force of the city still is engaged In

Fire Started by Boys.
The boys are said to have started
the fire by dropping their cigarettes
into straw. The flames spread quick
ly, and the local department, realiz-
ing that the fire would be a big one,
telegraphed for aid to Dallas, thirty
miles away, and to Waco and
Weatherford.
So rapidly did the flames spread
that people living within a radius of
three blocks of the place of origin had
no time to save anything except the
clothing they wore. The fire, which
started at Jennings avenue and Peter
smith street, in a fashionable resi-
dence district, was not checked until
dynamite was resorted to, four hours
later.
A stiff wind was blowing and the
heat was so intense that the iremen
were driven back as the fire advanced.
Several times they were forced to
abandon their hose lines and several
thousand feet of hose were burned.
Burn T%hirty-two Blocks.
The flames, spreading to the south,
burned through thirty-two blocks and
continued until they had swept
through the yards of the Texas &
Pacific railroad, destroying the rail-
road buildings and a large amount of
rolling stock. where the fire practical
ly burned itself out.
The burned area is approximately
a mile and a half in length and a
half mile wide.
Today, it is declared, plans will be
made to rebuild the ire-swept district.
Yesterday morning citizens named re-
lief committees. However, because
the burned residence district was
populated largely by those in comfort
able circumstances, monetary relief
needed will be small.
