FRESNO BLOCK
RAzED BY FIRE
Flames Sweep Through Man
ufacturing District and
Cause Extensive Damage
FIREMEN ARE INJURED
Several Planning Mills Are
Destroyed and Loss Will
Reach an Immense Sum

FRESNO, July 11-Fire. the hottest
and most destructive ever in this city,
burned a block Of manufacturing
buildings here this afternoon. The fire
started at 2 o'clock, and in an hour
damage to the extent of $225, GOO had
been done The biggest loser was the
Madary Planning Mill Company, in
whose SHOP the fire started. The loss
of this company was $4,000 Firemen
fought the fire from behind drenched
blankets. Buildings on three sides of
the burning block were scorched and
were kept from igniting only by the
continual efforts of the firemen.
The fire started by a spark from an
engine in Madary mill. 1t lit in bed
of shavings and in a seconds time from
the time the Tirst flame was discovered
the whole building was afame. Men
had not time to take their tools from
the benches with them. An alarm was
turned in and the whole fire depart
ment was on the spot in four minutes
time, but like wild fire the flames had
spread and cnveloped buildings ad-
joining. Great credit is given the fire
department for the work it did Three
of the men were overcome by the heat
and had tc be dragged from the smoke.
The block destroyed is bounded by
Kern, Inyo, II and 1 streets and is sur
rounded by buildings of light material.
Repeatedly these buildings were
aflame. One brick building, occupied
by McKay's livery stable, was the only
structure in the block not destroyed.
The losing firms were as follows:
Madary Planning Mill Company, $780,
600; anderson Furniture Mandatory,

AT THE CHUTES
Claude Alexander Is Under
Arrest for Beating Will

VICTIM ASKS FOR COIN
Assailant Locks Door to
Prevent Escape Before
Beginning His Brutality
VICTIM ASKS FOR COIN

Professor" Claude Alexander, the
man with "the greatest illusion on
earth is confined at the Park police
station on a charge of assault to do
great bodily harm on the person of
William Nicholson. Alexander's vic
tim had his wounds dressed at the
Park Emergency Hospital and was
lat~' taken to his home at 7O6 Sixth
avenue.
Alexander has been operating "Argo"
at the Chutes and, according to the
story told by Nicholson to the police.
is a man of strong blows as well as
strong lungs. Nicholson says he has
worked for Alexander for some time,
but was told yesterday that his wages
were to be reduced. Last night he
asked Alexander for the money then
due him, intending to quit. Alexander
asked him to agree TO remain until
after the crowd had left the grounds
and Nicholson consented. He was told
to go into the room of mystery where
the body of young woman is lifted
from coffin in such a realistic man
ner that chills of terror creep up and
down the spines Of timid spectators.
In that uncanny department Alexander
assaulted him, having first locked the
door to prevent any escape. Nicholson
says Alexander repeatedly knocked
him down and kicked him until uncon-
sciousness took all the pain from his
senses. Alexander became frightened
at the continued stupor of his victim
and dashed water in his face to revive
him. AS soon as Nicholson could get
out he proceeded to the Park Emer-
gency Hospital where he had his
wounds dressed and notified the police.
Alexander does not deny that he as
saulted Nicholson, but gives as a rea-
son that the young man had been ex-
posing the mystery of the illusion and
spelling the attraction. Alexander had
the exclusive concession for the de-
ceptive freak and had made 1t one Of
the attractions at the Chutes.
The management of the Chutes an
nounced last night that even If Alex
ander was not convicted for his as
sault on Nicholson, he could not con-
tinue his show within the grounds.

ST. LOUIS, July 11.-After three con-

members of the executive committee of
the Populist party with prominent
Bryan Democrats who are dissatisfied,
not so much with the platform as with
the Presidential nomination by the
Democratic National Convention, line
of action for the coming campaign has
been agreed upon
This statement is given upon the au-
thority Of George Washburn of Bos-
ton, now treasurer of the Populist par
ty, who, with several members of the
national executive committee of that
party, has been in ST. Louis attending
the Democratic National Convention.
Washburn, when asked to divulge the
names of some of his associates in the
conference. refused to make them
known. The extent of the movement
and the names Of those engaged in it,
he said. would be made public when
the call for the national conference
was issued and their prominence, he
said, would be a surprise A number
of those present in the conference,
Washburn said, were Missourians,
while others were from Parker's own
State
Commenting on Judge Parker's NOM
ination, Washburn said:
Next to Cleveland, the Populists
most desired the nomination of Parker.
His nomination emphasizes the part
ing Of the ways of the allied forces and
will help immensely to restore the Pop
ulist party to its former strength and
effectiveness"
