SALVATION ARMY HOTEL
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Four Men Burned to Death and Prob
ably Thirty-five Injured.

Four Men Burned to Death and Prob
ably Thirty-five Injured.
ST. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 28.-FOur men
were burned to death and probably
35 injured in a fire early this morn
ing that practically destroyed the
Lighthouse Hotel, conducted by the
Salvation Army. Fully five hundred
men were asleep in the building when
the fire was discovered, the greater
third floors. All became panic strick-
en- before the firemen arrived and
could stretch nets, and many jumped
from upper windows and were pick
ed up crushed and unconscious on
the street below. Four of the dead
were not identified, as their bodies
were burned to a crisp.
The fire was discovered by William
O'Connell in a clothes closet, and it
soon spread throughout the building.
The closet had formerly been an ele-
vator shaft and caused a draft which
assisted in the rapid spread of the
flames. From every window could be
seen the forms of half naked men,
calling to the firemen in terror, and
few minutes later leaping to the
at the windows provided means of
escape for scores.
Terror took possession of the men,
and a number started to run on tle
streets as soon as they escaped from
the building. Thinly-clad, frenzied
men ran wildly until caught and TAX
en- in ambulances to places of shell
ter. Dozens more were sick from the
effect of smoke and gas inhaled. Some
men, apparently not hurt at all. were
crying abjectly, but unable to tell
what was the matter with them
About S5 were crowded into the base
ment sleeping when the fire was dis
covered. The door appeared to be
locked, but their cries attracted the
attention of policeman and when
the basement door was broken in
the men poured out like rats from
trap. The fire swept through the Sec
ond and third floors and damaged
the structure to an estimated extent
of $4,000. The cause of the fire was
not ascertained
Two of the injured who jumped
from windows died later in a hospi-
tai, and six others who jumped are
unconscious and not expected to live
The two who died in the hospital are
Oscar F. Davis, an old soldier of
Quincy, I'LL, and George D. Ross. The
following probably are fatally injur-
ed: Jas. Varley, Geo. M. Perry, Thos.
Walsh, Thos. Fleming, John Butler,

Getting information About Strike.


William B. Petit, of Washington
D. c., arrived in the city this morn
ing on a business visit.~He is a spe-
cial agent for the Bureau of Labor
and part of his mission here was to
get data and information concerning
the strike in the Daily Record Office
three and half years ago. The head
report to the effect that the Office
was closed at that time to avoid pay
ing demanded increase in wages.
The Bureau officials decided to inves-
tigate the case, inasmuch as some
other Roswell unions went to pieces
at about the same time. and learn
the real cause of the shutdown. The
people of Roswell remember the po-
Iitical fight that was the cause of the
shutdown, and Mr.. Petit was not
long in satisfying himself about the
matter.
The Daily Record now pays higher
wages to its printers than were ever
before paid to printers in Roswell.
1t is, and will remain, an open shop.
Just as leave employ union men as
non-union. But every man must stand
upon his Individual merits, and not
depend upon the influence of any
outside organization or walking dele
gate to hold his job for him.

Creamery Man Missing.

No trace of Emil Watz, the missing
creamery operator, has been discov-
cred. For some weeks he has wor-
ried necessarily over little difficulties
i'm the working of the machinery, and
to his wife he had signified an inten-

occasioned much surprise as he was
known to be a very efficient opera
tor He was easily agitated, but of
happy disposition. Family troubles
have been hinted at, but this Is with
out ground, as he was devoted nus
band and father. He was 32 years
old, tall and rather slight, and had
mass Of wavy brown hair, also a
brown mustache. Mrs. Watz is pros
trated and fears are entertained as
to her sanity She has neither slept
nor eaten since the disappearance OF
her husband. She believes that he
suddenly became insane and destroyed
himself.
A slight irregularity in his books
had occurred and this also worried
him considerably. However, the

BADLY HURT by LIVE WIRE.
Peculiar accident Occurs on Baker
COmMtN EnrEI.
,ssssssssssesssssssssssss

County fufii.
Earl Willitt was probably fatally
injured at the Eppinger ranch north
west OF Baker about noon by a cur
rent from a live wire caused by the
cable of hay derrick which had be-
come crossed In some way with the
electric light wires running into this
city from the Rock Creek power
house, says the Baker City Herald.
Willett in company with his father
had been moving the hay derrick
from where It had been in use, to
the Eppinger ranch.
A cable was connected with the top
of the derrick and Willett was guild
ing his cable in keeping the derrick
in place. When the accident occurred
he had allowed 1t to swing around the
derrick and the electric wires came
in contact The cable which had
been used for guiding the derrick
carried the current down through the
body of Willett, which received all Its
intense voltage.
So powerful was the shock that
the boy could not release himself
and the body clung convulsively to
the cable.' He was fearfully burned
by the force of the current.
They had just crossed the ditch
with the derrick and the father turn
ed and looked to see his sons hanc
smoking where it was being burned
by the electricity. He rushed TO nj
assistance and attempted to pull th'
boy off, only to be knocked dowI
himself by the shock. The horses
became frightened and ran away
pulNng the derrick pole away from
the live wire, and releasing younI
Winett from his perilous position.
According to the surgeon, the boy
eft arm Is almost burned off, on
finger of the left hand Is burned of
and his left leg and right side ar
badly burned also.
The father escaped with but sligh
injury except from the awful shock
