HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND.

Vinita, Okla, Dec. THE Buffing-
ton Hotel and the Friend-Harris-
Shanahan building burned this af-
ternoon in a fire that was caused by
an explosion of gas.
Four men we're badly injured by
the falling walls. They are S. E.
Wallen, Harry L. Bagdy, John Ma
honey and Clarence Musser. They
were assisting in fighting the flames.
All will recover.
The fire started from a gas eXplo-
sion in the Houck Undertaking Par
lors and caught the pine floor joints
between the metal ceiling of the low
er floor and the second story floors.
The metal ceiling blaffled all of the
efforts of the fire department, and
the fire soon spread to the adjoin-
ing buildings. The buildings destroy
ed were the newest in Vinita, and
were recently completed at a cost
of about $4,000. This with the loss
of all the tenants, will, 1t is esti-
mated, reach $15O,OOO on which there
was not more than $4,000 insur-
ance.
