"At the present time the manufacturer
OF the east are alive to the opportunity Of

WITNESS TELLS OF HOTEL FIRE
J. w. Horner. who Gave Alarm, De-
scrIbes Details Of the Chi
caRO Disaster.

J. w. Horner, a mining man from Grand
E~ncampmsnt, Wyo., the man who gave the
alarm at the Lincoln hotel fire in Chicago,
is In the city on his way to the west. In
regard to the disaster Mr.. Horner said:
81. is a great surprise to me that more
people were not burned or suffocated In the
hotel. l never have seen such dense smoke
as filled the hall on the fourth story from
the time the fire was discovered. The night
clerk, a fellow named Gus, a railway mail
man from the Milwaukee and myself were
the first ones to know of the fire, and we
ran up from the office, which is on the sec
ond floor, to the third. The hall was full
Of smoke, but we ran along, pounding on
the door and shouting the alarm. l then
went down to the Office street and there at
the door met a fireman and told him the
house was on fire. The fireman then turned
in the alarm. The fire never got through
the roof, and only burned out six rooms on
the fourth floor, and some fire dropped
through the floors Of these into the rooms
below. You would not have known from
the outside that the building was ablaze.
We discovered the fire at about $50 a. m,
and It was all over and they were carrying
out the dead by $3.50. Three bodies we're
found in the six burned rooms and the
others in the hall.
II was in Chicago to attend the stock
fair, and like others there did not seek a
room until bedtime. Then l could not get
any place but a sofa in the room adjoining
the Office. l awoke about 5:45 and went
into the office and was talking to the night
clerk when a mail clerk on the Milwaukee
came down. After we had stood talking for
two or three minutes he said: Don't you
smell smoker l did, and we started to in
vestigate.
The building Is a rooming house and is
not yet fully fitted out. 1t was-a hotel dur
ing the worlds fair and burned out then.
twelve people being cremated. Since then
1t has been occupied by a printing house.
Mr.. Smith has just partititioned off he
rooms and the work was not yet done. The
partitions were only studdlng covered with
lath and plaster. The house faces south
and the workmen were not through work on
the fire escape, but had their blocks and
tackle in place. Four men escaped down
these ropes. The people in the house who
numbered 40, of which three were women
and one a small boy. weer mostly stock men
and others from small towns. All the peo-
pie on the third floor escaped. l believe the
fire was caused by defective electric wir-

SLEEPY JURORS IN COURT
Condition Leads Clerk BrOadweu and
Fellow Citizen to some EN-
barrassment.

John d. Hughes, tried on a charge Of
highway robbery, has been found not guilty
by a jury that went out at 8 o'clock Friday
evening and did not agree on a verdict until
2 o'clock in the morning.
Yesterday morning some of those who,had
served on that jury we're called into Judge
Slabaugh's court and the Judge, perceiving
their sleepy condition, remarked upon the
cause. Later two more Jurors were called
in from another room and the Judge whis-
pered to the clerk that he had best first
ascertain IL they had been among those
forced to sit UP.
Were you out all night" demanded
Clerk Broadwell, without thinking how the
question sounded.
The juror addressed, who happens to be
a churchman of considerable prominence
and high standing in South Omaha, blushed
to his ears as he answered.:
II got in about 5 o'clock"
Somebody in the back Of the room snick-
cred audibly and then 1t dawned on the
crowd that the situation had a bad aspect
and there was a general laugh, which wasn't
quieted any by the jurors attempt to ex-
plain Just how 1t happened that he had
been kept up so late. The excuse was good
and satisfactory, but the crowd declined to
quiet down. Clerk Broadwell states that
hereafter he will be more guarded in his
questions to gentlemen from his home city.
