West Baden Springs Hotel
 Burned Early To-Day.

Guests All Escaped But Lost Their Be longings-The Loss Will Reach $1,-
 100000 on the Hotel Property--The Hotel Was Patronized by Wealthy
 People of Chicago and Louisville. Indianapolis, Ind, June 14.--Tele- phone messages from Salem and Bed ford to the Journal received up to 4:12 this morning say: The West Baden Springs hotel at West Baden, ore of Indianapolis most famous health and pleasure resorts, burned early this morning. It could not be learned how tho fire started. because of. the failure of lines of communication with this city at an early hour, the fire was still burning at o'clock and the building was then almost consumed.
 Everything in connection with the hotel building was destroyed and it was rumored there were several lives lost, but this could not be confirmed. Tele- phone and telegraph communication with Indianapolis was destroyed, while the story of the fire was being told.
 The hotel is said to have had several hundred guests, and all their belong ings were destroyed, there having been no time to save anything.
 Assistance was asked from the fire department of nearby towns but on account of the lack of transportation facilities no aid could be rendered. A telephone message from Cincinnati at a. m., stated that the fire broke out at l a. m. On account of the great confusion it was impossible to tell whether all of the guests and employees escaped.
 J. M. Persise of Salem, Ind, one of the proprietors, said at o'clock this morning that the building was erect ed twelve years ago and they had been adding to it ever since until the value of the property was about $1,000,000; this included the grounds and build ings. There is only insurance of $1O0,- 0O0
 The other proprietors are l.. W. Sin clair of Salem, who is now at West Baden, and B. R. Rhodes of West Ba- den. As nearly as MT Persise could say there were 250 guests at the place last night. The hotel he said had TOO rooms.
 West Baden is a favorite resort for wealthy people of Chicago and Louis vile.
 West Baden is located near the west ern boundary line of Orange county and is reached by an extension of the Monon line from Paoli.
 2 A despatch from West Baden at 7:30 o'clock says:
 Although there were many narrow escapes and nearly all the guests at the West Baden Springs hotel lost their effects, yet it is now believed that no lives were lost and that no one was in- jured.''
 Cincinnati, Ohio, June 14.-Later re- ports from West Baden confirm the statement that no lives were lost and that no one was hurt. The hotel is total wreck. The large frame struc- ture burned so rapidly that the guests had difficulty in escaping with their lives. Very few of the 300 in the hotel saved any of their effects and they were in distress in the cold rain of the night These conditions continue to- day. People who are wealthy are beg ging for wraps or anything to wear Many have nothing except their night attire. Relief is being sent from French Lick, Louisville and Indian apolis.
