CRIPPLE CREEK SWEPT By FIRE.

preat Mining Camp Nearly Destroyed
Through n Courtesan's Anger.
CRIPPLE CREEK. Colo, April 27.-An an
cry courtesan threw lamp ut her lover,
and s1,0OO,O00 worth of property was de-
stroyed In three hours. The lamp hit the
stove, igniting the oil and setting fire to the
furniture. In few minutes the building
was in flames. This was Coughs dance
hall on Myers avenue near Third street.
In very short time the djoining build
ings had caught despite the efforts of the
fire department. 1t soon became evident
that the confiagration was to be big one.
but no one thought it would reach such
an area. Every minute added fury to the
flames The heat became so intense that
buildings on the north side of Meyers
street took fire. Then 1t was that 90
oupants of stores and Offices saw the true
danger and began to make preparations
to save their possessions.
Every wagon in town was pressed into
service and goods were hauled away.
Not aventh part OF the goods were saved.
BY the time the postofllcc had caught It
became evident that the only way to stop
the progress of the fire was to blow up the
buildings with dynamite. This was done
under the supervision of tho flremen and
number of buildings had to be sacri-
feed before the fire had reached them
The fire started about o'clock D. m. and
by p. IN. it had demolished the blocks,
except a few buildings, between Third and
Fifth streets on Meyers, and between
Third and Fifth streets on Bennett stop
ping close OF the New Midland depot and
warehouse, between Third and Fifth on
Carr Nearly all the buildings between
Third and Fifth on Eaton were destroyed.
The burnt district is TO DO rebuilt at
once with brick and stone buildings The
property on Meyers avenue was occupied
I'm the most part by demi-monde and
saloons. The two variety theatres, Topic
and Hollangs, were there, and innumer-
able dance halls. Several accidents OF
a minor character occurred, but none was
fatal Grace Clifton was badly burned
about the face and hands. j. Anderson,
while placing a charge of dynamite under
the Sisters hospital to blow 1t up, had
leg torn off by q premature explosion.
The postoffice, on Bennett avenue, is q
total wreck, only the vault standing.
Twenty thousand letters and thousands
of packages were destroyed.
The total insurance will reach about
$3.50, 00O

five buildings have been put up, c1ie work
