall and two other buildings,
         one of which was occupied by him for a Toy store.
         Loss great.
           The Post Office saved contents - building destroyed.
         Express Office ditto.
