Started in Basement of
George NaSSar's
Grocery.
GRATES HIT AGAIN
GiIIen's Hardware Stock Almost Ruined
Second and Third Stories Contained
Old GOSewisch Furniture.

Lexington had another big fire yes
terday morning when the stocks of
Gillen's hardware store and Geo.
Nassar's grocery store we're almost
totally destroyed by flames which
we're discovered at4:40. Gratz Broth
ers' department store was also badly
damaged by water,
The alarm was sounded at 20 min
utes to and the department arrived
early. The flames started in the base
ment of Nassar's grocery, where many
cases of matches we're stored. The
fremen experienced great difficulty
in fighting the flames as they we're
confined under the basement stair
way. They had to knock in the back
door through which to put their hose.
At first the night pressure was on
and little could be done until the
water plant was notified. BY the
time the pressure was sufficient, the
flames had climbed the stairway
leading to the second floor and on up
to the third. Again the fire had to
be fought from the outside, the. fire.
men, this time, using the second
story windows. The exterior Of the
building was only slightly damaged,
but the fire played havoc with the
interior. While the stock of Nassau
was burned out, that of Gillen's and
Gratz Bros. suffered damage
from the deluge of water which came
through the ceilings and walls The
tiremen made brave fight consider
ing bow hard the flames we're to
reach.
Nassar's stock of groceries, valued
at between six and seven thousand
dollars, is completely destroyed. 1t
was partially insured.
Gillen's splendid stock of hardware
is almost a total loss. A perfect river
of water flowed through his store and
the only things which escaped it
we're few articles taken out be-
forehand. His stock, which was one
of the best in town, was worth $500
and is insured for $500.
The amount of GRATIS loss cannot
be ascertained as yet but it is sup
posed to be very large. The shoe de-
partment was not damaged any TO
speak of but the clothing stock was
deluged with water. A small portion
of the stock, slightly damaged, was
taken out.
The building occupied by Messrs.
Gillen and Nasser, is owned by DR..
W. a. Gosewlsch of Los Angeles,
California. Mr.. Gillen will resume
business at once with what stock that
he has, in the building formerly oc-
cupied by Kriehn and Wilker.
The furniture of the old GOsewisch
family was still on the second and
third floors and is complete loss.
The building Is fully insured.

AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE
Sheriff Peacock Gets Much Wanted
Crook in Houston, Texas.

Sheriff Winfield S. Peacock has re-
turned from Houston, Texas, with
John Dawson alias William Gerod, an
al round crook known to almost
every police p a r IN n
in the larger cities of the West.
Mr.. Peacock went to Texas
after this man on information sup
piled by Chief Ahern of the Kansas
City police force. The sheriff went
TO Jefferson City last week and Sc
cured the requisition papers from
Governor Hadley and left immed
lately for Texas to present them to
the Governor of that state. Dawson
was being held by the sheriff of Har-
ris county, Texas, on the charge of
having assaulted and robbed the
sheriff of a diamond stud.
Many people living IN this county
will probably recall the name of John
Dawson in connection with the series
of crimes committed during the cOun-
ty fair at Higginsville three years "a
go. Dawson, a criminal with re-
cord made in FIVE states, drifted into
Higginsville while the fair was on
and began a series of hold-ups and
pocket pickings. He practloed his
profession for the most part upon the
incoming ana outgoing c. & A. and
Mo. Pacific trains. The officials
made every effort to efec. his cap
ture and finally he fell into the hands
of Sheriff Charles Kinkead. Mr..
Kinkead was taking him to Kansas
City when Dawson attempted to es-
cape by jumping from the train. His
leg was broken in the attempt and
Dawson was taken to a Kansas City
hospital from which he escaped be
fore the officers could re-arrest him.
The prosecuting Iattorney and
sheriff Of this county, assisted by the
Kansas City police department, have
been on the lookout ever since but
nothing was heard of him until the
telegram came announcing his ar
rest in Texas.
