 $3SO,OO0 at Dallas.
 DALLAS, Tex, April 21.-Two per- sons fatally injured Fire Chief Magee prostrated and property loss of fully $350,000 is the result of several early morning fires which occurred in this city. The first alarm was turned in from the Dorsey printing establish Slent, located on lower Elm street. Sew eral additional alarms from different parts of the city followed closely.
 The Dorsey Printing company, one of the largest establishments of the kind in the southwest, was totally destroy ed, the loss being estimated at S20o,0O0, one-half covered by insurance While the Dorsey fire was in progress and more than half the fire department was engaged there a second alarm was received from Lamar street, close to the immense agricultural district A high wind blowing from the south saw ed the implement establishments and the adjoining property from destruc- tion. Half of the buildings burned were ordinary business houses and the remainder dwellings. The Griffith Lumber company's yard ignited, and i this company is one of the principal losers in that section of the city. 1t is estimated that the losses in the Lamar street district will aggregate S15O,O0O. A portion of the contents of the dwellings burned was saved, but the losses are estimated to be fully $15, ,000. While the two big fires were raging an alarm came in from the residence district of Fisher lane, in South Dal- las, two miles distant. This fire de- stroyed four cottages worth S2O,OOO 1 It is claimed by insurance men that the fire in the suburb was incendiary, and the police and fire departments are l strongly inclined to the belief that the other fires were incendiary.
