COSTLY FIRE At ARSENAL
Flames Do Nearly Two Million Dol
lars Damage at Government
Plant in Rock Island.
OVER ONE MILLION SHELLS EXPLODE.
Fire-Fighters Compelled to Dodge
the BuIIets-Military Equipment
for the Army Was Stored in the
Burned BuiIding-BIaze Witnessed
by Thousands of Persons.

Rock Island, ILL.,, Feb. 12.-Shop A,
the principal issue storehouse at the
United States arsenal, was destroyed
by fire last night, together with it's
contents. 1t was filled with cavalry
and infantry equipments of every de-
scription and million rounds of
Krag-Jorgensen smokeIess ammuni-
ton. The contents were valued at
ST 500 900. The building was mas
sive structure, three stories in height,
and was erected 20 years ago at cost
of 100000
The fire was discovered at $3.50
O'Clock. The arsenal department be-
ing unable to cope with the fire, the
Rock Island and Davenport city de-
partments were called upon for assist
ance, and each sent two companies to
the island.
Like the Roar of Battle.
The exploding of the rifle ammuni-
ton for two hours maintained a con-
tinuous rattle of musketry resem-
bling a battle. The fire was fought
hard until the conditions became dan
gerous to life on account of the large
amount of ammunition in the burning
building. The building then was left
to it's fate, and all attention was de-
voted to saving the rest of the plant.
Mass of Goals.
The sight of the burning building
furnished a spectacle to thousands Of
people who lined the bluffs on both
sides of the Mississippi, in the midst
of which the arsenal lies on a beautiful
island. By midnight nothing was left
of the immense shop and all it had con-
tanned but a mass of glowing Goals.
The fire had burned itself out, destroy
ing one of the governments finest
storehouses and most valuable col
lection of equipment.
Busy with Large Orders.
The arsenal had been busy with
large orders recently, working 1900
men and advertising widely for ma
chinists to work on rush orders re-
ceived from the war department.
Most of the factory capacity is left
intact, but there is an immense gap
opened in the stores on hand by the
work of the flames. The new small
arms plant, equipped at cost of sew
eral millions of dollars and about
ready to turn out the new model OF
rifles, escaped the flames.
Cause of the Fire.
Mai. Blunt, Who has been in charge
of the arsenal for the last six years,
said the fire probably started from
defective electric wires. Electric
lights were installed in the building
but few days ago and it is thought
the wires may have become crossed.
The Rock Island arsenal covers 1000
acres of ground and employs more
than 1,4OO men. The main shop adj
