several days. The contention raised
by Thaw that he was "a tourist trav-
cling through Canada en- route to De-

HOT PR|NGs, Ark,
SWEPT BY FLAMES
COURT HOUSE. CITY HALL, JAIL,
AND HIGH SCHOOL AMONG
BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
THIRTY BLOCKS ARE IN RUINS
Fire Starting in Negro Cabin Is
Famed by 4o-MiIe-an.Hour Wind
and Is Soon Beyond Control of
Firemen and Volunteers.

Hot Springs, Ark.-Fire which
started in the southeastern Sec
ton of Hot Springs swept a path of
destruction seven blocks wide and Is
blocks long. destroying many Of the
principal hotels and public buildings.
The loss is estimated at more than
$4,000, 600. So far as can be learned
no persons have been sacrificed in
the flames, but many animals were
burned to death.
A gale of 80 to 40 miles velocity
famed the flames and swept them
through the L-shaped valley in which
the city is situated, and all efforts of
the Hot Springs FIRE department and
that of Little Rock, which arrived by
special train, to check the onrush
were unavailing.
The fire, which started in a negro
cabin, slowly died out at the foot of
West Mountain, the southern extrein-
ity of Hot Springs.
Hurry Call fer Outside Aid.
The fire started on Church street,
east of the government reservation
ard army and navy hospital. Sweep
ing enthusiastically, it burned fierce
ly, rapidly destroying the frame build
ings and shacks in the district.
When the rising wind shifted and
swept the flames in the direction of
the business and hotel region the city
officials sent hurried and urgent ap-
peals to Little Rock for aid.
The fire burned west on Malvern
avenue, destroying the Park hotel
and numerous wholesale houses.
Post Office Is Destroyed.
Again the gale shifted and the fire
was swept south, leveling the new
high school, post office, Auditorium
theater and Ozark s~anitarium.
Other buildings destroyed were the
Moody and Princess hotels, Garland
county court house, city hall and the
new city Jail.
The inmates of the Ozark santa
rum, which was destroyed, were all
safely moved to the st. Joseph in
Urinary.
Although no casualties were report
ed many persons were injured or
slightly burned.
With the destruction of the water
and light plants The city was plunged
in darkness at nighfall but for the
glare of the destructive flames.
More than 80 blocks of buildings
had been destroyed and the fire rap
idly approached the main business
district of Central and Ouachita e
nues.
A supreme effort of the fire fight
ers to divert the flames away from
the city's most %pretentlous residence
district met with success. 1t was the
purpose OF the firemen to sidetrack
the flames toward a suburb of South
Hot Springs.
When the wind again veered dyna-
mite was used TO coed effect in keep
ing the flames away from the Central
avenue district, and the fire seized
upon South Hot Springs as its prey.

Feedino Wheat to Hoes.

Fulton.-With half a corr crop in
