The Milwaukee Fire Fiend
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 16.-Ben Tice,
heat clerk of the Newhall House,
makes the following statement bearing
on The origin of the fire Somebody
set the building on fire. Down near
the foot of the stairs leading from the
inside of the hotel to the barber shop,
| was little closet for kindline, separ-
| ated by only wooden partition from
the shaft of the elevator. The
| fire was set in that closet.
OF course it burned through the
partition into the hatchway before
| 1t went far enough in any other direc-
ton to be discovered. The inside Of
the haichway was saturated with oil
from the machinery. especially up to
the third and fourth stories. The
| flames, feeding on this oiled wood,
| rushed right , the hatchway, bursting
out on the third and fourth stories,
where first seen from the outside.
This burning of oiled wood all
the way up the hatchway
| made such dense smoke and
terrible heat that many of those who
escaped were burned by the heat, al
| though they did not come into contact
| with the fl ,mes. The fumes did not
reach me and yet you can see how l am
! fixed"
Here Tice he'd up both his arms above
the BID i'll which he lay. His hands
are so badly burned as to be useless for
the present and have to be kept
wrapped in bandages. and he is unable
to feed himself. His cheeks and eyes
are also badly burned, while his hair is
not even singed, showing the correcs-
ness Of his theory. Tice was asleep In
room in the sixth story when the fire
broke out.
