IOWA HOTEL. BURNED
Nine Lives Lost in the Clifton
House at Cedar Rapids.
Forty Two Others Injured-Sic,ims Were
Chiefly Delegates TO Two susie Con-
vensiOss-RoeeI Was = kega-
lar Fire Tran

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Feb. s1.-Nine
lives, according to the best informa-
ton obtainable under difficulties,
were lost in q fire which yesterday
morning destroyed the Clifton hotel
in this city The fire started at 2: so
o'clock and for" several hours the
debris furnished so fierce q heat that
search for the bodies was impossible.
Two persons were fatally injured and
a score or more injured more or less
severely, mostly by jumping from
windows. The. hotel, a three-story
brick veneer structure, is said to have
been veritable firetrap. The flames
started in a pile of rubbish in the
basement. presumably ignited by de-
fectiye electric light wires. The night
clerk was. on the third floor when the
cry of fire. raised by a Q bell boy,
startled him. He took up the cry and
in an instant the Railways were
cholSed with frightened guests. A
rush was made for the stairways.
It was then. that the crowd already
collected in the street heard heart
rending cries of anguish and des-
peration for the fire, feeding raven
ously on. the .tinder-like material of
the lower floor, had completely cut
OF escape. Then followed a stampede
for the windows, the only means of
exit left. The victims were literally
driven by the flames to jump. Near
" every one OF them fingered to the
last moment. urged by the people be-
low to- wait as long as possible in
the hope Of assistance. Then . cry
would tell that the fire had reached
them, or the smoke had made it i'm
possible to breathe, and one after
another jumped, some to the street
and some, more fortunate, to the
roofs Of the buildings adjoining. In
short space Of time the street was
filed with men and women, bruised,
battered, broken-imbed and half
craZed.
The proprietor Of the hotel placed
his estimate on the number of Peo-
pie in the hotel at between 20 and 30.
Many of them were delegates to the
state convention Of the Young Mems
Christian association. Those who
were first to escape, where they were
not too severely injured. stood for
some time barefooted in the snow,
chained to the spot and rendered un-
conscious OF the cold by the horror
of the scene
