Instructions Concerning the Use Of the

Commencing last Monday Rockford
Library, which has heon maintained
for the past 30 years by the Rockford
Library and Reading Room Asso.
citation, will be known and operated as
the Rockford Branch of tho Whining
ton Institute FREQ Library. Heretofore
people not employed BY the Joseph
Bancroft S Sons Co. felt that il was
not intended for them, aud 50 have not
availed themselves OF tho privileges Of
the library, which we're really theirs
for the asking. This effect being oh
served and depored. the Rockford
Library Association has turned over
the management of the library to the
Institute Free Library. The Joseph
Bancroft Il Sons Co will continue
their support as before. AS brapch
of the Institute Free Library it will
be entirely FREQ to all the community
lying west of the b. ~ 0. tracks; and
il is hoped that many in that section
OF the city who have found the dis
tance a barrier TO their use of the In
stitue Library, will avail themselves of
it's privileges to tho fullest extent.
People living west of tho b. e. D.

privilege OF borrowing books at the
branch, either at the branch or at the
central library. To such applicants,
duly certified and guaranteed, will be
issued borrowers card good at the
central for three years from date OF
issue, and if so stamped across the
face. good also at the Rockford Branch
until May lst, 1897. Holders of such
cards may draw books from other
library at their pleasure, but not from
both at the Same time. Those living
west of the B. & .. tracks, who are
already card holders at the central
library, may, by presenting their cards
there for stamping, secure tho privilege
of using the branch without making
other application.
Patrons Of the branch may also draw
books from tho central library through
tho branch. Such requests may be left
with tho attendant in charge at any
timn, and So far as the books requested
are on the shelves of the central library,
viii bs filed the following day.
Except as above indicated the same
rules and regulations that govern the
central library will apply to the branch.

CRIPPLE CREEKS HORROR
The Destruction Caused by Wednesdays
Calamity Terrible.
NUMBER KILLED NOT KNOWN
Many of the People Homeless
and Destitute.

Cripple Creek, Col, April 30. The
business portion OF this town was al.
stroyed by fire Wednesday. Like the
contlagration of Saturday, IL was the
work of incondiaries.
While the fire was raging here
special trains were run from Victor and
Gillette to bring in miners with sticks
OF dynamite ready TO use whore there
was any call for them.
The Palace Hotel CONTAINING 100
rooms, was ous of the iirEt places at.
tackled with dynamite and from the re-
suits IT would appear that no warning
was given OF the impending explosion.
When the walls tottered IN response TO
tho tremendous charges of giant power
the air was filled with shrieks Of dying
mon who had been caught in their
rooms and dragged down in the wreck.
Before the wreclscrs could offer aid they
were driven back by the flames that
wero rolling over the slto of the hotel,
The dynamitors fled to save their own
lives and tho loss Of life at the Palace
is merely matter of conjecture.
The Bimerallic Bank and the First
National burned like they were made
of paper. The First National, while
it was. the leading bank of the district,
was without proper facilities for hold
ing the Sl50, 600 or more of deposits
that were intrusted to it. Since the pre-
preceding fire the bank had temporary
quarters in the new burned district,
where there were no vault accommoda-
tions. 10 add to the apprehension of
the stockholders and depositors the ex-
plosion of the dynamite leaves nothing
to be recovered from the ruins.
Nolun tanra npat utina fbA,,t r,,,;Jou
or reason are credited with blowing up
the buildings After tho explosion at
the Palace Hotel the crowd that had
followed the fire paused for moment
and the people began to grow vehement
in their denunciations OF the dyna-
miters and there were several warm
encounters between disputants. While
riot was impending the flames worked
towards the crowds that blocked Ben
nett avenue and the advantage gained
by the destruction of the hotel was lost
by not removing the debris.
Thousands of homeless people shivered
about tho camp fires or wandered about
the ruins throughout the night. The
cold was severe and toward morning
snow began to fall.
A company of tho Colorado National
Guard is on duty in the unburned dis
trict. Many arrests have been made in
the outside district. resort to which
has been made by tho vagrant element
which lately infested Cripple Creek.
| A rumor ia in circulation that man
was seen in the act of setting fire to a
dwelling on Capitol Hill and was shot
| by resident, just as fire bug WAS
shot and killed by Floyd Thompson yes
terday afternoon.
Mayor Doyle of Victor has employed
two fire wardens for every business
| block in that city, it being rumored
that fire-bugs are in that town as we'll
as Cripple Creek.
A man who was caught in the act OF
firing the rear of the Newell Hardware
Co. q store is in Jail.
The total loss by Yesterdays fire ia
estimated at 81, 800, 600. The insurance
will probably foot up between s40O, 600
and $500, 0UO.
