LOSS OF SIX LIVES.
Great Insane Asylum ut Nashville
Burned TO the Ground.

Burned TO the Ground.
The Central Insane asylum, seven
miles from Nashville, Tenn, is in
ruins, under which are the charred
bodies of half dozen inmates. while
in the outhouses are huddled those
who escaped from tho fire. The in.
mates who lost their lives wero In the
west wing OF tho building. They
were: j. o. Johns, j. Burt Dexter,
Blue Preston, John r. Kelly, w. II.
Beasley, b. +. Hollowell. A woman
inmate, whose name is unknown, was
drowned in small lake on the
grounds. Soon after the fire was dis
covered the alarm was given, and the
400 inmates OF the institution were
thrown into commoton. All were
rescued but six men who persisted.
The city was telephoned for ail, but
the chief of the fire department could
not be found, and his subordinates re-
fused to move without order. Finally
after two hours delay the chief was
found and he with two engines left for
the scene of the disaster. In the
meantime the west wing had collapsed
and the inmates made frantic by their
danger began to break from the guard
and scatter over the surrounding
country. The fire engines arrived on
the scene and in few minutes were
playing streams on the main building.
Previously a number OF inmates, ser.
wants and guards, with tho use Of
buckets, succeeded in holding the fire
in check until greater part OF the
untorfunates were rescued. A few
hours later the fire was under control
and the inmates comfortably housed,
1t is impossible to give any estimate
OF the loss, though it will be very
heavy. The building was fully in
sured.

DEATH OF JUDGE GRANT.
A Noted Pioneer, Settler and 5urist
Passes Away at Oakland.

Saturday, March 18th, the tele-
graph brought the intelligence of the
death at Oakland. California, of Judge
James Grant. an Iowan OF early days
and illustrious fame. Judge Grant
was born in North Carolina in 1912;
studied law, graduating at the best in
situations the state possessed and
came to the young west to get away
from slavery, which was odious to
to him. He stopped at Chicago when
there were only five hundred people in
that village and was resident and at
torney there from 1884 to 1913. He
gained notoriety there by giving an
other older attorney a thrashing in the
court room, and became speedily noted
as as advocate. He was appointed
prosecuting attorney for the northern
district of the state. Upon removal to
Davenport on leaving Chicago, he re-
sumed tho practice OF the law. He
was member OF the house OF represen-
tatives OF the fourth territorial assem-
bly,, elected in 1911. In 1916 he was
a member OF the first constitutional
convention OF the state and OF the sec.
ond, two years later. He drew the
bill OF rights in both conventions. He
was subsequently nominated by the
wings as prosecuting attorney in his
own district, though a Democrat, and
elected and confirmed. After the
adoption of the constitution he had
helped to frame in 1874 he became
judge of the district and held that
position many years. In 1851 he
took up the construction of the Rock
Island road and it was his energy and
wisdom and push that put it through
wnen it was done. He was the first
president OF the company aud made
the construction contract under which
it was built. lie was a delegate to
the democratic national convention at
Charleston in 1860 and candidate
for elector- large in 1888. He was
president OF the National Trotting as
sociation for term OF six years, and
in 1880 he opened the Grant smelter
at Leadville, Colorado, afterward re-
moved to Denver. He was the uncle
and educator of Ex-Governor j. B.
Grant, OF Colorado. He retired from
practice and connection with the law
several years ago and did little but
travel for pleasure and devote himself
TO his California estates. He had been
the leading lawyer OF the state in his
palmy days and had made large money.
