MIDNIGHT
CONFEDERATION
The Handsome New Depot
at AIamogordo Partially
Destroyed by Fire.
LOSS is NOT KNOWN
But is Fully Covered by Insurance
1t Is Thought That an Electric
Light Wire Caused the Fire,
Which Started in the North End
of the Building.

The handsome station OF the FL Paso
and Northeastern railroad which was
erected q short time ago at Alamogor-
do, at q cost of over SIS 900, was prsc-
tically destroyed by fire last night
shortly after midnight.
When the alarm was given the fire
had gained considerable Roadway, and
through the efforts of the citizens of
the town, who turned out en- masse to
fight the flames, the building was saved
from total destruction.
The direct origin of the fire, (which
started in the north end of the building
in the tower, is not exactly known, but
1t Is believed that it was caused by an
electric light wire.
The building was 12O feet long, fifty
feet wide, with splendid piazza of Is
to 20 feet wide, 'all finished IN Texas
pine on the first floor and sand finish
plaster on the second floor.
The fire started in the north end of
the building and spread rapidly and
before she flames had been finally ex-
tinguished over One-third had gone up
in smoke. -
The ground floor was occupied by the
local offices of the company and the
second floor was occupied by the gene
raj Offices of the road where were kept
all the records. While many of these
were saved it is believed that many
important ones were burned.
The fire company rendered valuable
assistance and soon after arriving at
the scene of the coz flagration, had
steady stream of water playing on the
fire with 100 pounds fire pressure.
General Manager j. A. Eddy WAS
seen at the offices of the company in
this city this morning and said: "Tc e
depot will be Immediately rebuilt the
came. as it was before"
The actual loss to the building and
contents is not known, but it is fully
