FLAMES SHOOT UP INTO THE AIR
In IN Instant One Side of the Building Is
Torn Out and Ruin Follows.


Torn Out and Ruin Follows.
A mass of flames shot up in the air
hundreds of feet The building was
almost Immediately enveloped, and
within ten minutes another and more
terrific explosion occurred which tore
out the entire side of the building
near the river, and it was this explo-
sion that hurled the Waterman, w. E.
WEIGH, out of the flames and saved his
life. He was only slightly injured, and
will recover. The enormous building
was a mass of ruins in. half hour
after the first blaze was noticed.
The work of the fire department was
futile, and most of it's energies were
directed toward saving the adjoining
property. The c. II. & D. elevator was
largely owned by eastern capital. An
elevator owned by the same company
was burned on the same site four
years ago, and the present building
was built to be the most complete and
most perfect in the country. 1t was
provided with every appliance to pre-
nights fire is great surprise to those
who have inspected the place.
The building had n capacity for l.
10000 bushels, and within few days
would have carried it's capacity. The
actual loss to the company will be in
the neighborhood of S75, 900, while the
grain which is on consignment will be
almost total loss to the shippers.
The quickness of the fire leads to the
opinion that some of the grain will be
saved in damaged condition. The fire
department claims that spontaneous
combustion did the work.

totally destroyed by fire last night, and
the loss on building and contents will

Small Blaze. Then an Explosion.
Nothing would have saved the lives
of the forty men who are employed at
the place had they been in the build

busy for the past two weeks and was

was Sunday prevented the fatalities
which might have followed, for the

Alfalfa Damaged by Frost.

According to the report issued
by the Colorado section of the
Department of Agriculture the
past week has averaged colder than
usual in the eastern border coun-
ties, warmer along the eastern
foothills and nearly normal in the
western valleys. There has been
marked range of temperature
and a more or less destructive
frost i'll all sections which DANA
ged alfalfa slightly in the Arkansas
valley and seriously injured fruits
in bloom in the Arkansas valley
aud Delta and Mesa counties.
The general opinion is that there
is anough yet uuinjured to insure
n good crop. feeding is already
well advanced and winter. wheat is
reported TO be in fine condition,
but the acreage of spring wheat is
much below the average, except in
the San Luis valley. Much land
is being prepared for oats. barley
aud corn. Gardening and plant
ing of early potatoes is in progress.
and large acreage of sugar beets
will be put in in the Grand and
Gunnison valleys.
The need of irrigation is felt in
all districts. The supply of waite
is generally inadequate. notwith-
standing moderately high temper
atur,s have prevailed in the re-

Private Perhaps Fatally Shot by

LAST NIGHT AT AUGUSTA.

Augusta, Ga, April 26-The fl
nal night of the Second Illinois
regiment's stay in Augusta was
celebrated in a riot early this
morning in which one man was
shot, probably fatally, and it was
only through the efforts of Colonel
Moulton that serious bloodshed
was averted.
4 crowd had become disorderly
in their behavior and Lieut.. Mas
kai. officer of the day, tried to dis
erse them. They closed in upon
the officer, however, and finding
himself in danger he drew his pis-
fol and fired. The bullet struck
private of the lieutenant's own
company in the shoulder. The
shot called the other officers to the
scene, but, not needing them, there
was a general rush for the lieu
tenant, who fled to his quarters to
protect himself. There was at
once talk of lynchiug. Col. Moul-
ton, with the assistance of the
guard, compelled the mob to dis
perse. The company is still in a
high state of excitement.

LAWTON CUTS OFF RETREAT

Manila, April 26. Gen. Wheat
on, commanding the Kansas and
Montana troops, crossed the Bag
dad river this morning. The vol
unteers then crossed AID attacked
the Filipinos in their entrench-
ments. After short but fierce
fight they forced the enemy into
Calumpit. Our batteries are now
shelling the town. 1t seems only
a question of time now when Gen.
Macarthur will take the place.
Another line of intrenchments
is still between the troops and the
city. General Hale's division is
on the right bank or cnemy's side
of the river.
In the engagement the Ameri-
can loss was three killed aud three
wounded.
General Otis says it is impossi-
BILE to maintain telegraphic com
munication with General Lawton,
as the enemy cuts the wires as fast
as they are repaired. For this rea-
son it is impossible TO give Gener-
al Lawton 5 position at this hour.
Otis believes that he has reached
point close to Calumpit, and will
be heard from sometime today.
LATER Fighting around Gal
umpit, was resumed this after
noon. General Macarthur advauc-
ed his men to CaIumpit church,
which is just outside the city. The
natives are firing upon the Ameri
can troops. They are also out in
force on the opposite bank of the
Rio Grande river from where they
are firing upon our troops.
The rebels brought their artil-
lery into use this afternoon for the
first time. They are firing shrap-
mel toward the American side. but
the shells burst over the heads of
the entrenched troops and so far
have done no damage
Washington, April 26 News
from. the scene of action in the
Philippines today, although it
gives satisfaction to the war de-
partment. is received with diver
sity of sentiment by the different
army officers.
The general plan is to make
haste slowly in the attack on Cal
umpit, so that .Lawton may come
up in time to cut off the retreat of
the rebels when the town is raided.
The success of the movement will
only be partial III case. he does not
arrive in time.
Many think that Aguinaldo is
still in the town and that the bat
tie will be the final one of the re-
bellion.
