A rumor which comes from sources consid-

today destroyed the new building OF the
Young Mems Christian association, the
Fountain Square theater and several ad-
jacent buildings, causing a loss Of $S25,OOO'
with insurance Of two-thirds that sum.
The alarm came from the Fountain Square
theater, formerly known as Blacks opera
house. When the fremen responded they
found flames issuing from the rear OF
MitcheIl's plumbing establishment.
There was much delay in getting water
and very soon the theater and the Young
Mems Christian association building were
in flames. The falling of one wall Of the
theater crushed Mulholland's jewelry store
adjoining and killed three men.
Mr.. Mulholland and two men entered the
store before the wall fell to remove goods.
