THAT SOCORR0 FIRE.
How Antonio Cortesy Was Crushed
to Death Under Falling Wall.
THE FUNERAL SERVICES.

The brief telegram received and pub
lished by The Citizen one day last
week regarding the sad death of An
tonic Cortesy, of Socorro, gave no par
ticulars whatever of the fire which
caused the death, hence the following
article is clipped from the Socorro
Chieftain:
For the first time in several months
citizens of Socorro were startled We'd
nesday afternoon by an alarm of fire.
What proved to be one of the most dis
tressing accidents in the history of the
city soon followed. A column of smoke
rising near the s-arcia opera house at
tracted attention. there and the fire
was quickly located in a wooden roof
ed adobe building belonging to Abran
Abeyta. The building stood just across
the alley north of the opera house and
was partly occupied by family and
partly used as a storehouse for hay
and other commodities
The members of Socorro Hose COM
pany. No. /, appeared upon the scene
with their usual promptness. Had coz
ditions been as they should have been
the fire wouiu have been eXtinguished
without damage to the amount of 800.
the city would have been spared the
loss of a prominent and useful citizen,
anu a large family would not now be
mourning the death of a husband and
father. But when the water was turn
ed on there was not force enough to
drive il twenty feet horizontally from
| the nozzle of the hose. Some parties
were using water from the fire plugs
for illegitimate purposes probably for
irrigation. It was at once seen that
the building already on fire and also
ADJOINING property were at the mercy
of the flames. Fortunately, by very
| hard work on part of the hose com
| pany and others the fire was prevent
/ ed from spreading TO neighboring
/ buildings.
| II was not until the fire was prac-
/ tically eXtinguished that the mournful
accident of the day occurred. 1t was
! then thought necessary TO pull down
smouldering roof. To accomplish
/ this purpose several members of the
hose company. including Mr.. Cortesy,
passed through an opening in high
adobe wall, loosened the roof from its
fastenings. and ran back through the
opening through which they had just
passed Had Mr. Cortesy kept straight
on all would have been well. but he
! turned TO one side the roof fell against
the wall and toppled it over, and in an
instant Antonio COrtesy with a laugh
on his lips was crushed out of nearly
all semblance of his former self. Death
must have been instantaneous. In an
incredibly short time willing and eager
hands cleared away the debris only to
find that Mr. Cortesy's remains show
ed absolutely no signs of life Andy
Cortesy witnessed the terrible tragedy
and in fact helped to rescue his faith
| er's remains.
Thus by what may hest in charity
he called somebody's oversight in Off
cial duty is another OF life's tragedies
ended.
