Puter homesteads in the CascaCe forest
reserve.
To secure the patents. Putcr said he
gave the late Senator Mitchell. at the

dollar bills. But this money was not
paid the Senator until after Hermann
had informed the witness that it would
be necessary to get additional proof be-
fore the patents for the twelve, home

1t was then that Puter. called on Sena-
tor Mitchell and said Il would be useless

LARGE FIRE IN NEW YORK.

Building on West 53rd Street De-
strOyed-FIames Spread to Tcne-
ment HOuses-POlice Services Call
el Out to Restore Order Among
. Panic stricken FamiIice-At 2:3O
O'Clock Fire was Spreading Rapidly.
New York, January Fire orig
mating in a business block on West
53rd street early today destroyed that
building and spreading TO adjoining
tenement houses on both sides Of the
street. gave the fire department a hard
fight Five alarms were sounded in
| quick succession, summOning al i'm
E amount of apparatus to the
scene, while hundreds of police reserves
were called TO restore order among the
families who fed in panic from the
burning tenements.
The firemen were badly handicapped
by low water pressure and were re
peatcdly driven back by the flames
which, spreading in every direction,
SCOT threatened The whole thiCkly
populated tenement section. A tene-
| ment on either side of the block We're
in flames before the occupants were
well out. Spreading to W tenenlents
at the rear. the fire for a time made
lively Roadway, while q strong north
easterly wind CARRIED burning m
bers to two other tenements which
were presently ablaze. Two fire boats
from the North river assisted. The
widest confusion followed among the
hundreds of tenants who, rudely avAk-
ened, rushed to the streets scantiIy
clad, and unreasonable with fear. The
police had the greatest difficulty IL
preventing a reckless sacrifice OF iife
among those who wished to return 20
their homes for their belongings.
At 2:10 the fire was gaining rapidly
with a possibility OF a conf1agTatlon.
The firemen could not then get within
100 feet of the fire and several engines
had been deserted.
At 2:15 O'Clock ten buildings were
destroyed or in flames.
The burning of the dieing establish
ment was accompanied by explosions OF
chemicals, rendering greater the danger
to the fremen and helping to spread
the flames.
In imminent DANCE" of his life PO-
licoman Patrick Sully made his way to
the top floor Of a burning tenement,
where he found a mother and six child
rem huddled together and helpless from
fear. Unaided and in repeated trips he
carried the whole family to the street
At $50 O'Clock the fire was spreading
and a hundred horses released from the
stable and ungovernable from fear were
r]o0Diro thrOuoh the adjacent streets.
To add to the confusion thieves began
footing burning tenements. They were
fired upon by the police but with what
effect could not be known.
Falling walls wrecked a water-towcI
and made fifty-third street in the vicin-
ity of the fire impossible All the po-
lice reserves on the Westside and extra
ambulances we're in attendance.
