Dr. Shipman's Residence Burned

The residence of Dr. Shipman, at Fourteenth and Locust streets was
nearly totally destroyed by fire at 10:30 o'clock this morning.  The
origin of the fire is not positively known, but it is supposed to have
caught from a chimney.  The fire department responded promptly to the
alarm and soon had two streams playing on the flames.  The strong wind
which was blowing at the time made the fire very difficult to get
under control.  The lost is estimated at $2,000, with an insurance of
$1,400, in the Western of Toronto.  A portion of the furniture was
saved in damaged condition.

March 27, 1894. Presumably the Plattsmouth, NE newspaper.
