BRIGHT BLAZE
IN HOTEL AWNING
Careless Smoker Causes Alarm
Among Guests and
Spectators.

Due probably to a cigarette stump
cast out of tho window by some care
less guest of the hotel, tho awning
above the door of the Hub store in
Murphy's Annex. suddenly blazed up
yesterday afternoon and produced not
a little excitement as great cloud
OF smoke swept over the front of the
hotel. 1t took but few seconds. how
over, to find that the fire was con-
fined to the awning, and could have no
effect on the building itself, Quite a
crowd gathered and felt repaid for
the trouble, after watching the
igrotesque efforts of several bell boys
who tumbled out on the hre-escape
with eXtinguishers which shot their
harmless little streams first on the
spectators and then against the house
side, Meanwhile the busy little blaze
ate into the roll of dry canvas.
After seeing that the fro would prob
ably die our for want of moro fuel,
with such a poor band of lighters, an
lemploye of the hotel called man from
the Fire Department, who trotted up
with ono OF the departments hand ex-
tinguishels and got to work. The BELL
hons caught on, and In few minutes
IT was all over, though the squirting
continued for some time, so that not
even a spark was left. No alarm OF
tire was turned IN.

OUR POPULATION
|SAB0UT 127,500
Careful Estimates Place Increase
at 50 Per Cent. for Past
Ten Years.
LITTLE INCREASE IN AREA
Business Manager Dabney, OF
Chamber, Certain Figures
Are Not Far Wrong.
LITTLE INCREASE IN AREA

Although there is no intimation as
to when the census figures for Rich
mond will be issued, inside facts picked
up by those who have been studying
the question indicate that the govern
ment will show that the population OF
this city is about $4,000.
That would mean an increase of so
per cent. within the past ten years. the
1900 census placing the population of
Richmond at $1,000.
That Of itself is not regarded as slow
growth. The area of this city, with
Manchester or South Richmond, in
Guided, is less than eleven square miles.
The area Of Atlanta, with population
With that area, taking in all the sub
urbs. conservative estimates show that
Richmond would probably exceed the
Georgia city in actual population.
According to Special Accountant
George 8. Crenshaw, Richmond's exact
area within the corporate limits is
TOPS acres, or little less than eleven
square miles. The bed of James River
within the city limits is approximately
one square mile, making Richnond's
area for purposes Of comparison APP
proXimately ten square miles, as COM
pared with Atlanta's twenty-six, Des
Moiness ffty-four, Dallas's eighteen.
Duluth's sixty-seven. Erie's seventy
two, Fall Rivers forty-one and San
Antonio's thirty-six square miles
Just Dabney's Estimate.
William r. Dabney, business manager
of the Chamber of Commerce, said yes
terday that the organization which he
represents has been particularly anx-
ious to have the Richmond figures made
public by the Census Bureau, but that
Director Durand had been unable to
predict when they might be available.
Indeed, 1t was said that the statement
had not been compiled.
Mr.. Dabney was asked If he thought
the population would get around
127.5oo.
why. that is exactly my estimate"
he said. Some of our people have be-
lieved that the figures would far ex-
coed that mark, though 1t was expect
ing too much. I should be greatly sur
prised If they fall below 127,5O0. But
you must bear in mind this fact. If
we had continued to reach out and ex-
pand ten years ago as rapidly as we
have during the past three years.
there is no telling what we might not
be able to show. Then when you con-
slider our very small area-ten square
miles-you will see that we have a COM
pact business city. Richmond doesn't
take in any corn fields. Within the
next ten years all of these suburbs
around the city will be in reality n
part of 1t. and then the figures will he

I WO IN j u R { D
BY PISTOL BALL
"Unloaded" Revolver Goes Off,
Injuring Owner and Fourteen-
Year-Old Companion.

Thinking that his revolver was un-
loaded, R. l. Gary. of s11 North fwen4
ty-sixth Street, yesterday afternoon
shot both himself and Morton Henry
fourteen years OLD, of 10s South Lom-
hardy Street. Neither was seriously
injured.
The accident occurred behind the
new pumphouse where Gary had been
practiclng at target with an Iyer-
Johnson. of 32-calibre. A crowd of his
friends was standing near watching
him shoot. Having fred all the saots,
as he thought, Gary broke his pistol
and threw out the cartridges. But one
stuck, and then he placed his hand
over the muzzle and pulled the ,rig>
ger.
There was report, Gary felt a
singing pain in his left hand, and
Henry, who was standing opposite him.
staggered back. The bullet had Passed
through Gary's hand and struck Henry
in the left hip.
The wounded boy was kept quiet uns
til the arrival of the city ambulance,
with DR.. Hagan in charge. The physl-
clan took both to the City Hospital,
where Henry was placed in bed. Gsry'a
wound was dressed, and he was taken
to the Second Station. where. upon sur
rendering himself, he was locked un
until he could be bailed. 1t was some
hours before he could manage to get
bail. as Judge Witt is out OF town. and
Justice Crutchfield could not be-
reached.
Henry's wound is said not to be ses
rious. The bullet ranged downward
and is just below the skin. An oper-
alton for the removal OF the bullet
will probably be made to-day. me
