A DAY OF FIRES
 IN RENO NEVADA
The Last Disastrous One Believed to
 Be lneendiary.

Reno. May 15-A fire entailing a loss of s4O.OOO today almost com pletely destroyed the Manning build ing, Reno's biggest business struc- ture. For a time several other build ings in the vicinity were threatened. As a result of the fire, which lasted more than four hours, sensational de- velopments are expected. The fire was discovered in the basement of the building two hours before the last alarm was turned in.
 Mattresses stored in a second hand store were burning at that time. The blaze was quenched, ard the last fire. which destroyed the building, started in the same pile Of mattresses. An investigation is being made.
 A fire in the residence district early this morning totally destroyed one res idence, badly scorched another and burned three people so badly they are now in the hospital The burned were Mrs. Fred Robinson, Mrs. RObinson's son, aged seven. and w. F. Sickles.

 uity of J. R. Butler instead of work ing to his financial prosperity has got him into jail on the serious charge of obtaining money under false pre- lenses. He is accused of having thus acquired s1.00 from a Mrs. Conner yes terday and even if he eXculpates him self from croOkedness in the matter of his system he is still up against it for five cents, for according to his own confession he only claimed 95 cents of it was an honest hold up. He appeared at the lady's home with an outfit for taking photographs. sending them to a Chicago concern he purported to represent, where for 95 cents each they were to be stamp ed on pillow cases. Mrs. Conner in vested to the extent of one picture and handed over dollar. As But Ter had no change he kept the dol lar but wrote a receipt that he failed to sign. After he was gone Mrs. Conner discovered that fact and re- ported to the chief of police. He was arrested last night by Officer Trout man, being then considerably intoXi- cated. Questioned later he said he was only the understudy of a man he had been working for. that he merely forgot to sign the receipt and that his agency consisted in having read the firms catalogue which an- nounced that anybody could act as
