POLICE AT FIRE
Claim That There Was no Protec-
ton at the Big Temple
ton Blaze.
LooTERS BROKE IN THE DOORS
No Figures Yet Forthcoming on the
Losscs--Somc incidents of the
Panic ON Saturday.

1t Will be several days before the
actual loss at the FIRE on Saturday att
ernoon in the Templcton building is
determined but It Is quito certain that
the losses are not nearly so great as
at first reported
For instance. Drs. Wnddell. Van Colt.
( Anderson and Cannon. whose offices
S@ere on tho Fifth floor, did not lose
(! anything worth mentioning. There are
many others who supposed t-eir prop
z crty Was destroyed, but who found that
B no damage TO speak OF had been done.
Since the fire It has been discovered
that looters were at work after the
blaze was under control. a number OF
men who represented themselves as
telephone llpemen entered the building
aud broke IN some OF the doors. When
asked by firemen what they were doing.
they replied they were there for the
purpose OF tearing out telephones \
number OF phones were ripped from tbs
walls after the fire was out by the sup
posed linemen. There was no occasion
for doing this at the time, but It fur
nished good excuse fer looters TO en-
ter rooms and steal anything OF value
that might have heen left during the
excitement.
Members of the fire department de-

means OF knowing whether or not these
men were telephone company employees
or mere thieves. Firemen also COM
planned OF the lack of police assistance
alleging that the fire limos were not
properly drawn and that too many per-
Sons were admitted to tho building,
Crowds were ON each floor and. In their
'rattied" state OF mind got In the way
of the fire fighters and kept turning the
water ON from the stand pipe on each
floor.
Shortly after the fire was out, O. c.
Beebo, cashier for the Zion's Savings
bank, called at department headquar-
tiers and presented the boys" with "A
check for 500, az a token of apprecia-
ton from the directors of the bank for
the work done by the department. The
500 was deposited In the fund used for
disabled fireinen.
It has been agreed between Mr.. Beebe
and CHIEF Vail, that the tenants Will
take an inventory OF their property and
determine as soon as possible the loss
each sustained, and report the same to
Mr.. Beebe. When the list liz completed.
MIR. Beebe will give the complete state
ment to Chief Vail 30 that the latter can
enter the losses ON the department ree-
ords.
1t Is safe to say that the actual loss
40 the building proper, viii be less than
$4,000. and the greatest damage done
WAS caused by water,
