boats saw others drowning as their
overcrowded craft pulled to shore.
The barely-clad survivors ON the
shore not only witnessed horrifying
scenes around the charrod hull, but
also suffered from early morning till
relief came in the afternoon. The
captain says there were 66 passcn-

There were as many women as men in
the cabin, and the indications are
that the greater percentage of losses

scattered in every direction, there is
Igreut difficulty in getting list of

many charred bodies will be found

COSTLY FIRE AT DALLAS, TEX
Two Persons Fatally Injured and Over a
Quarter of = Million In Prop
erty Swept Away

Dallas, Tex, April 21.-Two persons
were fatally injured; Fire Chief Ma.
gee was prostrated, and a property
loss of fully $4,000 was caused by
several fires which occurred here
shortly after three o'clock yesterday
morning. At that hour an alarm was
turned from the Dorsey printing es.
tablishment, and in a short time one
of the tierccst conAagrations which
has visited Dallas in years was in
progress. To add to the troubles of
the iiremen, several other alarms
from different parts of the city were
turned in in quick succession.
After fighting the fire for two
hours, Chief Magee was prostrated
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 ont Of danger
Fireman William Spur was struck
in the face by flying brick and fa'
tally injured
The young son of Fire Chief Magee
was found on the floor of the engine
room at the Central 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 tremcn
and fell to the floor.
The Dorsey Printing Co.'s plant was
totally destroyed, the loss being
about 100000, half covered by insur.
ance.
While the Dorsey fire was in prog.
ress, a fire broke out on Lamar
street near Collin, and 20 buildings
were destroyed. Half Of them were
ordinary business houses and the re,
mainder boarding houses and dwell
ings. The Griffith Lumber Co. is one
of the principal losers in that section
of the city, where it is estimated that
the loss will aggregate $1jO,O00, Of
which Griffith d Go. sustain $4,000
with insurance of $4,000.
The loss of the Heating Implement
Co. is heavy, but not accurately
known. About dozen smaller mer
camille and manufacturing establish
ments were destroyed, the losses
ranging from $4,000 down.
While the big fires were raging q
third one broke oIu in the residenc.
district of Fisher lane, in South Dal
las, two miles distant, which de-
stroyed four cottages, worth 100000,
