valuable property went Up in smoke Fri
day night in the most disastrous confa-
grafton that Sioux City, Ia. has ever
sustained. One life is known to have
been lost
Approximately two-thirds of the losses
are covered by insurance.
The devastating blaze originated in the
basement of the Massachusetts block at
Fourth and Jackson Streets at $40
o'clock.
The Pelletier Dry Goods Companys
store was crowded with Christmas shop
pcr< when suddenly there was heard an
explosion. A bright flame sprung up and
ia Il few seconds had enveloped the whole
front part of the building. The toys and
infammable goods which Uttered the
show windows were soon mass of blaze
and before the fire department could ar
rive on the scene the whole building was
Il terrible holocaust.
The strong west wind which was blow
ing roared through the tall building and
the flames soon spanned Jackson Street
10 the east, tapping with greedy tongues
the tall Toy building. In fifteen minutes
after the inception of the fire the Toy
building had caught and the firemen were
unable to cope with its terrible fury.
Famed by the strong wintry wind it
would not denied. 1t seized within its
not grasp that magnificent structure and
soon there was no hope to save it.
TO the south the devouring flames made
their way from the front of the Massa-
chusetts block and the apartments oc-
'.upied by Browns Business College was
in it's terrible thrali. The three upper
floors in the rear Of the Peletier build
ing were occupied by families. There
were about seventy-fve roomerS there.
The progress of the flames was so rapid
that many of these had hard time in
escaping with their lives.
\ fire escape was the friend in need
and down this. down five stories through
smoke and flame, men, women and chill
dren wendell their way to safety with
the brave firemen acting as helpers 1t
is thought that all of the occupants es-
capped. but nothing definite is known at
this time. One man was caught asleep
and did not awake until too late. The
fi.e escape was cut off by seething flames
He appeared at a fourth story window.
The firemen brought the net and he
Jumped He missed the net by six inches
His bones crunched us he hit the bricks
below.
Nothing could stay the progress Of the
flames. They would not be denied their
prey They tapped fercely everything
that came in sight. They leaped alleys
and streets, jumping in devouring glee
from one building to another. They
burned brick as if it were kindling and
steel was the same as pine knots.
The fire swept an area of two blocks
Oh the south side or Fourth Street. be-
tween Jackson Street and Pierce Street.
and the half block across Jackson Street
To the east, upon which stood the mag
nificent seven-story Toy building and an
mex.
The Pelletier store, which was in the
Massachusetts building, owned by the
Massachusetts, Real Estate Company. of
Boston and Sioux City, was completely
destroyed.
In the path of the flames stood the

Ralph was a great big boy, nearly three years of age, and had never re- ceived a name, being called "Baby." Pet" Love" etc. Finally the name for the small man was decided upon. and. dressed in his Sunday best. he went to church with father and mother. where he was to be baptized. As the ministered repeated "I baptize thee. Ralph Edward" he dipped his fingers into the font and touched the child's forehead with the shining drops. How important Ralph Edward felt At last he was somebody.
 By supper time his face was sadly in need of washing, but when mother started to wash her sons brow he cried out in dismay:

tSpecial 10 ReVleW.)
 Tucson, May 3.-The case of the rerIlto.y against Bert Noftz was call ed in the District Court this morning, and resumed from where it closed last night. Both the Territory and the defense closed their testimony at 5 o'clock this evening, and the argu- ment set for tomorrow morning at 3 o'clock, one hour being allowed each side. The evidence introduced today was largely circumstantial. and the prosecution was unable to prove that any of their witnesses who saw the robbers masked recognized them as Noftz and James. The alleged comics sion Of Bert Noftz, said to have been made at Cananea while Noftz was con
 fined in the jail at that place, was in trcduced, but the >stendant, who later took the stand, testified that most of it was written at the 6ictation of Asche, and was not in his handwriting. Both Noftz and James testified that they left Bisbee at 9:30 iD the evening of the murder being committed. arriving al Naco at 1:30, and went the follow ing day to Cananea. The testimony of Mildred Ray was excluded by the court as immaterial. The defense at toTneys made a hard attempt to show that the witnesses for the prosecution had received money from L. C. Shat tuck, anc that they were to be paid a certain amount of money if the con viction of the defendants was secured The trial of James will immediately follow the closing of the arguments in the case tomorrow morning.
