church the flames reached and left

and across the street in front the new
placed paint withered from the heat.
Just how the fire started is mystery.
Although adjoining buildings were some
what damaged there is no doubt
but that it first kindled in the church.
Mrs. Z. Jewel was perhaps the first 10
see the flames. She occupied a suite of
rooms IN the Normandie, go Eddy street,
ana looking out OF the window saw the
flames reaching out from the church to-
ward the hotel She shouted an alarm
through the corridors of the hotel. whence
it was taken UP and carried down the
street. Officer Harry Hook heard the
shout and rang in the alarm. A few min
utes later Chief Sullivan arrived and or
dered second and third alarm turned
in. This brought the engines from outly
ing districts, and within fifteen minutes
after the flames were first seen a SlameSe
nozzle, fed by three engines, was throw
ing a stream into the burning steeples.
The supports were too nearly eaten away,
however, and slowly the one on the west
bent over and plunged into the street.
Firemen, citizens and police skurrIed TO
places OF safety and then the stream was
turned to the remaining steeple. In a
minute later ii was seen to WaVer, and
Just as the voices of half a thousand
people shouted an alarm 1t seemed that
the confined gases within the walls ex-
ploded beneath this steeple and ii went
hurtling into the street.
1t was too late for the fremen 20 flee
and borne down by the fiery mass five of
them lay bleeding on the pavement. Will
ing hands released nozzle and hose and
hurried to their rescue. Lee Costello of
engine IA was among the first placed on
his feet, and although suffering from
severe laceration of the scalp and con-
cussion ne retained his consciousness and
assisted by fireman and Mayor Phelan

Yet at both ends of the bridge the fires
had been started. and. though a
stretch Of iron 430 feet long intervened,
the sheds on both sides were madly
afame. A strong south wind was blow
ing at the time, and passengers de-
scribe the scene as magnificent The
flames Illuminated the heavens and
placed the towering pines of the sur
rounding hills in bold relief against the
Redeemed sky.
Up to a late hour tonight no arrests
have been reported here in connection
with the fire.
\ short time ago the lookout at Red
Mountain detected some men in the
act Of setting fire to the pine forests on
the other side of the American River
fork. Although a search was made for
them the men could not be caught.
The loss of the railroad company by
the present fire will probably reach
$4,000. 1t will be necessary to rebuild
the sheds before the heavy SHOWS set
in, and a large force of men will at once
be put to work. The track is rapidly
being rebuilt and new rails laid, and
trains will soon be running on schedule

the right hand. AS soon as the wound
was dressed, however, he refused 70 go to
his home, but returned to continue the
battle with the flames. Two other fire
men were injured by the falling steeples,
but they were quickly removed to their
homes, and up TO late hour their names
had not been given out. All are resting
well and it is not thought that fatality
will result from the injuries received at
the fire. although the escape Of the in
Jured firemen from instant death was
After the injured had been removed the
work of eXtinguishing the flames was re-
newed with increasing yigor.
The Hotel Normandie, which caught fire
shortly after flames were seen bursting
from the roof OF the church was occu-
pied by Mrs. Alice NJ. Marshall as a lodg-
ing house There are fifty rooms in the
house which were all occupied. The mo-
guests grabbed their valuables and rushed
to places of safety. Many of the inmates
of the house were out at the time and
their effects still remain in the rooms,
broken and spoiled by falling plaster,
water and smoke. Mrs. Marshall stated
that the house had been furnished at a
insured for $1,000. The building, which is
owned by a Mrs. Botsford, was badly
damaged in the rear and on the east
side
Police Officer Frank Riley and his wife
were both confined TO their room in the
hotel by Illness. They had just managed
to crawl from bed when the uremen en-
tered and carried them out.
Jacob Immel. the sexton Of the church,
was in the edifice when the fire started.
The first information he received that
the building was on fire was impaired
TO him by a stranger who rushed into the
church and yelled to him that the roof
was on fire. 1t was Immel's opinion that
the fire was caused by sparks from the
Hotel Normandie chimney. He bases his
opinion on the fact that the kitchen of
the hotel is on the side of the building
