Just what loss of life there was is
not known. The fremen did not lose
any Of their number. although several
of the men We're overcome by smoke,
and several were badly burned. Three
watchmen were missing. and it is be-
lieved that some tenement dwellerS
who were in the path Of the flames
also were burned.
The fire was finally checked by the

ing raZed. This created q vacant space.
added to the width of the street, and
here the firemen made a determined
