in value, consequently the loss was
small. It is said that the building in
the rear Of the Bridge Bar that was
destroyed contained number Of slot
machines and other gambling devices
which were stored when the anti-gam-
bling law became effective II this
was the case, the loss was small, as
fixtures Of this kind are worthless
in this state under the present stat
utes. The entire loss at the Bridge
Bar was about 5000.
The loss Of the hardware material
and the warehouse that contained it
was covered by insurance. Damage
done amounted to $500.
The E. Romero Hose and Fire com
pany deserves praise for its work.
These men showed themselves to be
professionals in fire fighting and
worked faithfully until the flames
We're extinguished. Through their ef-
ficient work the new building that is
being built by Ludwig Ilfeld. on the
lots adjoining the Bridge Bar, was
saved. The firemen PLACED a heavy
stream of water hetWgsen the two
buildings as soon as they arrived and
thus prevented the spreading Of the
flames in that direction, II the fire
had been allowed to spread, several
big business houses would have gone
lup. The East side firemen, though
handicapped by the accident on Main
street and later by the breaking Of
the water plug at Eleventh and Ma
tional. did excellent work
Due to the fact that the hour was
early when the fire started, thousands
Of residents of both Las Vegas and
East Las Vegas attended the Bridge
street fire. Crowds Of people flocked
around the building on all Sides Ere
ouently shouts were heard as the fire
men succeeded in subduing the flames
The fire at the State Hospital for the
Insane was caused by spontaneous
combustion in one Of the wings Of the
building. The blaze was soon subdued
by the use Of the equipment at the
institution. Perfect discipline was
maintained among the patients.
