Hambleton, w. Va, Jan. 22.-About
a. m. Camp No. 5 of the Otter Creek
Boom and Lumber company, several
miles from here in the forest, took fire
and burned so rapidly that seven of
the 40 men asleep in the building
failed to get out, and were burned to
death. Following is the list of dead:
John Morrissey, John Riley, George
Van Horn, Arthur Hendricks, Thomas
Hickey, Mike Crannon and Forrest
Manard. Bud WEIGH was so badly
burned that he is in a critical condi-
ton.
1t was not more than minutes
from the time when the alarm was
given until there was no chance of
escape. The camp was 22 by so feet,
and the upper part all in one room,
and In this the 40 men were sleeping.
Two very small windows and the mar
row stairs afforded the only ways of
escape and those who went to the
windows, a dozen or more, had to
jump IL or Is feet, the others rushing
down the steps like sheep, pushing and
tumbling and falling over each other.
After they were out some of the
men inside could be seen in the flames.
but not cry came from the building.
The dead are almost entirely cremated.
There were scarcely 40 pounds of the
flesh and bones of all seven brought
here in a little box.
The men who escaped lost their
clothing and were compelled to travel
through eight inches of snow almost
naked to another camp a mile away.

GOES TO S|EGER
MoFadden Outclassed in
Twenty-Round Bout.
Especial to The Washington rime..)


BALTIMORE. Md. Oct. 3.-George
McFadden, the champion of many
pugilistic battles, had his colors low
cred last night to Charles Sieger. of Ho-
boken, N. j., in a twenty-round fight
before AL Herford's Eureka Athletic
Club, at Germania Maennerchor Hall.
George Mantz. who refereed the fight,
gave the decision to Sieger on points,
which was a just one, as the Hoboken
boy landed three or more punches to
one on McFadden.
McFadden stood the grueling like a
man, and at the finish he seemed
stronger than when he entered The ring.
In the first Ave rounds he seemed very
SLOW and Sfeger looked to be a winner
After that, however, the man Of many
battles braced up and held his own as
far as a good punching was concerned.
Sieger landed at will on all parts Df Nc
Fadden's anatomy, from where his hair
met his eyebrows to the waist line, but
the Hoboken boys jabs seemed to have
no effect. Some of Sieger's blows to the
head went over McFadden's shoulder,
but the majority Of them landed. After
the bout his neck looked like piece Of
raw beef
This was apparently all the punish
ment McFadden received. 1t was :, sharp.
fast, infighting battle, in which both men
tried hard for knockout. which failed
to materialize. Sieger:s blows, which
were quick and often. seemed to lack
steam, while McFadden's counters and
uppercuts made an impression on the
boy from Hoboken. Sfeger was trained
to the minute and made a most favor
able impression.
McFadden's generalship stood him
we'll, and his clever blocking saved him
many a hard punch. S!eger's blows
were aimed at Macs jaw and head, ard
he generally made good. but McFaddsn
stood the punishment like soldier. and
went to his corner each time without
any perceptible damage.
rhe nineteenth round was all ,fcFad-
den's He started in ard made a good
for few SECONDS, but lie could
not keep up the gait. Sieger landed In
punch for punch, and at the end Of the
round honors were about even.
In the last round the lad from Fo-
boken had clearly the best Of it, and he
was given the decision. The referee
stated on points.
