FOUR ENID CLOCKS IN ASHES.
Buildings Blown Up With Dynamite
to Check the Flames.

Enid. o. T., July 15.-Four blocks
of business houses on the public
square were destroyed by fire in less
than three hours time by fire that
started after midnight The water
supply was inadequate and it was
necessary tc blow up buildings with
dynamite to check the flames. Owing
to the continued drought everything
burned like match wood. A light wind
blowing from the southeast saved the
eastern part of the town. The total
loss is estimated at slightly over $780,
900. The insurance will be light.
The fire started in the two-story
hotel building near the southeast cor
ner OF the square, owned by John Ben
ton, and spread quickly to the big
Gensman Bros hardware house on the
corner. Both buildings with contents
were soon consumed. The fire then
destroyed in turn the Snyder furniture
store, the Cramer restaurant and no.
tel, Mauldin's furniture store, Central
hotel butcher shop, in which $1,000
dollars in cash was consumed, and the
Enid carriage works. Then going
east 1t consumed the Yeakey shop
and three small buildings. Here it
jumped across the street west de-
stroying the wholesale establishment
OF Crandall & Brubb and the st. 10.
seph hotel. The Armour Packing
company's building was next de-
stroyed, and following this the entire
south block of the square, consisting
mainly of frame buildings, among
which were the Montezuma hotel. the
Clivinger building, the Weekly Events
printing Office and the Weatherby
building. The fremen finally were
compelled to blow up several buildings
with dynamite, and in this manner
succeeded in checking the flames at
3 a. m. The postoffice and the land
office were saved only after a hard
fight.

west covered portions of Montgomery,

Around Joplin there was heavy fall
for ten minutes. At 1880 soaking

Result a Complete Surprise.


For seven weeks the court heard testi-
mony, and for fully month it deliberat-
ed upon that mass of evidence, finally
reaching the conclusions announced
The result was complete surprise, and
it is probable that no prophecy has ap-
preached the truth.
Instead of one report there are two.
Both are signed by George Dewey, presi-
dent and by Samuel c. Lemly as judge
advocate.
There is a form said to be recognized
in all courts of inquiry. the signatures of
the other members not being necessary.
But it explained that Admiral Dewey
signed the second report a minority re-
port, to express his qualification of or
dissent from the views expressed by the
court, comprising beside himself, Admiral
Benhams and Ramsay, in the first re-
port.
Admiral Schley Satisfied.
1t is said at the navy department that
there will be no further proceeding in
this celebrated case on the department 8
initiative.
The court itself recommends no further
proceedings, owing to the lapse of time.
When the conclusions of Admiral
Dewey We're read to Admiral Schley it
was evident from his manner that he re-
garded the statement from Admiral
Dewey as vindication of his cause.
Admiral Dewey was seen last night
and declined to make any statement con-
cerning the courts findings. He said
that the court was not dissolved, and
that he was still bound by his oath tc
