More than fifty residence had been
destroyed at that hour and more than

men we're hampered in fighting the
flames because of the severe storm,
which also added to the suffering of
those driven from their homes. The
loss probably will reach over half
million.
The. raging wind scattered sparks
in all directions. Before one blaze
could be placed under control a por-
ton OF the frie fighters would be
called to a new one. Citizens turned
out en- nasse and battled valiantly be-
side the firemen. At one time it was
feared that the entire city would be
swept by the blaze.
The path Of the fire was blocks
vide and the flames spread with such
rapidity that several times fircmen
trying to check their progress were
cut of and forced to abandon their
apparatus and flee. That there was no
loss Of life was due to the police who
rushed ahead Of the fire and warned
all Inmates of threatened property to
flee for their lives.
Few were permitted to save any.
thing from the danger zone. Instead
the women and children were hurried
by the police and citizens hurriedly
pressed into service, to places OF safe
ty in the parks and the open spaces
sof the town. The wind seemed to in
crease in volume as the day wore on
and carried the blazing embers blocks
