CARS ARE BURNED
1NOENDrARIEs GET HOLD OF THE
PROPERTY OF THE CIRCUS.
They Set Fire to the Animal Cars, and Be
fore Ala Could Reach the Scene Three
Of Them Were Burned to the Ground
A Tramp Named Archie Morrison had .
Very Narrow Escape From Being Burn
ed Alive. While Apparently Drunk -
Taken to the Hospital Various Theories
About the Blaze-Loss Not Known.


Three animal cars of the McMahan'
Circus company burned to the ground
last night and nothing but the prompt
action Of the fire department in sending
its chemical engine to the scene, saved
two more cars frvtn the same fate.
Five cars cf The train were switched
on the Rock Island spur above the
packing house where they have stood
ever since the circus returned from itE
seasons trip.
How the fire originated is not known
but there is superstition that it was a
case of incendiarism,. as it was well
known that some parties had grievance
against Mr.. McMahan.
Another theory is that the fire origin
ated from matches carried by common
tramp; who have been making the cars
a place of lodging for several weeks
back, they being filed with hay, making
a very pleasant and comfortable place to
sleep.
1t was about o'clock when the fire
was reported and as ii was first stated
that the blaze seen was a liquor train
belonging to Mahan Brothers, quite a
crowd went out to see IL and, doubtless,
to get little Christmas treat on the
side. When the report came that 1t was
McMahans circus train the interest be-
came additional, and a great many more
went out TO see it.
Still morefnteresti in the fire wasaroused
when the report came that three men
were burned 20 death. This was mis-
take. Only one man was injured and re
was brought to the city hospital lie
was either very drunk or very mucn
overcome by the smoke, as his condition
was such that he was not able to talk
He was burned badly about the face, out
whether fatally or otherwise was not
known. His name is Archie Morrlson
and that is all that is known OF him.
The loss measured in money is not
known; neither is the amount of the in
surance.
One of the men who was out at the fire
upon his return said: 81 believe some
body set the train on fire on purpose.
am satisfied that whoever did heard the
tramp's screams and pulled him out and
then ran away. The tramp was so eX-
cited that he ran blindly into lot OF dry
corn stalks and might have cremated
himself were it not for the fact that some
of the packing house employees came to
his assistance"
: Mr.. James Howard thought that the
fire originated from matches III the
pockets of the tramps who were sleeping
in the cars. He stated that such
thing can be easily done Internationally
Chief of Police Frank Burt took the
same view He thinks the tramps might
have been smoking in the cars and set
the hay on fire. He will, however, make
an investigation.
Mr.. McMahan is not in the city, hav-
ing been called to Chicago a few days.
None of the attaches of the circus could
be found from whom any information
could be CLEANED relative to the probable
loss or insurance.

The 6rst electric railroad in
Persia will be built from Trheran
to the summer resorts, about ten
miles to the north of the city,
where everybody lives during the
hot season. The summer on the
Persian plateau is very hot and
dry, and it is only in the neigh
borhood OF the mountains that
Europeans can stand the great
heat. Were 1T not for the resort
they would have to leave Teheran
for four months, of the year. The
ne v road is to be a trolley road,
and a concession for ninety years
has been granted to German con-
tractor, who will start the building
Of the road at once.
