from an overturned lamp, seemed to
envelop the entire building in one
mass of flame. 1t was almost impos-
sible to save anything from the third
story. where the proprietor and his
family and the help slept. The guests
on the second floor escaped with but
slight bruises.
AS soon as the ruins cooled off res
cuing hands were at work to remove
the unfortunate ones from the ruins.
Mrs. Hofmann and her baby were the
first to be removed. They were lying
on a mattress. Nothing but the trunks
Of the bodies could be found. This
was true of all the victims.
The burned hotel was three-story
structure containing twenty or more
rooms. A tramp named McDavitt, who
had reached here just before the fire
broke out, saved the lives of four wo-
men, all of whom had been overcome
In the rooms by smoke. He carried
them to windows and dropped them
into the arms of people waiting below.
