Flames Lay Waste the Little

MANY BUILDINGS BURNED
Loss Is Estimated at Over Half a
Million Dollars
Spread With Great Rapidity-OnIy Few
Buildings Left Standing

ARDMORE, I. r., April 19.-Yester.
largest and most prosperous city in the
Indian Territory. Early this morning the
greater portion of the city was wiped out
by fire and today $50 business houses,
among which were many two and three
story buildings, are a smoldering mass
of ruins. The aggregate loss entailed is
variously estimated at between $500, 900
and $780, 900, with the latter figures COM
ing nearer the correct amount. The in
surance foots up about one.third of the
loss.
The fire started at o'clock this morn
ing in the large livery barn of Harper 81
Cecil on Caddo street. 1t spread with
marvellous rapidity and within less than
an hours time nearly every business
house on the street was in ruins. The
city has no fire company nor water WORKS,
but the whole male population turned out
and fought the flames. 1t was soon APP
parent the business portion was doomed
and efforts were directed toward saving
the residence section.
The men worked like beavers and at 6
o clock this morning had gotten the
flames under control and held them with
in the down town limits. Two large brick
national bank buildings and three other
business houses on Main street. east of
Caddo, and the postotfice is the only BUSH
ness section of the city left standing.
The scene of the disaster on Main street
is sad one and the loss will prove a de-
cided set back to the city.
Twenty-six livery horses we're roasted
alive. A man named Neu.a stranger who
was permitted to sleep in the barn, was
so badly burned that he cannot recover.
The cluse of the fire is not known. there
being various rumors as to it's origin,
but it was undoubtedly incendiary. The
large federal court building and Jail were
destroyed. Eight prisoners confined in
the latter were removed to the Baptist
church and placed under a heavy guard.
The principal losses aggregate $4,000;
insurance, $500
No accurate estimate can be given of
the many small establishments de-
stroyed nearly all of which were an en-
tire loss. The work of rebuilding on more
extensive plan will be commenced at
once. Outside aid will not be asked.

PARNELL'S MOTHER
The Aged Lady fleets With Very Serious
Mishap


Mishap
BORDENTOWN. n. j., April 19.-Mrs.
Della T. Parnell, mother of the late
Charles Stewart Parnell, who lives at
Ironside, overlooking the Delaware river,
near here, was found bleeding and I'M
conscious late last night by Charles
Casey, a son of farmer, who has charge
of the farm at Ironsdes, while descend
ing hill which marks the boundary on
the property formerly occupied by Mrs:
Parnell's father. Young Casey heard
means, and, hurrying to the spot, he
found Mrs. Parnell lying beside the fence
with her face covered with blood. By her
side were two small pieces of board
pieces of fence railing about three feet
long.
Help was obtained and she was carried
to the home of farmer Casey. Dr. w. IL.
Ships, who was hastily summoned, made
an examination and found that besides
several bruises about the face, the woman
was lacerated OIL the right side of the
head. Mrs. Parnell is unconscious, and
because of her advanced age her condi-
tion is regarded critical.
The authorities are unable to deter
mine whether she was assaulted or fell
and received the injuries. Her hand bag
was found alongside the railroad track
near by with her pocketbook missing and
papers scattered in all directions. This
circumstance tends to a theory that she
was brutaly assaulted and robbed Mrs.
Parnell frequently came to this place at
night and remained until a late hour.
She was here last night.
