HOT SPRINGS, ARK,
SUFFERS LOSS
OF S4,OOO,OOO
Thirty Blocks In Heart OF
City Burned
GALE TANNED THE FLAMES
Fire Originated In Negro Cabin
and Swept Through Heart
of City.
GALE TANNED THE FLAMES

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 6.-More
than 80 blocks on the eastern edge
of the business district of Hot
Springs, had been swept clean last
night by a fire which at 9 o'clock
threatened to eat its way toward
Central avenue, the main business
thoroughfare. A high wind was
blowing and the Hot Springs and
Little Rock fire departments had
made but little Roadway in checking
the flames. At o'clock Sidney Dill
len. commissioner of public utilities.
estimated that at least $4,00OOOO OF
property had been destroyed
At 10 o'clock indications were that
the fire would burn itself out at the
foot of West mountain after de-
stroying the greater part OF the
South Hot Springs residence district
Various estimates of the probable
monetary loss range from S6,OO0,OOO
to $4,000 900. At 10 o'clock the VIM
began to subside.
The fire originated in Negro
dwelling on Church street near NAL
vera avenue, just east of the Army
and Navy hospital, soon after 3 o.
clock yesterday afternoon and spread
quickly to the south and east. a
number of small dwellings, dry as
tinder as a result of an extended
drcuth were easy prey for the
flames, which within a few minutes
were beyond control of the local fire
department. From this region the
fire spread to a manufacturing sec
ton, then to a pretentious residence
and hotel district, and at 9 O'Clock
the shifting winds threatened TO
carry the flames TO the main business
section. A supreme effort was made
to divert the fire toward the suburb
of South Hot Springs, when it was
apparent that efforts to control IT
would be unavailing.
At o'clock this effort appeared to
be meeting with some success.
Among the buildings destroyed were
the city's light, water and power
plants, the county courthouse, the
Park, jefferson, Princess and Moody
hotels, the city high school, Iron
Mountain railroad station and shops,
Osark sanitarium, Peoples laundry,

sides a hundred or more business
buildings and many residences, in
Guiding some OF the best in the city.
No fatalities had been reported.
Fifteen minutes after the fire start
ed it was beyond the control of the
Hot Springs fire-fghting force and
aid was asked Of Little Rock Speci-
al trains carried additional apparatus
from that city, but water, dynamite
and every available means of fighting
fire had failed to check the flames six
hours after the fire started. Fire
men many times endeavored to des-
troy buildings. yet untouched, but the
flames swept over the partially wreck
ed buildings and broke out in new
places.
AT times early in the night the
gale reached a velocity of 40 miles
an hour and three times the shifting
wind currents changed the course of
the fire. Twice it was headed for the
main business district, the last time
Just before 9 O'Clock. when by the
free use of dynamite the combined
fire-fghting force succeeded in divert
ing the course of the fire toward
South Hot Springs.
