swept the business district of Dur
ham was gotten under control at 8
o'clock this morning.
The blaze started at II o'clock last

erty and keeping the curious back
from the danger zone, where rem
nants of walls are threatening to fall.
While the fire was in progress there
were many thrilling escapes as build
ing after building collapsed. Several
fremen were injured, The work Of
fighting .he fire was made hazardous
by the explosion of powder and am
munition in hardware stores and
chemicals in the drug houses.
Fire companies were rushed here
o. special trains from Raleigh and
Greensboro, and aided the local de-
partment in checking the flames. The
work of the hremen was handicapped
by the bursting of a Dig water main

time. The electric power plant was
shut down during the night to pre-
vent accidents from live wires.
To-day's fire was the largest in the
history of Durham or this section CT

BERMEJILLO, STATE OF sONO-
RIA, MEXICO, March 24-(Constitu
tionalist Base)-A desperate battle
is being fought to-day between the
Constitutionalists and Federals for
possession of the strategic key OF
Gomez Palacio, a few miles north
west of Torreon.
A terrific concentrated attack was
made also upon the eastern and
southern sides of Torreon at day
break to- day by $500 Constitutional
lists under Generals Benavides and
Hernandez. Fierce fighting is going
on between rebels and Federals in
the irrigated plains between Gomez
Palaeio and TOrreon- on the west. The
northern outposts are being bonn
barded.
Throughout the greater part of the
night the conflict ragged at Gomez
Palacio, with the Constitutionalists
victorious in the first part of the
fight. The Federals were driven from
their trenches, but upon receiving
fresh reinforcements from Torreon
they made a fierce assault upon VIII
las army.
o-Hour Artillery Fight.
According to dispatches from the
front, the Constitutionalists occupied
the suburbs of Gomez Palacio at 9
o'clock last night, after 30 hours Of
long range fighting with artillery.
The artillery, under General Felipe
Angeles, chief artilerist of the rebel
army, succeeded in silencing the
heavy guns of the outer works OF the
Federals, and the order was given to
advance. With shells screaming over
their heads, the Constitutionalists
started forward in the darkness. Be-
hind and before them, the blackness
OF night was pierced by the contnu-
Gus lightning of the artillery. Amid
the rebel yell the Constitutionalists
poured over the fresh earthworks on
the outside of Gomez Palscio.

POSSE SAVES
MAN TREED
BY BRU|N
Mother Grizzly Succumbs to Fu-
siIIade After Chase in Grant
Park-Cubs Captured,

Following a night made traditional
ly hideous by a real bear hunt, full Of
revolver shots, horrid growls and
fearful shrieks by a pursued negro,
Dan Carey, Manager of Parks de-
bated what to do Tuesday morning
with the carcass of an entirely de-
funct grizzly bear and a very live
half-grown grizzly cub, installed 40
feet above the earth in a tree at Grant
Park.
The grizzly bear and one of her two
cubs escaped Monday night and made
no end of trouble before she finally
succumbed to successive volleys of
revolver bullets by police posse.
When the mother bear got away,
Russell Chapman, a negro attendant
at the zoo, set boldly out in pursuit.
He fancied the bear would stand up
on her hind legs and welcome him as
q friend, the same as she was accus-
toned to do at feeding time.
Negro Climbs Tree.
When he reached the bear, how
ever, Chapman was Mortified to dis
cover in his ex-protege a hitherto
dormant affinity for dark meat. AS
soon as he was apprsed of this cir
cumstance, Chapman snapped places
with the supposed quarry and exc
cuted an amazingly rapid flank move
ment.
In his haste, the negro was guilty
of a tactical error. He climbed a
tree. which is one of the best things
bear does.
Mrs. Bruin began to emulate the
example of her erstwhile friend and
mentor, and Chapman, leaping from
limb to limb with an agility that went
far to substantiate the Darwinian
theory, began to arouse the neighbor-
hood.
