space of three hours Saturday after
noon. one of the best sections of the
residence district of this city was laid
waste by fire, one life was lost. six
persons were seriously injured, a
property loss of approximately ST.
900 900 inflicted and about 500 fami-
lies rendered homeless.
The fire started in barn on the
corner of May and Tucker streets on
the South Side, and famed by a gale,
which at the time reached the veloci-
ty of so miles an hour, swept north
east to the Texas and Pacific railroad
and east to the Santa Fee tracks. The
burned area is approximately one
and a half miles long and half
mile wide.
Three hundred and nine residences
were completely destroyed, four lum-
Der manufacturing plants, the Texas
and Pacific car shops, the Sawyer
Electrical Manufacturing plant and
five large warehouses. in addition to
three churches and one sanitarium,
were the business concerns of imper
lance destroyed.
J. J. Newton, recently connected
with bank In Fort Worth, lost his
life In the fire. His body was found
in the yard of his residence, but just
how he came to his death is I'M
known.
The Broadway Presbyterian and
the Broadway Baptist churches. both
handsome structures, were burned, as
was also the Reimers Memorial chap
ell attached to the Broadway Baptist
church. and the Swedish Lutheran
church.
The Texas and Pacific railroad was
the heaviest loser. It's roundhouse
repair shops. 90 engines, coal chutes,
etc, were burned. the total loss be-
ing estimated by General Manager
Thorne at 100000.
Many stories are told as to how
the fire originated, but the most gen.
orally credited account places the
blame upon a party of boys smoking
cigarettes in a barn.
The extreme dryness of the build
ings after drouth and a high wind,
rendered all efforts by the combined
fire departments OF Fort Worth and
Dallas to check the fire unavailihg,
and only the open space about the
Texas and Pacific tracks saved the
business district iron destru ction.
The burned district is part OF
the best residence section Of Fort
Worth, and in addition to the scores
of magnificent residences. also in
Guided the Texas and Pacific round
house and many substantial business
and manufacturing plants, the latter
being along the railroad tracks.
Heroic efforts we're made to con
troll the fire. The entire IRE depart
ments Of Fort Worth and North Fort
Worth were promptly on the scene
and in responre TO telephone appeal,
the Dallas fire department sent de-
tachment which came by special
train over the Texas and Pacihc In

finished their work here. when they
received an urgent call to return
