RENO, Aug. 26.--The town of
Hazen, on the Southern Pacific rail-

yesterday afternoon which started in
the rear of the postoffice. The only
building left standing in the business
district is the new depot and eating
house. All mail for Tonopah, Cold

stroyed.
The flames were discovered at
o'clock in the rear of the postoffice,
and strong wind made all efforts of
the local citizens of no avail in check

is estimated at about 5000, 900.
The people of Hazen are all home

Fallon to secure food and shelter. 1t
was thought that two lives had been
lost, but this report has not been ver-

was destroyed, the postmaster not
even saving the keys to his safe.
A relief train from Sparks arrived
in Hazen at o'clock tonight and
brought several Of the shelterless wo-

ARMY MEN RAISE
funds FOR HAMS
(By Associated Press. }

a
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.A fund OF
$1,000 Is being raised by United
States army officers, according to q
report tonight, to be applied to the
defense Of Captain Hains and Thorn
ton Jenkins Hains.
Within the last three days officers
Of various forts have called upon
General Peter Hains, father Of the
prisoners, and assured him that the
army men are deeply in sympathy
with his sons and are eager to aid In
getting them ou. Of their predica-
ment.
The gigantic fund was started last
week and already, according to the
report, considerably more than $780,
900 has been pledged. 1t is doubtful
If anything approaching $1,000, 600
will be required for the defense, but
the army men have set that as the
amount to be raised.
John F. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
the defense, was asked If any further
advances had been made by Mrs.
Hains or her counsel tending toward
a reconciliation with her husband.
There have been none excepting
the first intimation that reached me, .
he replied. II do not expect that
Mrs. Hams will be witness for the
defense unless the situation changes. =
Mcintyre said he doubted If the
state would call Mrs. Hains. but add
ed that II it did the defense would
certainly put her through severe
cross examination in an effort tc
make her reveal all her relations
with Annis.
Captain Hams received his army
uniform from Fort Hancock today
When he shot Annis he wore civilian
clothes Although accused OF murder
by the state Captain Hams status al
a soldier remains unimpaired.
Strict orders have been issued By
the war department at Washington
against allowing Mrs. Hains within
the Fort Hancock reservation. The
war department acted after receiving
word from the quarters OF Genera
Hains.
Upon her visit to the fort last weeh
Mrs. Hams. after making a desperate
effort, failed to secure even a sigh
of the three children. She was refus
ed admittance to General Hains
quarters. D
AS a result of the order from
Washington the strong guard sur
rounding Fort Hancock has been in
creased.
