5 BUILDINGS BURNED;
TOTAL LOSS $15,8OO

TN one of the most spectacular fires
seen i'm Los Angeles for many
u years three buildings were reduced
to shells. two others slightly damaged,
the lives of nearly 100 Japanese jeop-
ardized and a loss of over $4,000 en-
tailed at Fourth ana Wall streets last
night.
Persons sought every point of van
tage from which to view the blaze.
Clarence Burkhardt. n candy manu-
facturer of 1914 Orange street, climbed
on top of building between Wall and
Los Angeles streets near Fourth and
fell through the roof. He was sent to
the receiving hospital and a three-inch
laceration on the back of his head and
a sprained wrist were dressed.
The fire originated in a shed in the
center of the building occupied by the
Los Angeles Wrecklng company, i'm
which was a box factory. a sash and
door factory and thousands of feet of
lumber. The owner of the wrecking
company, j. S. Barrett, who also con-
trolled the box and sash and window
factories, estimated his loss at $4,000.
He had no insurance.
The f. II. Anderson livery and board
ing stable north of the lumber yard
was damaged to the extent of $500.
The Sasaki Japanese rooming house,
All Wall street, was almost totally de-
stroyed, and the owner of the building,
A. Granas, 1101 Westlake avenue, es-
timated his loss at $4,000, with an es-
timated loss of $1,000 on the contents.
The Wiley lodging house, 421 Wall
street, was slightly damaged by fire,
most of the damage being from smoke
and water. and the proprietor, N. M.
Steward, placed his loss at 5000.
The building occupied by the Los
Angeles Wrecking company is owned
by a person living in Washington
whose name was not learned, and was
rented through the gency of Edward
D. Silent, and the loss is estimated at
$4,000.
Total Loss Figures $15,3oo
The Crescent creamery stable in the
rear of the lumber yard was ignited,
but the flames We're quickly extin-
guished with an estimated loss of $100,
bringing the estimated total damages
to $15,sOO.
All the buildings but one We're in
sured. The heaviest loser is Mr.. Bar
rett.
The buildings We're all of wooden
frame structure and an easy prey to
the flames. The origin of the fire is a
mystery, but it is the theory of the
police that tramps are responsible or
else it was set by boys. When PATROL
men Canto and Moser detected the
flames they saw two boys running

At the time of the accident the train

ascribe the wreck to striking a curve
at too high speed.

the rails. and engine and mail cai
rolled down forty feet into a culvert
The other cars turned over as they
cleared the rails, but did not go into

north on Wall street yelling Fire. -
But the fact that the fire started in a
shed in the building leads to the the
ory that tramps carclessly started the
confiagration.
The first alarm was followed quickly
by a second alarm as the fire gained
headWay rapidly. Within a few min
utes after the start the plant of the
wrecking company was doomed. The
patrolmen aroused the lodgers in the
Sasaki rooming house and the Wiley
house.
In the stable north of the wreclaing
plast were sixteen horses and twenty
five vehicles of various description.
Manager Edward Vosberg had left the
place a few minutes before the fire
started. The door of the stable was
broken in and the horses were all
taken out and led to adjacent stables.
All the vehicles and the harnesses were
saved.
In the stable of the Crescent Cream
cry company We're thirty-two horses,
all of which were removed without diff
ficulty. The fire burned in a southerly
direction. which fact doubtless saved
the sixteen horses in the Anderson
stable.
Japanese Escape Safely
The hasty exit of nearly 100 Japanese
men and women in the Sasaki room
ing house provided the humorous feat
ure of the fire. They ran pellmel to
the street without stopping to take any
of their belongings. deciding to save
their own lives at any cost. They
acted wisely. for shortly after the last
occupant. who roomed in the rear of
the second story, had left the building
the roof fell in with a crash that was
heard for blocks.
The occupants of the Wiley house
had time to remove all belongings
which were movable.
The work of the fire department was
excellent. ten streams of water being
at play fifteen minutes after the alarm
had been turned in. When the north
wall of the Sasaki building collapsed
it fell toward the street, several fire
men narrowly escaping injury.
II. SasaEi, proprietor of the Sasaki
rooming house, refused to leave the
burning house and was drenched He
was unable to estimate his loss.
Mr.. Barrett Saturday received $500
worth of shingles, all of which were
destroyed His loss, he stated. was at
least $4,000. He stated that there was
no fire of any kind in the building and
could give no explanation as to the
cause.
The Wiley house, owned by Mrs,
Grouse of Long Beach, was a three
story frame building, containing twen-

OF DESERT MEN
JAMES STEWART, VICTIM OF
TERRIBLE DEED, DIES
DiaboicaI Act Committed While
Three Companions Are Sleep
ing in Abandoned Rail-
road Building
Especial to The Heraldl

! SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 10. -
James Stewart. the discovercr of the
Calico mining district of san Ber-
nardino county, at one time the most
famous silver camp in the southwest,
is dead at Prescott Ariz., the victim
of one of the most fiendish acts in the
criminal annals of the desert.
While sleeping with two companions
in an abandoned railroad building at
Ash Fork some diabolical person en-
tered and, while the men slumbercd.
saturated their feet with kerosene, and
after gniting the oil, left them to
battle with the flames which were eat
! ing into the flesh of the almost help
less victims. Beating with their bare
hands the men made frantic efforts to
cXtinguish the fire that licked the
| flesh and ignited their clothing.
Stewart Received the worst injuries,
and when he finally pulled one Of his
blazing shoes from his foot the flesh
gave way. it had been so terribly
cooked.
Lingers for Six Weeks
For over six weeks after the terrible
affair. which occurred on November l.,
Stewart lay between life and death
in the hospital at Prescott, where he
was taken with his two companions
The flesh baked to a crisp on both
feet. Hope for his life was slight
from the first. and after weeks of
awful suffering he succumbed to his
injuries. One Of the other two men,
named Mccormick, was very severely
burned. but the third man has since
been able to continue his journey east,
Stewart with a companion, Lowery
Silver made the first strike at Calico
in 1881, and the rush that followed
was the greatest in the history of
the county. Stewards discovery was
made in a canyon which afterward
became known as Wall Street canyon
Together with his partner in the dis
coVery, Stewart was at one time rated
a millionaire, but lost his entire for
| tune IN the same camp where he made
it in a vain attempt to work the
mines in the face of great obstacles
and the drop in the price of silver.
Became Desert Roamer
Since that time he roamed about the
desert regions, interesting himself in
various mining deals. but finally, re-
duced to meager circumstances, he was
forced to work as miner and it was
while beating his way into New
| Mexico that the hendlSh person, whose
! identity is unknown, set fire to his
| feet.
Feeling runs high among Stewards
desert friends, who were his COM
panions for years, but there is little
chance of discovering the fiend. 1t is
the general impression that Santa Fe
railroad men are responsible for the
act, they having had trouble with
hobos camping in the building in
which Stewart and his two pals
sought protection for the night.
