Dolly Mitchell, In n Dance Hall, Threw n
Lighted Lamp Mt Another woman-Re-
suit, $500 600 of Property Destroyed
Hard to Save Any of the Big Yukon Camp
SEATTLE. Nov. 14.-Dawson City the me-
tropolls Of the Klondike. was partly destroyed
by FIRE OF Oct. II. Passengers on the Cottage
City. which arrived here from Lynn Canal
ports tonight. tell the story. Four blocks were
burned over and some forty houses and bust
ness Iplaces were destroyed. The estimated
damage IL $500, 900.
The IRE originated In q saloon and was the
result Of a barroom fight between two dance
hall women. A short war OF words was fol-
lowed by Dolly Mitchell throwing q lighted
lamp at the head OF another girl. The latter
lodged the lamp. which foil on the greasy floor
and exploded. Almost instantly the dance hall
was In flames and the Green Tree saloon, with
which 1t was connected, was blazing.
Aheavy wind twas blowing down the Yukon
and the flames were pushed down Gordon
street with q rapidity that bafied the efforts OF
thousands OF men who filled the streets. The
fire started early In the evening, when Daw-
sons Tenderloin was going full blast. and
there was no lack of assistance In moving the
effects out OF the buildings In the doomed dis
trict. Some one remembered that the unpaid
for fire engine was in the North American
Transportation Company's warehouse. whore
II has been since its arrival from New York,
and a crowd hurrledly unlocked II and put it to-
gether. This took several hours, and by that
time the best part Of four blocks had been de-
stroyed.
There was no lack OF water or hose once the
engine was put In working order. and the nre
was finally stopped. 1t was due to the engine
alone that the town was saved, for with
out IL the big warehouse OF the T~ransporta-
tion Company would have been destroyed
and the greatest starvation stampede in
the history Of any mining camp would have en-
sued up the river. Dawson was very much
excited after the fire. A number OF persons
had been injured. some quite seriously, and
there were m~aEpharrow escapes from death.
Among the injured were Pete Mullln. G. O.
Ellis, Private Enfield Of the Northwest mounted
police. Constable Tipp. W. A. Jones. Dan Millen.

Dawson a few weeks before under similar cir
cumstances. Her paramount. Page. OF Seattle
disappeared while the fire was burning and
made good his escape down the river.
The estimate OF $500. 900 loss is conservative.
This is easily figured when the eommonest
kind Of a log cabin is worth $500. Many OF the
buildings destroyed were stores from which
the valuable stocks were not entirely removed.
