| + | [[14 Dec 1887]] [[Fires|Fire]] breaks out at 6 am in [[Charlie Can]]'s wash house opposite the office of the [[Yellowstone Journal]] on Main street. The Chinese residents were all asleep and the source was thought to be from a stove in the annex. The wind was strong from the west so the frame building six feet to the west, owned by Anderson, was unharmed. Sparks threatened the roofs of buildings across the street, but men used hoses attached to the steam pump to protect them from the roof of the YJ. The laundry was a complete loss, but its value was small, being quite old. Owned by [[Major Logan, erected in 1879, it was the public school in 1882 and has been rented to variety of businesses. The workers saved as much laundry as they could. | ||
