Hctei Buckman, with all it's con.
tents, was burned to the ground
early Saturday morning. The fire
was discovered about 2:3O, O'Clock.
and it is supposed to have originated
in the laundry, located in the Ebase-
ment, in the southwest corner. The
house filed with smoke very. q uickly.
making escape difficult for many of
the guests, the greater number of
v whom got out in their night clothes.
The firemen were prompt, but the
dense smoke made it difficult to get
at the blaze, which spread rapidly,
and finally all that could be done
was to protect adjoining property
which was successfully done. "
The Buckman was built in tho win
ter OF 1923. It was a handsome
three-story and basement brick, with
q frontage Of 22O feet, half on First
street and half on First avenue
south: 1t was finely fitted up and
considered one Of the leading hotels
OF the state The loss is estimated
at around $685. 900. Mr.. Mecusker.

The fire was hard one to handle
Although it is claimed there was
ample pressure, the streams of water
did not reach as high as they should
nor have ae much force as wanted.
This was also noted at the paper

cause is that the mains are too small
and DO not carry enough volume Of
water. This is the opinion of many,
and if correct, there should be larger
mains, because it is possible that q
great fire may break OUT some time
when many streams will berequired.
People will cheerfully stand an in

means better fire protection.

States steel corporation nor at any time

THIS looks like very sweeping deulal on
the part OF Attorney General Knox as to
the many charges that have been made in
the public press TO the effect that he WAS
formerly connected with the Carnegie com
pauy or the steel trust. But the force and
effect OF this denial are entirely destroyed
by the remarkable admission which tho
attorney general makes In the next sen
teuce, when he says: Il was formerly one
