prising thing about the whole assem-

was visited, yesterday, by $55O,OOO
fire, and as a result the State Capital
printing plant, the Hotel Capitol, the
St. James hotel, the Cammack livery
barns and the Richey general mer-
chandise store are in ruins.
Everything in the State Capital
plant was destroyed, including two
presses, machines of every kind, line
otype machines, electric and steam
heating systems, libraries and an im-
mense stock of supplies. Frank II.
Greer, the owner, states that the to-
tai loss is $27o,OOO. Not thing, but
the mailing list of the paper was
saved. The losses in the other build
ings will make the entire loss to tho
town fully $350,OOO.
The fire started at noon in the base
ment of the State Capital, and was
soon roaring up the elevator shafts.
A high wind was blowing, and it was
impossible to check the flames. As
sistanee was asked of Oklahoma City.
Perry, Kingfisher and other surround
ing cities, but the high wind did the
work before help could arrive. Work
will commence at once on the con-
struction of new buildings for the
state capitol. As no work had been
in progress in the newspaper build
ing yesterday it is believed the fire
was of ineendiarY origin.
