born. Where at noon Monday not
sign of human habithtion existed there Is
now a city of 5000 people. Hundreds of
white tents CLEAN among the trees, the
sounds of the saw and hammer are heard,
and people are buying and selling. At an

a Mixed Crowd for "a Fact.
The 5000 people who had been waiting
week to get in on the town site were
gleeful. BY 10 o'clock horse men and foot
men stood three and five deep at all avail
able points of the east and west borders
of the town site. Few people had no.
ticed that the sky was overcast with
black clouds, and all were surprised when,
with a crash of thunder, rain began to
fall. For two hours it poured a perfect
deluge, and the water ran in streams.
Every one was drenched, yet not person
moved from the line. Men in broadcloth,
women in silks, cowboys, gamblers,
preachers, boomers, all stood and took
the rain. All were too eager for a home
or fortune to be moved by q mere
drenching.
The Break for the Main Street.
The plot showed that Manual avenue,
fronting on the public square and run
ming mile through the town and all on
the smooth backbone of the town site,
would be the main business street. For
it everybody was headed. The thick
woods did not hinder the horsemen, who,
as the signal was given, dashed at break
neck speed for the best lot they could get.
Jumping from their horses they would
jam stake into the ground and yell,
"This is my lot" while horses ran loose
pell-mell everywhere. The footmen, how
ever, in many instances got the best lots,
as the horses could not be stopped under
fifty feet. Many men were knocked from
their horses by tree limbs, while many
horses and men fell fat in the rush, yet
there was but one serious accident.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29-Fire broke out
yesterday afternoon in the building at 1856
North Delaware avenue, used by Phillips
g. Cunningham as u warehouse for lard
and oil, and which was full of those sub
stances. Before an hour had elapsed the
fire had gained such Roadway that a gen.

for two fire boats. The flames spread to

street and also to the Armour packing
house, the rag warehouse Of Jessup,

wool warehouse of Thomas Wilson. All
of these places were Quilted or badly dam
aged, and adjoining buildings were
scorched.
Several Firemen Injured.
The inhammable nature of the goods
stored in the buildings rendered the work
of the fremen extra hazardous, and by
the falling of the walls, caused by oil eX-
plosions aud in other ways, eight firemen
were hurt, but none seriously. A rough
estimate of the loss places it at $4,000,
with insurance for a little over half.

fell is all mine" Selling fast, at once the

three claimants, each contending that he
was there first. One contestant would
buy out another, while those who "got
