Dynamite Prove Futile.
CRIPPLE CREEK. Colo. Aug. 22.-Fire
has utterly destroyed the business por-
ton Of the city Of Victor, causing loss
estimated at $s,500,0OO. Beginning
shortly after noon, the fire ragged until
evening, consuming everything in its
way. 1t had its origin, it is thought, in
the Merchants cafe, adjoining the
Bank of Victor, on the corner of Third
street and Victor avenue. A strong
wind from the south famed the flames
and in a few minutes all the surround
ing houses We're afire.
Help was summoned from Cripple
Greek, but the town had been built in
the early days Of the camp and was of
pine timber for the most part, and
burned like tinder Efforts were made
to stop the progress of the flames by
blowing up buildings in their path by
means Of dynamite, and all afternoon
the hills roared with the explosions, but
the effort was in vain.
The fire claimed the Bank of Victor,
the postoffice on the corner of the street,
crossed Third street and followed the
row Of blocks between Third and Fourth
streets to the north, taking the Victor
Banking company, the Western Union
Telegraph company's Office and the Of
ice of the Colorado Telephone company,
the Hotel Victor on the opposite side of
Fourth street and the three great shaft
houses of the Gold Coin Mining com
pany and its ore bins, among the largest
in the Cripple Creek district.
From there the flames were swept
lorthward by the half hurricane which
was blowing, and never stopped until
they had taken the entire Florence and
Cripple Creek depot and the fine new
-d6pot;of the Midland Terminal road
at the head of Fourth street. All the
buildings between these are total
loss. with practicsily their entire CON
tents, for the tlstnes were ~ rapid in

men, women and children, carrying
what they could snatch from the flames
racing for their lives. The crash 81
buildings torn asunder by ayn arnite
and the crackle of the flames ass they

their fight and the pall III sino added
a terror to the spectacle.
The residence portion Of the city
has suffered com mpaSat vely little. btis
the business portion is par lyzsd and
suffering is bound to, follow. The
burned area may be thoroughly desig-
mated as the space between the head of
North street and Victor avenue, extend

on the west to- point near Second
street and down Third street almost to

say I do. He used to be my fathers
class leader in Ontario, and better
man than he never lived. We must
have him up here at once" That
night two of the Craig boys went to
Crookston and brought Rev. S. Ker-
foot back with them. After a short
visit with the Craig family, Rev. Mr..
Kerfoot returned to his home in EN-
erson, Manitoba. Soon, however, a
letter from Messrs. Craig and Davies;
: was sent urging him to come to War
rem and open up the work here.
With the consent of the Presiding
Elder, Rev. Mr.. Starkey, he came
and preached his first sermon in No.
vember, 1879. That sermon was not
preached in the school house, nor in
the court house, nor in church, for
Warren at that time boasted of no
public buildings whatsoever. That
tirst Methodist service was held in
the bar room of the Commercial Ho-
tel, building which now forms a
part of the Lyons House. It is to be
said to the credit of the Miners, who
ran the hotel, that no liquor was then
being sold there. That day, with a
bar for a pulpit, Rev. Mr.. Kerfoot
preached an earnest sermon and
found his way into the hearts of those
who came to hear. After this first
service in the hotel, the Methodists
met in the law Office of j. P. Nelson.

THE HISTORY
Of Warren Methodist Episco-
pal Church. .~.

Someone has said that there is moth.
ing more unreliable than history, and
after having written this sketch I am
more than ever convinced that the
statement is true. If there are mis-.
takes in this sketch which I read to.
I night, you must lay it not to careless.
ness on my part, but to the fact that
it has been impossible to find out the
true history of the church.
Although this church has been or,
ganized only 20 years, yet nearly all
the records for the first decade have
been lost, consequently, instead OF
learning the history of the church
from the records, I have had to gath.
er it up here and there, as best I
could. from the lips of those who
have been connected with the church
for the past 20 years; and the fact
that memory is not infallible will
account for any mistakes found in
this paper which I am about to read.
Warren Methodist Episcopal
church was organized in the fall of
1879. This was near the beginning
Of things in Warren. At that time,
Warren had but few buildings, and
was composed of only handful of
people. The railroad had, however,
been put through, and attracted by
the reports of rich and virgin soil,
people were rapidly focking into the
great Red River Valley of the North.
From all parts of the country people
came, and the best of all is that they
brought the Gospel with them
Many Of the early settlers in and
about Warren were devoted servants
of God, and at the call of such as
these the preacher of the Gospel was
soon in their midst. First there
came Baptist preacher who staid
only short time. Then congrega-
tionalist minister preached for a while
during the spring and summer Of
'79, but some of the Methodist peo-
pie, not being content with sermons
that sswere read off like book
were hoping and praying that God
would send Methodist minister into
their midst. It was about this time
that Mr.. Gilbert chanced to learn
from the Polk County Journal that
Methodist services were being con-
Quoted at Crookston by one Samuel
Kerfoot, of Emerson, Manitoba, and
taking the paper over to Mrs. Craig,
he asked her if she knew the man.
Know him, !" said she, 81 should
