Disastrous Fire
Wipes Out Hosiery
Ere Bug Deals Out Effective Blow;
$4,000 Loss Sustained When
Hotel Is Burned Down.

Fire totally destroyed the Grand
Hotel and Bar early Sunday morn
ing causing heavy loss to the
owner. The origin Of the fire is
not known, but it is persistently
rumored that it was started by
parties who harbored i'll feelings
against the place.
The FIRE when first discovered,
was coming from the rear OF the
building and in close proximity to
the barroom, and in few moments
the bar was a mass of flames, fol-
lowing which the hotel was devour-
ed by the flames leaving but heap
of ruins and smouldering embers.
Nothing but a few personal ef-
fects we're taken from the burning
building. The saloon carried no
insurance, its policy having expir-
ed about thirty days ago. The ho-
tel was fully insured, carrying in
the vicinity Of So, 500 insurance.
The loss to the owner of the
building and furnishings, Mr.. Wer-
sonick of Ration, will approximate
$4,000, while the loss of J. A. Proc
tor in wines, liquors and cigars is
$4,000. The News is informed that
Mr.. Proctor will erect a modern
building in the near future.
One year ago last May unknown
parties attempted to set the build
ing on fire, but before the flames
had advanced very far, they we're
extinRuished by the occupants Of
the hotel. This time however the
fire was discovered too late and the
result is as stated.
That a 6rebug exists in this vi
cinity is now the concensus OF
opinion OF the majority OF the peo-
pie here, and that steps should he
taken by the town authorities to
bring the parties to Justice is the
only course left by which the own
ers of property can be relieved from
the strain of anxiety for the safety
OF their property either day or
night. The News is reliably in
formed that several insurance com
panies will cancel their policies in
Cimarron at once.

Smoking Meat.

Meat that is to be smoked should be
removed from the brine q day before
being put into the smokehouse. Il It
has been cured In a strong brine It
will be best to soak the pieces IN cold
water overnight to prevent q crust OF
salt from forming on the outside when
it is drained. The pieces should then
be hung up to drain, then hung in the

pended below the ventilators and
should hang so that no two pieces come
in contact, as this would prevent uni
form smoking.

THOUSAND-DOLLAR BILL
FLYING AROUND in AIR
Negro Janitor Grabs 1t and Is a
Moneyed Man Until the Police
Nab Him.
NOW OWNER HAS 1T BACK

On January Is nice new 1000 bill.
fresh and crisp, lay for a few minutes
on the floor OF the Oxford Office building.
Fourteenth street and New York avenue
northwest
1t lay there until William Fry, the
colored watchman Of the building
CHANGED by, and when George w. STAN
ton. a real estate broker with Offices in
the Woodward Building came back to see
IL he could find any trace Of the purse
containing a s1,c00 bill. that he thought
he had dropped near the elevator, there
was no one to be found that had seen
anything of such a purse.
He did not report the loss OF the fine,
fat bill to the police. He hoped that
he might be able to regain it without any
publicity. But .othing came of his ef-
forts, and last night he laid his case
before Lieut.. James Hartley, in charge
of detectives.
On the morning of January 20 Detect
i've Sergeants Beckley and Carroll, COL
ored. came to Inspector Boardman and
told him that a colored man had been
seen flashing" a 1900 bill, but as no
loss Of that amount had been reported to
the police nothing was done in the
matter.
Last night, however. when Mr.. Stanton
told his story the two detectives were
sent out to get the man. They returned
with Fry. At first he was reluctant to
admit that he was a monied han, but he
finally confessed that he had found the
money; had deposited 1t in a bank in
another city, and had been checking
against it.
The name Of the bank is withheld by
the police, as they wish to be first on
the ground this morning, but II Is said
that Fry has used little out Of his ac-
count and that, figuratively, Mr.. STAN
ton will get his 1900 bill back almost
intact.
