Battle Creek, Mich, February Isl The
Kellogg OF Seventh Day Advontlsts santa.
rum here, which was located on a hill at
the highest point in the city. was destroyed
by IRE early today aud the property loss is
estimated at from 100000 to 100000 SO
far as can be learned there was no loss OF
life among the 400 people In the sanitarum,
although one or two persons are said to
he missing aud II is possible that their
bodies may be in the ruins. However, those
missing may he in one OF the houses or
hotels which have taken in the homeless
patients. Mrs. II. G.. Daniels Of El Do
rndo. Ark, Is the only person who WAS Sc.
riously injured. She Jumped or fell from
the IRE escape at the third story and sus.
tanned a broken leg. The fire started in the
path room of the Sanitarlum building prob
ANY about the furnace. stll alarm was
turned In hut the first company of hrcmen
could not cope with the flames which shot
UP the elevator shaft to tho roof like rock
cts. general call was sent in but the
hre was beyond control The water press.
IRE was low and this added TO the handicap
of the nrcmen. as the Sanitaru stood ON
q hill. In two hours the building was In
ruins and the hospital was nearly de
Stroyed. 1t is almost a miracle that the
500 Sleeping inmates escaped with their
lives, Watchmcn dartcd through tho cor
ridors awakening them when the lire was
discovered Few OF them had time to
gather together any clothing, escaping IN
their night clothes The corridors soon
filled with smoke and about half Of the
patients were compelled 10 make their way
down the IRE escape. Mrs IL G. Daniels
who was Injured on tho ftth floor. says
she was awakened hy the cry of fire aud
rushed TO the fire escape on the fourth
floor. She got down safely MS far as the
third story when she either jumped or fell
she hardly knows which. She is resting
easily and is In no danger.
Mrs. Dillingham; Of Atlantic City y. J..
describing her escape said; II was in my
room on the Attn floor when the nurse
rushed TO tho door crying Fire" The cleo.
trio lights were going then. hut they soon
went out and we We're in darkness but Tor
the flames which rushed from the tower
above our heads My aged husband was
on tho floor beneath me and hau to 20 down
the fire escape as | did He was guided by =
nurse and escaped safely. Scores of peo.
pie were on the escape coming from an
parts Of the building and # is a wonder
that none of them were Killed.
Firemen Henry Lucas and Arthur Robin

lY hurt by falling from a ladder.
The management OF the sanitarium is
positive that no lives were lost As each
room was visited three times by nurse
before the building was abandoned The
