PKEE LOSE LIVES IN BOW
MAN HOTEL FIRE.

A most disastrous fire resulting in
the death of two people, occurred at
Bowman early New Years morning.
The fire which is supposed to have
started from a gasoline explosion in
the barber shop adjoining the Ster-
ling Hotel, was first discovered by
R. A. Herzig, proprietor of the ho-
tel, about six O'Clock in the morning.
He was aroused by peculiar noise,
and Fastening from his room he
found the entire front part of the
hotel in flames. He at once rushed
through the halls hammering on
doors and arousing the inmates.
Whe: he had warned all of the
guests he hurried to the apartments
back of the kitchen where the hotel
help were soundly sleeping. BY this
time commotion and excitement
reigned everywhere. People were
escaping from the heat and deadlier
smoke by jumping from windows or
running through the halls to the
back stairway. In this way all made
their escape except Merritt McPhee,
son of a prominent farmer south
east of the city and William Con-
molly, brother of the Connolly boys
of the Hettinger County Herald at
New England. n 3d.. 49,
McPhee, who only a few hours be-
fore had seen his parents and young
er brother on the east bound flyer
for some point in Minnesota where
his brother intended entering school,
together with Carl Lee, son OF
Hans Lee a farmer north of town,
was occupying room Number 16.
McPhee seemingly was the first to
learn Of the danger He Immediately
awoke Lee, and little later ran out
into the hall. This was the last seen
OF him until his body was found later
in the day under the bath tub. He
had evidently fallen while attempting
to make his way through the fame
choked hall. Lee escaped unhurt by
jumping from the window.
