BAD FIRE AT CHENEY.
Nearly All of the Business Houses on
Principal Street Destroyed.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 5.-Fire at Che
ney Friday destroyed property to the
amount of $40, 200. 1t is estimated that
the total Insurance on the buildings
and merchandise destroyed will not be
over $4,000.
Beginning on the west side of the
principal business street in the frame
building adjoining the Cheney Drug
nompany's store, the fire swept north
and destroyed nearly all the business
houses on that side OF the street.
Within an hour after the fire was dis
covered it had enveloped the row of
frame buildings Immediately north of
the starting point and hope of saving
any of the stores in the path of the
flames was soon abandoned
1t Is believed the fire started in the
William M Parham harness shop,
which was located in frame building
The flames were discovered by a man
who was passing the shop. He gave
the alarm by ringing a church bell
Following is list of the buildings

walls scaled badly and in cooling will
probably buckle"
Many plate glass windows across the
street are a total loss.
M. l. Shamrock and family lived in
their store in the burned district They
were asleep when the fire broke out
and had narrow escape. The fire had
advanced to their store before they
were aware of their danger.

FORTY BURIED ALIVE.
Earth Slide in a Railway Cut in
Germany.

3inge. Hesse, Jan. 5.-Forty work
men were buried yesterday evening in
the cutting of a new railway line be-
tween Lamscheid and Leiningen. The
dead bodies of thirteen of the men and
fifteen injured workmen have been re-
covered. An embankment had col
lapsed, burying two men. To rescue
them large parties of other laborers
employed along the line were imme-
diately set to work and a wide pit was
dug in which were about fifty men,
when the overhanging hillside fell,
burying forty of the laborers under
masses of earth. Those who were not
buried began to dig. Their comrades
were sent to villages asking for help.
Several physicians and large force
of workmen were sent to the scene of
the disaster. The rescue work which
was continued throughout the night
was dangerous owing to the possibility
of fresh masses of earth falling on the
laborers. Most of the workmen killed
were young men. Among the injured
are three children. 1t is probable that
there are still fifteen bodies beneath
the fallen earth.
