FIRE AT ROSSVILLE.
Flames Cause Loss Estimated
at From $4,000 to $4,000.
Explosion Wakes Light Sleep
ers, Saving Part .of Town.


s RossviIle, Kan, June 2S.-While 200
men fought to save their town from
destruction by fire early today, woner
worked rapidly enptyfng the buildings
Threatened by the flames. They re-
r1oved every article from the harness
store owned by William Aye.sthe Cless
fl rniture store. Dr.sz Miller ssofice anc
the Hartzen drug store
1t was in removing the contents of
the drug store that the women found
most excitement. Whiffs of camphol
and ammonia nearly caused a panic
Cnce or twice but the women worked
en-, for the most part coolly. and with
out any evidence of hysteria. And ev-
cry article removed by them was placed
where there was little danger of its
destruction in case the fire spread.
An explosion of fireworks in the rear
of the restaurant owned by G. w
griffith caused the fire. 1t was discoV-
cred soon after starting ana church
bells called the residents TO fight the
flames, The men fought bravely but
were Handicapped by lack of proper fire
fighting apparatus and experience This
is the first serious fire Rossyille has
experienced.
The heaviest losses are reported as
follows:
Fritz opera house, $4,000; Chess
hardware store, $4,000; Griffith res
taurant, building and stock, $4,000;
DR.. H. F. Pratt. $500.
But while the small buildings were
being saved the flames caught under
the iron roof of the Fritz opera house,
a building of which Rossville was
proud. Every effort to cxinguish the
fire was vain. Charles E. Cless be-
gan to remove his stock of hardware
and implements. He saved portion
of it. DR.. H. F. Pratt's office was COM
pletely destroyed
Every store on the west side of the
street was emptied as rapidly as pos
sible so that the stock would be safe.
The street this morning looked like an
immense store at invoicing time. The
fire was checked at Hartzells drug
store but not until after the stock was
moved into the street. William Aye,
harness man, saved his stock, fearing
the building would be destroyed, but it
was not. The front windows of DIR.
Miller's office were removed to get the
X-ray machine ready to be moved into
the street but this was not necessary
The fire was checked at the Peoples
State bank although the contents of
the bank were removed.
Water with which to fight the fire
was hauled from the Union Pacific
water tank in three wagons.
The fire was out at o'clock.
