MIDNIGHT FIRE CAUSES
SEVERE SUFFERING
IN DENVER
Women and Children Rescued
From Flames to Be Car
Tied Into Snow.
FIFTY WERE SAVED
BY HEROIC FIREMEN

Denver, Colo. Dec. IA fire
which broke out In the Tamale block,
Eleventh and Larimer streets, this
city, shortly after midnight endan-
gered the lives of fifty people living
in upper stories.
Thirty women and children, clad
only In night robes and hysterical
with fear, were carried out of the
building by policemen and firemen.
No lives were lost, but fatalities may
result from exposure. Snow falling
and the weather was extremely cold.
The origin of the fire Is not known,
but 1t Is believed to have started
from an overheated stove on the low
er floor. II had gained considerable
headway when discovered and was
prevented from spreading to the ad-
Joining buildings with great difficulty.
The severeness of the weather made
the work OF the firemen extremely
difficult. There were many heroic
rescues and many narrow escapes. In
several instances. IL was with the ut
most difficulty that the officers pre-
vented frenzied women from jump
ing from windows on the second and
third stories The fire was smothered
and nearly all of those rescued were
carried through sitting smoke into
the open air. Several firemen are i'll
as a result of getting wet and ex-
posure. Water thrown on the fire,
which did strike in the immediate
proximity with the flames froze on
the building, 50 cold was 1t.
While the lower floor was gutted,
the walls of the building stood and
much of the furniture of the upper
stories was saved and is not damaged
beyond being wet. The damage is
estimated at $1,000.

ENTOMDEO MINERS GET
FOOD THROUGH SIX
INCH PIPE

Ely, New, Dec. 17.-Nearly a thou
sand feet down in the shaft of the
Alpha mine, where they have been
imprisoned for ten days, a mine SUI
perintendent and two workmen seem
fated to remain several days longer.
The reScuers were discouraged
some today by slight movement of
ground near the original cavein and
1t is feared that another slide Is to
follow and that the work of rescue
viii have to be stopped until the
slipping can be stopped.
The entombed men are supplied
with water and food through a six
inch pipe but should another slide
occur. their position would be very
grave.

CONDUCTORS FOR NEW
TRAIN HAVE been
ANNOUNCED

Superintendent Myers, of the Rio

announced the conductors for the
new train service of the New Mex
leo Eastern railroad. which goes on
tomorrow morning.
Conductor ]. NJ. Harrison, will
take the first train out. Conductor
E. j. Ittreim will take out the train
that leaves here Thursday morning
and Conductor Chas. Watlington is
the other conductor. All of them
will make their home in Albuquer-
que.
The announcement made yester-
day to the effect that mail service
would go on with the first train was
a mistake. There will be no mall
clerk on the train but II is believed
that pouch mail. made up at the To-
cal postoffice, will be carried and
that this service will have to suffice
until the department sees fit to es-
tablish railway mall service.

puVnacIty of Rats.

A glove manufacturer took from a cabinet handsome pair of brown gloves. These gloves are made o' ratskiu." he said. They look well at first glance. but examine them care fully. Look into the skin. The skin, though soft and fine, revealed on close examination a great many cuts and scars and scratches. None of these went quite through. Nevertheless their effect was to weaken the gloves great E. Those cuts and scars" said the munufacturer "are what bar ratskiu out of glovemaklug. You never get a skin without them; hence you cant turn the damaged skin into a good glove. Rats fight so much that they become at an early age a mass of scars. Their torn hides are of no use to commerce."
