without opposition.

To test the matter still further the

by Seigel & Co. in Butte and properly

proof here that they were in league with

RENO LANDMARK
MASS OF RUINS
Palace Hotel and Gambling
House Reduced to Ashes
in Short Order.

Reno. New, March Fire starting
about o'clock today. it is supposed
from an overheated fue in an upper
room of the Arcade hotel on CONNER
cial row, quickly communicated to the
Palace hotel ana gambling house, owned
10y Jim May, on the corner of CONNER
ciai row and Center streets, and in an
hour the old landmark and notorious
gaming place was level with the street
and the Arcade hotel a smouldering
mass of ruins.
The WashOe saloon and restaurant,
adjoining the Arcade on the right, was
completely wrecked and the contents
destroyed.
The loss will approach 100000 very
closely, partly covered by insurance.
Mitchell e Sherman, in the Palace
lose $4,000, with no insurance, their
policy lapsing less than d month ago.
Strenuous work on the part of the
firemen confined the blaze to the three
places mentioned. For time it was
feared that the Overland hotel, opposite
the Palace, and the Golden block, imme-
diately adjoining on the rear would go,
No attempt was made to save any of
the contents of the buildings except fif-
ty barrels of whisky in the Palace eel
lar. Water was turned into the cellar
and the barrels were quickly sub
merged.
Several Men injured,
Several men were more or less hurt
by flying boards and falling brick. One
fireman was painfully bruised by being
knocked down a fight of stairs on being
struck by the full force of hose.
Four unknown men MADE a thrilling
rescue of Miss Pearl Foley, who had
been asleep in one of the rooms of the
Palace. After throwing several articles
of no value from the window she col
lapsed and lay helpless on the sill, while
the flames whirled behind her. Before
ladder could be raised the young men
rushed forward and, swinging one upon
the other, reached Miss Foley and con-
veyed her to the street through a flame
filled stairway. This act was wildly
cheered by the big crowd.
The Palace gambling house was one
of the Oldest and most noted resorts in
the entire west. 1t has been the scene
of many spectacular plays, one OF the
most noted being made by its present
owner. Jim May. One night, two years
ago, after a run of hard luck, May final
ly put a $1,000 bill on No. on the
roulette wheel and won S35, 900. in lieu
of cash he was given an interest in the
games, since which time he has ac-
quired the building.
