Blaze.

The most disastrous fire In the his
tory of Adrian occurred early Monday
morning when the plant of the Lion
Motor company was badly destroyed.
causing the death of one man, seri-
Gus injuries to another, and a money
loss estimated at 100000, of which
$4,000 is covered by insurance.
Three hundred men are thrown out
of employment and valuable models
of 1912 cars destroyed.
Night Waterman w c Knapp dis
covered the fire at o'clock
in the final assembly room
in the south end of the plant, which
was one block long He at once tele-
phoned the fire department, which re-
sponded promptly. When the first of
the apparatus reached the scene of
the fire had worked it's way into the
paint shop and flames were leaping
100 feet in the air.
Poor water pressure, it is said,
handicapped the firemen when they
first reached the plant. BY the time
the first stream was turned on the
fire had worked into the western
end of the building and the whole
structure was a roaring furnace. At
this juncture several explosions
shook the building. At intervals
of a few seconds barrels or tanks
of oil, varnish or other highly COM
bustible materials, it is supposed,
exploded from the intense heat, add
ing to the danger and uncertainty
which confronted the firemen.
At 3 o'clock Capt. Christian
Schoen, Fireman Leo Robb and
others of the department were at
the northeast corner of the factory
making a last desperate attempt to
stem the food of fire. They had
concentrated their efforts on the
machine shop in an attempt to save
at least a portion of the valuable
machinery.
From the crowd went up a cry,
THE wallis falling" Most of the
men jumped at the first call, but
Schoen and Robb hesitated just a
second too long. The tottering wall
swept over on them, burying them
beneath a mass of mortar and bricks.
Unmindful of the danger from a
section of the wall which remained
Upright. though dangerously weak
ened, their comrades rushed into the
debris, while others played streams
or water on the Wnlle-noI Wrech-
age Within a few minutes the
body of Capt Schoen was dug out.
Tenderly he was lifted on an i'm
provised stretcher and carried away,
while men and women in the crowd
who had known him for many years
silently wept.
A few minutes later Robb was
found, literally buried under what
seemed tons of debris. He was I'M
conscious, and not until after he
had been taken to the hospital did
he recover his senses.

Cattle Shortage Denied by bureau.

In a statement issued the depart
ment of commerce and labor takes
direct issue with the dealers associa-
ton which holds that the advance In
price of meats Is due to a shortage
of cattle. Not since 1907, according
to the department, haye- receipts Of
cattle been SO great as In April of
this year. In their statement the
dealers said: THE rise in prices Is
due to a shortage in shipments from
the west. The production of native
steers is said, to be 25 per cent less
than it was a year ago. The con-
sumner is bearing the brunt of these
conditions" AS to the receipt OF
hogs the report states: "The receipts
in April of this year for hogs show
a considerable increase, and the num-
Der of sheep received is likewise
greater than the number received In
any April during the past decade"
