large quantity of equipment, nine cars
and five engines, at that place were to-
tally destroyed by fire this mOfning.
The damage viii reach 100000 and is
we'll covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown
Shortly after midnight a Waterman
discovered a blaze in one of the abuiId-
ings. He summoned those living in the
vicinity. The firemen were unable to
put out the flames. Steam was car
1ied to the pumps from the pile-driver
and this prevented the engine pits
from falling in. The intense heat bent
and twisted the rails like tiny wires in
a furnace.
Clarendon is $50 miles from Denver
and is the end Of the Fort Worth &
