The fire broke out in a dwelling occupied by a negro family on Church street and was soon com municated to surrounding houses. Because of the prolonged drouth in the southwest all buildings in the city were Cry as t11.uer anu tne flames rapidly ate their way from block to block, leaping the streets despite the attempts of the firemen to hold them back.
 When it was soon apparent that the local fire department would be unable to cope with the 1onfiagra tion an appeal for help was sent to , Little Rock. the state capital. Ap- paratus and firemen were immediate y dispatched here on a special train.
 After the flames had swept the poor residence section they began to lick up the business structures along Malvern avenue. The Schitz Brewery agency was the first to go. The Swift Company's packing plant was next attacked and then in rapid succession the Ozark Sanitarium and the new High School buildings were burned.
 The heat from the large buildings burning was so great that the firemen were steadily driven back. The in- mates of the Ozark Sanitarium were removed to safety before the build ing caught fire. but it was only d short time after this rescue work had been finished that the firemen had to yield ground, to save their own lives.
 Jefferson Hotels were in flames. The guests had received plenty of warn ing but even after the first flames showed on these structures, per- sons were hurrying from tlie doors. At first it was believed that only the southwestern section of the city would be burned, but when the city water plant was destroyed the efforts of the firemen in their des- perate fight to save part of the busi- ness section and the better residence portion appeared hopeless.
 Business men rushed to their of- fees to save valuable papers and fled to safety only as their buildings took fire. Residents of all sections
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1913-09-06

of the city fled from their homes, carrying what property they could.
 Vehicles Of every description were pressed into service to carry house. hold goods to safety.
 When the power plant was burned and all the city electric lights went out, conditions throughout the city bordcrcd on a panic. The entire police force, day and night, were ordered on duty and special officers were enrolled to help preserve order and prevent footing.
 As the flames swept on their light dispelled the darkness caused by the lack of electric lights and in their. light the flight of the citizens of the city could De seen going on in every street.

ern Union building, and the long the flames. It is impossible at this time to estimate the loss
 There were no casualties reported but a number of persons were injured.
 At 9 o'clock the fire was somewhat under control. Considerable blasting with dynamite is being done and from early estimate it is believed the property loss will reach twelve million dollars.
 Everything is in such a state of up roar and excitement tonight officials cannot learn fatalities. The city is in total darkness. Mayor Bloom, of Pine Bluff, was among one of the first to offer his fire fighting brigade and whatever equipment needed
 Mayor McLendon at 10 p. m. esti- mated the loss from six to ten mil lion.
 By that time forty blocks had been burned and there seemed to be no possibility of checking the fire before it burned itself out against the West Mountain.
 A dispatch was received from Gov ernor George w. Hays late tonight, saying he would leave Little Rock at once and that he would call out the state militia if necessary.

The fire originated on Church street about three or four blocks east of the Government Reservation and near the Army and Navy Hospital. It swept southeast away from the hos pital and reservation for an hour, when the rising wind shifted in di- reCtion and carried, it again in the di rection of the business section, taking the public utilities plant and every business structure on Malvern avenue. Crossing Malvern avenue the fire tarium and the beautiful High School building, when the shift wind current again carried the flames to Ouachita avenue, sweeping a wide pathway, de- stroying the Garland county court house and for a time seriously threat ening to turn back in its path and sweep down the main business sec- tion of Central and Ouachita avenues. By heroic efforts of the Hot Springs and Little Rock fire departments, the latter having arrived by special train, the fire was kept from turning back on Central avenue, but there was no checking the flames in the direction the wind was carrying it and build ing after building was destroyed in the space of few minutes
  checked, sweeping southwesterly in the direction of the district known as South Hot Springs or Jamestown.
 Following are some of the principal buildings destroyed within short space of two and half hours:

 CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH. GARLAND COUNTY COURT HOUSE MOODY HOTEL.
 SIGLER APARTMENTS,

 BIJOU RINK, and an unknown number of business blocks, smaller business buildings and residences, many of them in palatial residence section.
 At S:15 o'clock the wind was abat- ing and the fury of the fire was slightly abated, but it is still burning in section composed of frame houses, two blocks from the heart of the business district, near the Vest

FIRE OF GREAT
 INTEREST HERE Pine Bluffians Kept Inform ed of Big Conflagration
 By the Graphic.
MAYOR BLOOM ACTS
Wires Mayor McLendon That Fire tp- paratus is at His Disposal On
 Specia! Train.

News of the Hot Springs fire spread rapidly in Pine Bluff last night and from o'clock until way after midnight the telephones in the Graphic office were kept ringing, local citizens making anxious inquir- ies regarding it's extent and serious ness. Hundreds of local citizens crowded into the Graphic office throughout the evening and were given details regarding the big con- flagaton Rev. c. F. J. Tate of Hot Springs, who was in the Graphic of flee kept the visitors informed as to the territory covered and the direc- tion in which the flames were sweep ing, naming the various buildings and residences within it's path
 The Graphic posted bulletins at various places over the city and had them read to audiences in moving picture shows, where the Hot Springs fire was the chief topic.
 Many Pine Bluffians have relatives and intimate friends .n the Valley of Vapors and they were anxious to get news of the fire on this account. Mrs. Charles Parker formerly Miss Bru- nette Altschul, telegraphed J. s. Alt schul and family early in the even ing that her home with contents had been destroyed and that she and her family would leave for Pine Bluff this morning. Mrs. Alton Walker wired her mother Mrs. Kaufman, of Beech street, that she was safe. Alderman w. B. SOrrells and Mrs. w. l.. Dewoody have relatives at Hot Springs, but they are safe. M. L. ElKins made anxious inquiry, as his family is at present at Hot Springs. Mrs. Sidney Veil received telegram from her relatives, the Fellheimer family, stating that their home had been destroyed. Mary other mes- sages of a similar nature were re- ceived by Pine Bluffians.
 
 Mayor Simon Bloom was one of the first mayors in the state to offer assistance. He wired Mayor Me Lendon at Hot Springs that Pine Bluffs fire fighting apparatus was at his command and that he would send it to Hot Springs on a special train, with any other assistance needed This message was sent to Hot Springs before the appeal was sent to Little Rock Chief Breiner, of the Fire Department, will go to Hot Springs this morning, to render any assistance he can to the department there.
 The fire in Hot Springs covered practically the same sections of the city and added sections swept py the big conflagration in 1906.
 Many Pine Bluffians are already arranging to go to Hot Springs to- night an dtomorrow to view the burned districts. No few will go in automobiles. Others will leave this morning for the stricken city.
