DESTRUCTIVE FIRE CAUSED BY A
MAN AND A LANTERN.
Much OIL Property Burned, Including
Derricks, Tanks and Pumping
Plants-Forest Fires.

BEAUMONT, Tex, Sept. 12.-At daylight
this morning the fire in the oil field burned
itself out and tonight there are only four
wells and two tanks burning. One of the
wells is big gusher and there will be much
trouble experienced in extinguishing it,
The smaller wells can be easily handled
as the fire is principally fed by gas. The
oil is being drawn from the tanks as rapid
ly as possible and they will probably burn
themselves out tonight. There is a breeze
blowing, but it is sweeping across the field
and toward the fire. Even If 1t changes
there will be little danger of further loss
for the reason that all the loose oil has
been burned off,
The loss caused by the fire is variously
estimated The lowest figures by those
competent to judge places the total loss
at about $4,000. From this 1t ranges up
to s25O0O0. So far as can be ascertained
about thirty derricks were destroyed. The
loss on these was comparatively small

The fire was started by the carelessness

lighted lantern and there was an explosion
of gas which ignited the oil: The man
escaped, though he is said to have been
badly burned. The Wood gusher had been
left open and 1t was ignited within a few
minutes. Before an alarm could be given
to control the burning tank. the flame
leaped high in the air, the derrick caught
fire and so did the oil which was standing
around the we'll. The ignition was COM
paratively slow, but the fire. once started

The flames shot up through the smoke,
forked and jagged like lightning in some
Instances, and in great sheets in other por-
lions of the field. The ground was thorough
ly soaked with oil and until this had been
burned off the smoke obscured everything,
even creating a fog-like effect In the city,
four miles away. There was very little
wind and this contributed to the safety of
the rest of the field.

Success Is Certain-Active In

II feel sure we will raise the funds neces-

her ankle about four weeks ago and is

2,000 in number, evinced a marked inter-
est in the matter. Il have not been in the
city long enough to find out just what is
being DONE" said Mr.. Dickey. within a
few days we will be in position to an
nounce a plan by which the last of the
amount required will be raised If the citi-
zens generally will subscribe an amount
within about $4,000 of the $4,000 necessary.
We have the assurance of a number of
wealthy men that they will contribute the
remainder"
The season at Winona has practically
closed and the headquarters of the assem-
bly, will be reopened in the Stevenson Build
ing within a few days. The Winona Agri-
cultural and Technical Institute will open
at Winona next Tuesday with an attend
ance of about ninety boys.
DIR. Dickey's confidence is shared by
George W. Brown and the other canvassers
for the fund, although only 81 900 was raised
yesterday in small subscriptions. There are
a number of wealthy men still to see. Mr..
Brown says. and 1t is expected that their
contributions will be large.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. R.-Although
the freshmen few nights ago succeeded
in painting their class numerals. 'O6, on
the historic water tank north Of the univer-
sity, the figures no longer are TO be seen.
Last night seventy-nve sophomores, with
a hundred more of their class in reserve,
marched to the tank, scaled the seventy
foot wall. painted out the new figures and
replaced "05'' on the surface. There was
no resistance, as the freshmen were not
aware that their numerals were being desc
Grated but trouble is inevitable within a
few days or all old college traditions are
forgotten, for ii is an established custom
for the two lower classes to battle for su-
premacy on the hillside that TANKS the
huge black reservoir.
Last year the fight was the fiercest in the
history of the university and there were
several seriously injured. Both classes
have many strong men and good leaders
this year and it is believed that last years
struggle will be overshadowed by the con-
test that is to come.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-By noon to-
day the Navy Department had been adj
vised that the two warships ordered TO the
scene OF trouble on the Isthmus OF Panama
