this morning and the building was in
flames before the alarm was given. Those
of the guests who made their escape did
so by passing through fire ana smoke. and
had to grope their way along the Railways
to the steps. The night clerk reported that
he had aroused the guests. but the smell
of burning flesh about daylight told a diff
ferent story. About ! O'clock the body of
Pray was found. At II O'CLOCK the fremen
discovered the body of q. y. Mullison. who
appeared to have been suffocated. Letters
in his room show that he was from Mid
dletown. Orange county. New York. where
he has a brother living. Both bodies We're
burned beyond recognition. and are now
at the morgue awaiting advices from rel
atives. The Windsor building and adjoining

RUSSIAVILLE. Ind. Jan. 26.-For sew

in the price. The failure of wheat. oats and
rye, the price OF corn and the scourge Of
hog cholera that has prevailed in this sec
ton more or less for two years has caused
the farmers to direct their attention TO
capon raising once more. and as a result
the industry has been increased to it's old
time Importance. When the price was 1919

sands shipped from this point every year.

plugs and by the intense cold. The elevator

having been heavily damaged by fire. This,

completely destroyed. Vice President Jo-
seph Guckenheimer estimates the loss al
about $3.50. 600. which is mostly covered by

to tramps who have been building fires
in and around the freight cars near tho
elevator in order to keep warm.
Fire broke out to-day in the basement OF
the one-story brick building at No. 2i6-2is
