upsetting of a kerosene lamp in the

OF terror and death. The house was

One hundred and fifty people slept
soundly when the cry of fire was raised.
The flames communicated to the floors
above through convenient air shafts.
The scene was n of wild confusion, and
q panic ensued. The frightened ten
ants took to the fire escape and they
were given shelter by their neighbors
while the fremen were fighting the
flames. This was not an easy task, as
the upper stories and roof were ablaze,
and the flames had spread to No. 4O6.
Relnforcements were summoned and the
fire was quickly snbdued. About $780,

persisted in the flames. They were all
in the northwest wing of the building,
where the fire originated. The infirmar:y
was two miles from the city and there
were nc facilities there for extinguishing
the flames. Considerable delay was ex,.
perlenced in getting water on the fire
Two engines went out from this city,
but on the arrival of the fremen found
the building q mass of fire. The follow
ing is a list of those burned to death:

$4,000. The amount of insurance can
not be ascertained tonight.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by a defective hue. The nearest
supply OF water was in a creek a quarter
of a mile from the institution. While
the hose was being laid a large crowd
gathered and worked hard to rescue the
inmates. All were gotten out except the
five above named. They were IN the in.
