Fire at P4ndIeton.

\ Pendleton was visited by large fire
this morning. Tie fire started little
after IL O'Clock and several business
blocks were burnt. It is reported that
five persons were consumed in the fire.
Pendleton has undoubtedly been very
cautious in regard to fire protection, as
the following clipping from the East
Oregonian of yesterday will show:
On account of the reavy wind which
blew Tuesday afternoon and evening,
the city authorities kept the reservoir
full for use in case of fire. The water
used during this time was pumped di-
rectly into the mains, and to many it
seemed that the water had given ont.
In case fire had broken out, an enor-
nous quantity of water would have
been required. and the precautinn of re-
tanning the reservoir full was a wise one.

AN AWFUL HOLOCAUST.

Fifty Lives Thought to be Lost in a Hotel
 Disaster-Wreck Of the Gumry at Dem
 yer, CoI-The Work of Rescue Delayed
 and Retarded by Fear of CrumbIing
 WaIIs-Meanwhile Horror Is Added to
 the Scene by Fire.
 DENVER, Col, Aug. 19.-The Gumry hotel on Lawrence street, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, was completely demolished by an ex- plosion shortly after 12 o'clock this morning. It is not known positively that anyone was killed, but at this hour 6 a. m.) six or seven people are missing.
 The rear portion of the building, a flve-story brick, fall shortly after the explosion. The front wall is expected to go down at any instant, and this keeps the fremen from prosecuting the search for the missing from that part of the structure.
 The hotel, while not a large one, was well-flled with guests. The help of the hotel, which sleeps in the top floor in the rear portion of the build ing, are among those missing Win dow glass in all the buildings near the hotel was smashed to atoms, and in many cases the buildings were badly shaken up
 At 12:45 five persons had been taken out. They were guests, and were on the next to the top floor. They were not seriousy injured, as the floors sank, and were apparently not wrecked by the force of the explosion.
 All the fire department and police were at once summoned to the scene, and calls for reserves and ambulances followed in a short time.
 Two women were taken out about o'clock. They were seriously injured, and it is feared that several bones had been broken.
 The bodies of several more can be seen among the debris. in the rear of the building. The rescuers are mak- ing all efforts possible to reach them, but progress is retarded by the mass of iron and wood. intertwined among which are electric wires which add greatly to the danger
 The explosion was caused by the bursting of the boiler in the basement of the hotel. The lower floors were wrecked, and the entire mass caught fire, the flames shooting rapidly up through the remaining floors.
 s;15.-The fire is now under control, but the smoke hanging about the ruins is so dense that the fremen are unable to proceed with the search.
 Only fifteen of the people who are known to have been in the building at the time of the accident are accounted for at this hour. This will leave fifty who are supposed to be dead.
 Mr. McGlain and family arrived at the hotel at a late hour to- night from Huron, Kan. They occupied front rooms. Mir. MeClain thinks there were about sixty guests in the house. This with the help em- ployed on the premises will make seventy five persons in the building at the time of the explosion. The dead body of Mrs Trainer has been taken from the ruins.
