PLANT AT A STANDsTILL ON
ACCOUNT OF ITS RUINED
ENGINES.

ing Company affected BY the big fire
Of Thursday night that the disaster
will involve loss OF not less than
$2s;00O which, happidly is entirely
covered by insurance, the bulk Of
which is held by companies represent
ed in the agency Of Brennan Van
Dusen & Company, Of this city. The
real sum OF loss TO the brewing con-
Germ arising from the inevitable stop
page Of the big plant for the weeks
Il will take to restore it to full work
ing capacity.
The trade Of the concern will be
protected to the limit as there is a
reserve product in the vaults great
enough to cover four-months'
hiatus, provision always maintained
by this far-sighted establishment.
The fire originated in the boiler
room where Night Engineer John
Sarki presided, and was caused by
the fame OF lantern carried by him
coming into contact with an oil-jet
that broke from one Of the feeder
valves that had jammed and was be-
ing repaired. The engineer luckily
escaped the sudden whirlwind Of
flame that swept over the walls Of
the room and soon had that entire
section OF the plant in their grasp;
but no agency at hand could possibly
check the headway OF the FIRE and an
alarm was sent in instantly, to which
the entire department responded as
quickly as the long run could be COW
cred. Chief Foster and his men work
ed skilfully and swiftly and did all
that men and apparatus could do,
saving the main buildings of the big
plant Their work is thoroughly ap-
prcciatcd by Manager w. f.. Schimpf
and he is very free in his commenda-
tions Of all they did and the manner
OF its doing.
The boiler room and the engine
room were practically gutted, and the
big 35-ton Boyle rcfrigerating engine,
as well as the auxiliary engines, are
ruined beyond redemption short of
detailed ship treatment which amounts
to the rebuilding of the engines; the
boilers suffering from the same
agency Of disaster. cold water, with
which they were deluged in their
heated state, warping every active
element of the mechanism to the
point of utter disuse.
Mr.. Schimpf says the work OF
restoration will begin on the instant
the insurance people have adjusted
the losses and will be pushed to the
earliest conclusion compatible with
its scope, and that in the meantime
the extensive business will go for
ward as though nothing had hap
pensd.
This is the first serious fire Astoria
has experienced in long time, and

he sympathy of the business COM

Was Incendiary Fire

Some very ugly rumors are getting
into circulation concerning the big fire
at Hazen by which the entire business
part Of the town was wiped out of
existence. 1t is believed that there is
strong evidence that the fire was of
incendiary origin, and according to re-
port, the Southern Pacific detectives are
now looking diligently for certain
parties under suspicion 1t is known
that many tough characters have made
Hazen their holdout for u long time and
quite feeling of dislike and antag-
onisn has been brewing between some
of the gamblers of the place and among
the tough element. According to one
of the reports it is believed that can
of gasoline was deliberately emptied
and ignited out of pure malice with
the result that the town has been de-
stroyed. Detectives Taylor and Ahern
of the Southern Pacific staff are work
ing on the case. The railroad officials
of Sparks are sending number of
empty freight cars to Hazen to be
used by all railway employees as living
quarters until homes can be rebuilt. -

Hickey Fighting Indictments.

Driven closer and closer to tight
quarters, Thomas Benevolent Hickey
has now come forward and asks the
court of this district to give solar
plexus blow to the indictments charg-
ing him with embezzling the money of
T. Hally, who was a depositor in the
defunct State Bank and Trust company.
If there is anything within sheep
skin or buckskin that Judge Peck,
counsel for Hickey, has omitted to
include in his motion to squGGh the
indictments, it was an oversight The
grand jury is the object of the attack,
and technicalities galore are produced
in an effort to have the court set
Hickey free in Goldfield. Hickey even
raises the point brought mp several
times in the courts here. to the effect
that no twelve of the legally con-
stituted grand jurors concurred in the
Indictment.
District Attorney Swallow yestar-
day received two motions from Rick
ey's attorneys, which will soon he
argued here. One is a motion to set
aside the indictments, and the other
is Il motion to have demurrer al
lowed. -Goldfeld Tribune
