LOSS OF PROPERTY A MILLION DOLLARS
Ruins and Score More In the Debris 1900 People Are Homeless.

Prescott, Ariz., Sept. ll.-The town of Jerome was completely destroyed by fire this morning, the attending loss being over $l.0OO,OO0 in property. So far eleven bodies have been recovered. while a score or more are said to be in the ruins or missing. The fire origi- mated from a gasoline stove in cabin and travelled so furiously and fierceiy that it was impossible to save even the clothing.
 The fire was confined exclusively to the business portion of the town and the open ground intervening between it and the mammoth works of the United Verde company. The latter's plant was saved, otherwise the loss and suffering would have been terrible. Many people from Jerome are arriving here on special trains, while those re- maining are being cared for by the company. The area of the fire was confined to a narrow gulch and ravines leading to it. in which were located substantial wooden and stone buildings, the latter melting rapidly before the flames.
 Over l5O residences, averaging in value S2,0OO, twenty-five general mer- chandise and other stores, saloons and stands of all kinds are wiped out: in short, not single business house re- mains.
 The only house to escape was the Methodist church. The number of

 Special trains left here tonight for the scene of disaster, carrying tents and other material comfort to the dis treSsed. and u meeting is being held here tonight to raise money for the needy, of whom there are many.
 The less is complete, but little in surance being written in that camp owing to the great risk and an inade- quate water supply. The United Verde management is now kindly caring for the sufferers until other arrangements are made.
 The place where the fire originated was the scene of drunken carOusal last night. and while no demonstration Is being made against the men who are responsible for il, when the horrors of the deed wear away from the victims attention will be given, it is stated, to the men who caused it. They are said to be Italians.
 Various parties are now endeavorng to extricate the remains from the ruins. and until the grounds cool sufficiently to permit rescuers to approach the debris, it will be impossible to ascer- tain the names of the victims. Several prominent mining men in the west are said to have been in town at the time and they are unaccOunted for. The fire started at : o'clock in the morning and spread with such rapidity that in less than two hours not d house in a radious that would cover five blocks was left standing. On the other side of the gulch hundreds of pounds of giant powder were used in an attempt to arrest the flames by demolishing the buildings, but eye witnesses state that as soon as the gap was made the shat tered buildinps were licked mn as if hy

Who Wants a DOG:

GUNNER, having plenty of spare time and
money, always has a fad. At one time or
another he has gone in for everything from
croQuet to literature yachting and ANA
teur theatricals included. This spring his
mind turned to dogs and his first invest
ment was one of 500 in a Great Dare Of
the heavyweight class
The other morning GUNNER started proud
~ forth to give his pet an airing The dog
wore spiked collar and a chain. to the
other end Of which the young man attached
himself He was dressed with care because
ne mad selected a route with special refer
ence TO attracting the attention of feminine
admirers. All went we'll until the most
fashionable part Of the walk was reached
GUNNER had his head well up and swung
his cane jauntily. The dog shuff1ed along
with the gait peculiar to his kind and
looked like tanned native of the jungles
Suddenly a cat dashed across the side
walk. The dog made a lunge and GUNNER
chung gamely to the chain. 1t was a
like quarter horse until GUNNER was
making 20 feet at leap and yelling pretty
names at the brute with a hope Of stopping
him. The cat took a tree and In the con-
fusion Of the chase the dog ran to one
side of the tree and his master to the other
GUNNER flew up against the trunk as
though he had been fired from a mortar
The Grain and bark lacerated his hand His
derby hat looked like the victim Of an in
ternal explosion, and the front of his
clothes was transferred to the side Merry
laughter f1oated from adjacent windows and
the dog sat on his launches baying at the
cat. GUNNER has put in three full days
trying to give his Great Dane to some one
