the part of the troops saved these, The garrison
at Fort Hancock responded promptly to the
alarm of fire and did what could be done to pre-
vent the spread OF the fire. There is no fire
engine at the post. however. or the fire might
have been extinguished before It consumed the
buildings.
The men who were at work in the various
buildings which were destroyed fed in time to
escape injury. The cause OF the fire is un-
known The loss has not yet been estimated.
Loud blasts from whistle called all hands
to the fire, which had started under the roof
OF the machine shop at the smokestaclz. Fort
Hancock also sounded an alarm by the firing
of guns and soon streams of water were brought
to bear on the rapidly spreading flames which
were fed by the dry woodwork and the oil
soaked floors.
Bucket brlgades were formed by soldiers
from the fort, while others broke down the
walls IN an effort 70 save as much aa possible
Of the machinery. Still others were detailed to
wet down buildings on which sparks were falling
and save them from destruction.

IT ANGERED MISS WOOD
SCHEME TO EVADE SERVICE OF
SUMMONS ON LOEB.

OMAHA, Neb., May 1O-Miss Mae Cath
crime Wood scared the Presidents train
and prevented 1t from coming through
Omaha At an obscure little way station
on the Union Pacific the presidential party
were switched on to the Northwestern rail-
road tracks and sent direct from Fremont,
Neb., to Missouri Valley, Iowa, crossing
the Missouri river at Blair Neb., and thus
saving the Presidents private secretary,
William Loeb, from being served with pa-
pers in the suit of Miss Wood against
Loeb, Wynne and Miller.
By making the cutoff the presidential
party saved about sixty miles in distance,
but abandoned the splendid gravel ballast
Union Pacific line road bed and the North
western double tracked magnificent line to
go over dirt ballast ed branch connecting
line and be in the end compelled to await
at Missouri Valley until the schedule time
for leaving that station on the Northwest
ern. However, Mr.. Loeb escaped being
served with the. summons to answer the
Mae Wood suit.
Miss Woods Statement.
Miss Wood was mad to say the least at
the change events have taken. They did
that: just to keep Loeb from being served
she said when told the train went over
another route and her papers were not
served.
They do not want this case to come to
trial because it will cause big sensat ton
and throw mud at number of political
favorites. But they will be back this way
when they go to the Portland exposition
and / will get Loeb then.
IF fail at that time l will dismiss suit
. in Omaha and bring it in some eastern city
where ! am sure of securing service"
The case was set for trial on June 5, but
will now have to be postponed until later
date.
Sheriff Was on Hand.
OMAHA, Neb., May 10.-Sherin Power Of
this county was on hand at the union sta
ton last night in anticipation Of the ar
rival Of President Rooosevelts train, with
the intention of serving on secretary Loeb

days ago against Mr.. Loeb, Robert j.
Wynne and J. Martin Miller, for $50 600
damages. The sheriff accepted the change
of route as a plan to avoid him, and said
he would not pursue the matter further at
this time.
