600 was caused by several fires which oc-
CURED here shortly after 3 o'clock this
mornir=.
AT that hour an alarm was turned IN
from the Dorsey printing establishment and
in a short time one of the lercest confla-
grations which has visited Dallas in years
was in progress. To add to the trouble OF
the iIemen several other alarms from diff
'--r-' narrs OF the city we're turned in
In quick succession.
...,of hgnung the fire for two hours Chief
Magee was Frustrated and the command
was turned over to an assistant. The chief
was rescued from the flames by the police
and was unconscious for several hours, but
was later reported out Of danger.
Fireman Will Spur was struck in the
face with brick and fatally injured.
The young son of Fire Chief Magee was
found on the floor Of the engine room at the
fire station with a fractured skull 1t is
supposed that the lad attempted to slide
from the bunk room to the engine room on
one Of the iron poles used by the fremen
and fell to the floor below. He probably
will die.
The Dorsey Printing companys plant was
totally destroyed, the loss being about 5000,
900, half covered by insurance.
Twenty Buildings Consumed.
While the Dorsey FIRE was in progress a
fire broke out on Lamar street, near Collins.
and twenty buildings were destroyed. Half
Of them we're ordinary business houses and
the remainder boarding houses and dwell
lngs. The Grifhth Lumber company is one
of the principal losers in that section OF
the city, where IL is estimated the losses
will aggregate $3.50, 900. Of which Grifith &
Co. sustain $50 900. with insurance Of $685.
600.
Tho loss of the Heating implement com
pany is heavy. but not accurately known.
About a dozen smaller mercantile and
manufacturing establishments were de-
stroyed, the losses ranging from $s 900
down.
While the two big fires were raging a
third one broke out in the residence dis
trict of Fisher lane, in South Dallas, two
miles distant, which destroyed four cot
tages. worth $50. 900, the insurance on which
cannot be obtained tonight.
Insurance men are positive that the fire
in Fisher lane was incendiary and the police

to believe that all we're due to incendiaries.

Al the new year progresses the
times grow duller.
Many changes have taken place
with he coming of January. Nov
ing seems to be the order OF the

Temperance seems almost uni

Rev. j. P. Owen ord not Gil his
appointment at Jacksonville on
the FIRST Sunday on account Of the
extreme illness of his wife, which
resulted In her death.
Mr.. R. K. johnson. of Outland,
sustained a serious accident on
Thursday of last week. After
closing the store he started for his
mother's home, when, by some
means, his road cart encountered
a stump, throwing him from the
vehicle and brusing him consld-
erably. DR.. w. G. Hemingway,
who was called in, says that there
are no bones broken.
A number of farmers are leav-
ing tho county. They seem to
think that hard times are only
local. Probably some will find
that they are mistaken when they
arrive at their new homes.
Miss Lula Wall closed her school
at Muddy Creek this week.
Many farmors in this section
have gone to work to improve
their farms for another years
crop.
We are indebted to our young
friends, Misses Leila Davis and
Epla Wall, tor a very pleasant
evening at the home OF the former
on New Years evening at an
apron party. The ladies got their
aprons hemmed very nicely at the
hands OF the young men, who,
however awkward in their un-
wonted tasks, were willing enough.
