Once more are we forcibly remind
ed that our little city needs a water
works system. This morning a little
after 3 O'Clock, w. A. Douthit's big
transfer barn was discovered on fire.
The fire had evidently been burning
several minutes, as the entire back
portion of the building was beginning
to fall in when the fire was discovered.
There were ten head of horses in the
barn, nine of them belonging to Mr..
'Douthit and one to Mrs. Bert Duncan,
and it was impossible to save any of
them. The vehicles, which were in
the front part, were all gotten out ex-
cept one cab, which had wheel off
for repairs, and the baggage wagon.
The fire next took hold of the Dan
iels building, occupied by M. Doty's
grocery and Miller'S second hand store
and totally destroyed it. Almost all
the contents of the Doty store were
removed, and portion of the house.
hold goods of Mrs. Hemstreet, who
lived over the store. All of Miller'S
stock and household goods were de-
stroyed.
II looked for a while as if the fire
would spread to Mrs. Sour's hotel, but
the iron roof on that building saved
it. Had that building burned, large
part of the business section of the
town would have burned, too.

A VERY BAD FIRE.
Baxter Springs Suffers a Severe
Loss Because She Has no
Fire Protection.

The small chemical engine owned
by the city was used in an effort to
quench the flames, but the fire waStoo
big for it.
Mr.. Douthit saved only two of his
transfer horses, and they were at the
Frisco station. The losses are APP
proximately as follows:
MilIer's second hand store, $500; no
insurance.
w. A. Douthit, $4,000; no insur-
ance; had expired a short time ago.
Deininger estate, which owned the
barn building, 81 900; no insurance.
C. w. Daniels, building occupied
by Doty and Miller, $1,000; insur'
ance $1,000.
Mrs. Hemstreet, household goods,
SloU, NO lilSlldliCe.
L. B. Watson, groceries, $50; no
insurance.
N. Doty, fixtures, corn, ETC., $3.50;
insured with Daniels.
Baxter Springs needs water works.
This thing of standing idly by and
watching valuable taxable property 60
up in smoke is serious matter.
Mr.. Douthit will continue in the
transfer business. For the present
his phone is No. %.
Let's have fire protection.

College, Wichita. write a long'letter to
the Eagleswhich, for visionary imagi-
nation, Misrepresentation and. false
accusations is gem Of prevarication.
These young wopld-be harvest hands
were evidently some of the smarties
which'the officers interrupted in their
crap games, land they left this locality
sore because their Wichita ways were
not the. ways. that are tolerated in
Great BEND. e.
In writing of the assault on the
Socialist speaker, Reh, they say the
"citizens" served the eggs and CON-
mitted the assault; that the officers
acted as "hold ups" and the harvest
hands were treated as "outcasts," all
of which statements are grossly I'M
true, and reflection upon the good
management of our city and the good
sense of our citizens: ''

1t will be seen that Great Bends
