FEAR OF FIRE
CAUSES PANIC
MANY WOMEN AND GIRLS
FRIGHTENED, LEAP TO DEATH
FROM WINDOWS.

CLEVELAND, July 3.-More than a
score of young girls were seriously in
iured by jumping from windows in the
upper floors of Krege's five and ten
cent store in a fire panic at noon today,
in which probably a hundred persons
were slightly injured. The store was
crowded when the fire started and a
wild stampede followed. The stairs
leading from the upper floors were
blocked and the fire spread repidly,
causing a great volume of smoke. The
girls who leaped We're evidently fright
ened out of their minds.
The firemen were in the act Of pre-
pairing nets when most of them leaped.
Many were unconscious when picked
up
The fire was caused by the explosion
of a patent torch during the demons
tration in the fireworks department.
One of the sales ladies overturned some
fireworks on a table and the explosion
occurred at the same time. A spark
flew into some combustibles. Fire
crackers let go and other fireworks sent
streams of flames into the crowd OF
shoppers. Twenty-Five women escaped
down fire escapes and twenty girls
iumped from windows. Bodies found in
the basement were unrecognizable, De
ing horribly burned Many of the IN
iured were small children who were
in the store buying fire crackers. More
than a hundred were injured.
When the firemen forced their way
into the burning building, six bodies
were found in the basement. hve De-
ing women AMI one boy. They were
evidently suffocated in their efforts 10

TO ANXIOUS
FOR THE JOB
THAT is WHY THE PRESIDENT
DID NOT BOOST COLONEL
SYMONS.

WASHINGTON. July 3.-The persist
ency of Senator Bourne, of Oregon, and
Mrs. Symons, wife of Colonel Thomas
Symons, it is learned today, cost the
colonel the position of chief of engi-
neers to which Col w. l.. Marshall has
been appointed. When he sought sue
cessor to General Mackenzie the pres
ident looked favorably upon Colonel
Sy1nons. The latter's wife thought IL
would be we'll to clinch the matter by
enlisting Bourne and she commenced
a bombardment of the White House.
Although the president intimated he
would appreciate peace the Symons
boomers kept UP continuous fire, and
as a result Marshall got the position.

All Ready for
the Big Fight
this Afternoon

Yesterday Larry Gordon and Kid
Krant put the finishing touches to
their training, which was of light
nature, and now are already for the
twenty-round boxing match which
comes off at O'Clock this afternoon
at the Big Arena. Krant INDUCED in
rope jumping, weight pulling, bag
punching and also boxed two rounds
with Kid Crawford. Gordon only did
few brief stunts with the rope,
weights and bag and little shadow
of condition and there is no doubt
but that the mill will be one of the
best that has taken place in 1onopah
for some time. Speculation is rife
as to who will be the winner, for it
is an impossiblity to make a predic-
ton from the past records of both
men, who each have long list of
victories to their credit.
Every ticket issued for the contest
entities the holder to membership
in the Tonopah Athletic club, which
is under the management of James
Kelly. Reports received yesterday
indicate that the house will be rec
ord-breaking one and the Goldfield
sports have chartered special train,
which will arrive here at 1890 this
a A lop -
field newspapermen have also signi-
fed their intention to be present, as
both fighters are well and favorably
known in the southern city.
Jack McDonough, the popular ref
cree, of Goldfield, will decide who
will bring home the turkey. Mr.. Nc
Donough is probably the best known
sporting man in southern Nevada
and his decisions have never been
questioned 1t will be remembered
that it was Jack McDonough who
refereed the Mustain-Sullivan scrap
and it was he who warned Sullivan
not to loaf during the fight This
was when Sullivan had adopted the
loafing tactics and intended to finish
the last round in a strong condition.
The preliminary between George
Odell and Kid Crawford will be a
hot number, and will start promptly
at 2 O'Clock. There will be a large
number of ladies present and the
management guarantees that all will
be treated in corteous manner. The
returns from the Ketchel-Papke
fight will be received at the ringside

CONTRIBUTING
GANG IS ROUNDED
UP At GOLDFIELD

GOLDFIELD, Nov. 25.-one of
the cleverest Investigations in. the
history of the city was completed
last evening by Deputy Sheriff Jack
Sweeney and William Kelly, when
they booked Jack Russell, manager
for Peter Jackson, the pugilist, and
Frank Ironsides, alias "Scotty," in
Jail on the charge of counterfeiting.
The two men, according to the of
ficers, will have tremendous lot of
explaining to do when their hearing
arrives. In the home of Russell,
near Seventh and Miner streets, late
last night, complete outfit for the
manufacture of spurious coins was
unearthed. Ironsides was taken to
the Russell home, being known as
Russell's friend, and the result of
the investigation was highly crafty
ing. Almost every known appurten-
ance for the manufacture of spurious
coin was in evidence, including
moulds, dies, acids, blowers, plaster
of paris, etc. There were also found
three bogus 81 pieces. There is evil
dence that considerable of the phony
coin has been spread over the city.
The Russell home also disclosed
the paraphernalia of a short card
man, including mechanical device
for clever hold-up. Not only this,
but Sweeney and Kelly found crook
