FARGO, N. D. Special Telegram
At 2:3O O'Clock Tuesday morning the
fire alarm called cut the department to
Third street north, in the vicinity known
as the Hollow" The fire was in the
building on the corner of Second avenue.
wherein Madame Massey presided.
When the department arrived the fire
had gained great headway and moth.
ing could be saved. There were half
dozen inmates in the building,
one OF whom it is not Ger.
tain escaped. Early in the night
he was in the condition known as "par
alyzed, being so drunk that he was un.
able to move.
1t is thought that the fire started
from the overturning of a lamp in the
kitchen. Officer Keefe, whose beat is
in that district, was the first outsider on
the spot. When he arrived he made a
hasty trip through all of the rooms on
the lower floor and dragged several
of the women out. The flames
spread so rapidly that moth
ing whatever could be saved.
It seemed as if the house was afire
from top to bottom as soon as the alarm
was turned in, and though the depart
ment were on the ground promptly, it
was seen that the building was doomed,
and efforts were made to cave the ad.
joining buildings. The flames leaped
high In the air. carrying great
clouds of sparks into the sky and scat
tering the fire to the surrounding
houses. Several times were roofs on
fire. but were quickly extinguished by
vigilant fighters. Fieroer and more
fierce grew the flames, spreading to the
houses adjoining. but quickly put out.
The inmates, clad in scant attire, were
running about the street crazed with ex.
citement and fear, their dusky, sin.
laden features covered with terror.
At O'Clock 9 general alarm, calling
ont the entire department, was sounded,
it being feared that the fire would surely
spread to the surrounding buildings.
Shortly after that the upper floor
Of the Massey building crashed in, and
after that the firemen gradually gained
control of the flames.
1t is stated that an orgie, such as is
allowed under the present city govern.
ment, was in progress most of the night,
the inmates being more or less intoxi.
Gated. When the fire broke out they
were all in bed and sleeping soundly
being drueged with liquor, and it was
with great danger that they were res
cued.
The man who overturned the lamp
was oolored and named William d avis
He was too much intoxicated to get out
of the room and he was burned.
After the fire was gotten under con.
troll at $3.50 O'Clock search was made and
Davis body was taken from the
room and removed to the undertaken.
It was horribly oharred, the flesh being
burned to crisp.
The house proved total loss, with it's
entire contents, the inmates losing
everything. The loss will be about
81, 800. and is partially insured.
