HOTEL FIRE is FATAL TO ONE.
Two Others Were Seriously Burned
Near Wichita Falls, Saturday.

Wichita2 Fallas, Texas. Jim Flur-
ry. tool dresser, was burned
to death, Ed. Parkhurst was per
haps fatally burned. Mr.. Picks was
seriously burned and number of
others received injuries of a more or
less painful nature in the fire that
destroyed the Brewer Hotel in the
Miller oil field near Anarena, south
east of here Saturday. A number of
oil-feld workers who roomed in the
hotel saved their lives by jumping,
clad only in their night clothes. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
The hotel was a frame structure and
contained about forty rooms. 1t was
patronized entirely by oil-held work
ers, a majority Of whom slept on the
second floor. The entire lower part OF
the building was in flames before the
sleepers in the second floor discovered
the blaze. Furry was burned to death
in his room and Parkhurst and Picks
received their injuries while escaping
through the flames. Pankhurst and
Picks were taken to a camp In a near
by field, where they were cared for
and physicians were summoned from
Archer City and Olney. 1t is believ-
ed that the latter will recover. but
there is little hope for Parkhurst.

New York. When the steamer AL
lemania arrived in port recently a
thrilling story OF shipwreck and attack
by pirates was told by thirteen sail
ors OF the Italian Bark Genee, on
board the Allemania. and rescued by
the latter boat when In desperate
plight at Inagua. the Bahamas.
According to the story told by the
rescued sailors. the Genee set out
from Inagua on May 16. bound for
Marseilles, with costly cargo OF
hardwood, and when a short distance
out from port had encountered Sc
we're storm which carried them out
of their course and threatened to send
them to the bottom.
After working the pumps for sew
eral days, the crew was on the point
of deserving the bark and taking TO
the boats, when a number OF small
sailboats came alongside. and the oc-
cupants of these boats. numbering
more than 100, armed with guns and
revolvers, boarded the Genee and or
dered the crew to surrender. An at
tempt was made by the crew to scut-
tie the Genee, and fight ensued in
which the defenders were badly worst
ed. They were then ordered into the
small boats without water or provis-
ions.
After rowing aimlessly for two days
the crew of the Genee made land at
one OF the smaller Bahamas and hoist
ed signal of distress. which was
seen by the lookout on the steamer

A British revenue cutter was dispatch

their men not only with marked money,
but by telephone testimony and phon-

February, when rumors of graft in the

rious proportions.
Mayor william b. Thompson sought
the services of detectives and Andrew

ter the investigation was begun the
Wabash Railroad applied for the clos

application was held up in council for
time, Then suddenly the council
granted the application by vote Of sew

posed the measure.
