ROYAL HOTEL COMPLETED VI
DESTROYED BY FLAMES

losing all their belongings Among
! the heaviest losers were Mr.. and Mrs.
Harris; who, although saving most of
the contents OF their rooms on the first
floor, were unable to reach trunk in
the attic which was filled with cloth
ing, cut glass, china and silverware.
The silverware was saved but the re-
naming contents of the trunk to the
value Of about $500 were ruined.
One guest, whose room was gutted,
believed that he had lost notes to the
value of 500 but Immediately after the
fire ascended to the second story and
found the papers intact in a charred
yalise.
B. l.. Frazer, expert man for the Stu
debaker, who occupied the room ad-
joining that in which the fire was be-
lieved to have started, was taking a
nap when awakened by suffocation
froa smoke, He had no time to save
anything His avenue of escape being
cut off he descended from the window
by means of sheets.
Other guests, seeing their rooms con
sumed and flames issuing from the
windows, were happily surprised later
to find that their belongings had been
rescued during their absence or that
the tightly packed contents of burned
trunks or suit cases we're intact or
so
That the fire broke out so early in |
the evening was considered to be ex-
tremely fortunate, as several lives
might have perished had it happened
after the guests had retired. 1t was
feared for while that an invalid
lady had not been able to escape from
her room on the second floor, but this
proved to be without foundation
Furniture, clothing. wearing apparel,
runks, valises and other articles which

Due to the fact that the fire had
made considerable headway before the
flames were discovered it is impossible
to determine its cause or place of orl-
gin. The concensus Of opinion is that
1t originated in one OF the rooms up
stairs Mr.. Gossitt was in the kitchen
a half hour before the building burned
and stated that there was nothing left
in there that would have been respon-
sible for the conflagration The fact
that the contents of the kitchen and
the dining room adjoining were prac-
tically free from damage would lead
to the conviction that this was not the
origin A earelessly thrown match is
believed to have started It.
How Fire Was Fought.
"The fire had such headway be-
fore the department arrived that the
place was practically doomed" said
Chief Gattis today.
I'VE laid four reels of hose and tried
to confine it to the building that was
burning There was good water
pressure.
On Fire Seven Times.
During my nine years service on
the fire department this is the seventh
time which we have responded to J
alarms from this source Owing to
the condition in which the building |
now is it would be better for the City
of Chickasha if it were entirely de-
molished. The heaviest fire was in |
the north end 1t looks as if the fire |
originated in the store room adjoining |
the kitchen. eating its way up into the
second story where the draft drew It
through the attic. In the attic about
two dozen mattresses were stored. |
which caused the fire to gain great |
headway and make it very difficult to
fight. on account of the fire depart |
ment not haying sufficient ladders to |
handle that kind Of fire. To give good !
service on this sized buildings the fire
department has need of sixtySfive /
foot aerial ladder truck This is some.
thing that Chickasha needs now and
should get as quickly as possible.
Everything that the city has in the
fire equipment line was in service and
the fire was being played on from all
sides simultaneously. at the same time
guarding adjoining properties. The
building on the west was not over
twelve feet from the fire.
