Destruction of Several Blocks of Buildings
at Dallas, Tex.

at Dallas, Tex.
GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. GA special to the
Western Associated Press from Dallas says
At 11:30 this morning a fire was discovered
in the engine-room of the Texas Elevator and
Compress Company, an immense building,
occupying an entire square i'll the business
part of the city. For ifteen minutes the
flames burned fiercely in the boiler-room
when the iron roof fell in The fire then
rapidly spread to all parts of the building
In portion of the building used as a ware
house were stored 5000 bales of cotton, and
in very short time the whole thing was one
mass of flames
The large compress opposite the elevator
was ON fire at least fifty times, but was as
often extnguished. At o'clock the flames
leaped the walls of the warehouse on the
north side, crossed the avenue, and burned
an entire block, composed of the electric
light mandatory. a livery-stable, wagon
yard and grocery store. At Collier street it
crossed Lamar end burned three residences
and several small business houses.
At o'clock Mayor Cabell telegraphed to
Fort Worth for help and in little over an
hour they were here and at work. The fire
was got under control about O'Clock at
Follier street, having burned three and one
half blocks The wholesale grocery house of
Henry Loeb, which occupied one corner of
the elevator block, was by heroic efforts,
saved.
The loss is estimated at from $3.50, 900 to
$500, 000
A later dispatch says that the damaged cot
ton and debris of the fire is still burning, and
will continue so for a week. 1t is impossible
at present to form anything like correct
estimate OF the losses The adjustment will
probably consume months time. The total
amount of insurance, as far as known, is
1928, 900, the greater r,art of which is on cot
ton, so that the actual losses cannot be COM
puted until it is known whose cotton was

sumed, which, it is still thought, is about
