GREAT LOSS OF LIFE
BY THE BURNING OF THE GUMRv
HOTEL, DENVER,
Battery Of Boilers in tho Basement Sup
posed to Have Blown Up-The Ruins
Burned Fiercely and Fjremen We're
Unable to Rescue the Imprisoned Un-
foPtunat01.

DENVER, Aug. 19.-The Gumry no
tel, 1875 to 1888 Lawrence street, was
wrecked by terrific explosion at 1870
a. m. The rear half Of the building, a
5-story brick and stone structure,
went down with q crash. The hotel
was crowded with guests. and at least
40 of them must have been killed, as
we'll as the entire force Of hotel en-
ployes, who were sleeping in the por'
ton of the building which fell. On
both sides of Lawrence, from Seven
teenth to Eighteenth streets, and on
Laramier, directly back of the hotel,
the plate glass windows of the business
houses were blown in and a number OF
pedestrians were injured by falling
glass. The fronts Of many buildings in
the vicinity were badly wrecked.
The Boilers Exploded.
The cause of the explosion is uncer-
tain, but it is supposed that the battery
of boilers in the hotel basement must
have exploded. The sound was heard
throughout the city, awakening people
a mile from the scene. A cloud OF
dust was thrown 1000 feet in the air.
During the height Of the excitement
a team ran away on Eighteenth street,
stampeding the great crowd OF spec
tators. A number of the people were
more or less injured by being trampled
on and falling in the broken glass
which covered the streets and side
walks in every direction.
Electric light wires dangling from
broken poles in the alley added fresh
peril to the firemen. One horse was
killed by coming in contact with live
wire. Two injured women had been
almost extricated from the ruins when
the flames approached SO close that
the rescuers had to abandon them for
their own safety.
Death List Is Fifty-six.
At $40 "a have been accounted for,
six being probably fatally injured and
the rest less seriously. Shortly before
the explosion occurred the night clerk
was heard to remark that 20 guests
were in the house. The list of servants
will not exceed 10, making possible
death list of 56.
Night Clerk Irwin is among the sur
vivors, though badly injured. He
states that there were 81 rooms in the
hotel, of which SO were occupied, some
of them by three persons. In the rear
portion, which is completely destroyed,
were 16 rooms, all of which were oc.
cupied.
The Gumry hotel was 5-story brick
with stone front, and was built about
six years ago. 1t was Of the better
kind of seconded hotels, catering
largely to transient family pat
ronage. Thus many ladies and
children were among the guests.
The building was built as the
Eden Musee by the widow of
General Tom Thumb and was so occu-
pied, later being remodeled for use as
a hotel. Gumry & Grenier have
owned the hotel for several years. Mr..
Gumry was a prominent contractor
and had done much of the work dur
the building of the state capitol. Mr..
Grenier acted in the capacity of man.

has commenced operati and will
bank at Brainerd 12O 100000 feet of
timber off the Il. b. Walker and
Walker & Akeley lands. The usual
number of small loggers will operate
all the way up to Leech lake, but
many OF then: are short of timber
and hauling at a great disadvantage,
owing to distance and the scattered
supply OF timber. In and around

these small operators will be very

railway will he run to it's capacity
and probably do as much or more
than last year. These two lines will
furnish the bulk of a j the logs to be

CHILD LOST AND FOUND.
The Little Girl Of Frank Long
Lost Monday Night-Ex- n

The people of this vicinity were
aroused early Tuesday morning by
the ringing Of the fire bells. and to the
large number who responded was
given the information that a child
had been lost in the woods east CT
the city, and searchers were wanted
to try and find her. III. Il
The lost>child was the four-year-
old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Long, who live on the j. H. Rhodes
farm, in the town of Bellevue. The
little girl was with her grandfather
who had been at Oak Ridge with. a
horse and buggy Monday after
noon, and was returning home by
the way of Peter Berke's farm and
the Platte river ford near the .utlet
OF Rice lake. They started for home
rather late and when they got In the
vicinity of Joseph Emmerson's farm
it was very dark, and the child b
gra ndfather, who ia quite old and
feeble. found that he was off the road.
He got out of the buggy to look for
the road. leaving the child in the rig.
and when he tried to return to the
buggy he found that he had lost
that also. He finally found a house
and got all the people in that
vicinity to look for the lost child and
the horse and buggy. but owing to
the intense darkness and the storm
their efforts We're without success.
The child was finally found by a
farmer at about 8 O'Clock Tuesday
morning, having been out all night
exposed to the severe storm and
weather over twelve hours. She
was standing beside a straw stack
where the horse had wandered to-,
and had evidently got out OF the
buggy unassisted. The farmer
heard her crying and discovered her
Just as a party Of searchcrs who had
found the buggy truck and were
following it, came up. She was

condition arises from an inability to

Both men were badly used up. Cable
