LOSS AT NAHANT .$17,000 No Means of Combatting Flames at Hand and Structure Is Complete Loss. Fire last evening about 8 o'clock completely destroyed the new round house built by the Milwaukee road at Nahant, two miles west of Davenport, three years ago. The walls only were left standing. Five engines that were in the building were badly damaged The total loss is placed at $17,000. It is not known how the fire started. There was not much woodwork In the roundhouse, but it was soaked with oil, and when the flames were first noticed they were beyond control with the lim ited facilities at hand. The city water mains do not extend to Nahant and the water supply that the company has provided is not sufficient for fighting a serious fire. So there was nothing to do but attempt to save the nine en gines that were in their stalls when the fire began. Four of these were gotten out safely, but the others had all the woodwork burned oft and were otherwise damaged. The loss on the machines is placed at $5,000. Scut to Shop. Three of the engines were sent today to West Milwaukee to be repaired in the shops there, and the other two were started for Dubuque for a similar treat ment. Officers of the company today an nounced that the rebuilding of the roundhouse will be begun at once. Citizens Buy Garbage Cans.
