district. This distance, somewhat over
a half mile, was laid in ruins In less
than an hour the flames leaving IN
their wake a path from one to three
| blocks wide. a total Of twenty-seven
blocks comprised the burned area In
the residence district.
Sweeping almost due north the fire
reached the public square on which
large business buildings face. In these
are located exchanges OF two teje-
phone companies and one telegraph
company. Telephone girls were forced
to flee from their posts in danger of
being swept into the flames.
The chief operator of one telephone
company risked her life to go back
into the burning exchange to rescue
the company's books and records.
On the east side of the square is
the Merrick hotel, IA comparatively
rev structure, erected ut il cost of ap-
proximately $150,000. This building
was Quilted by the flames and the fire
was extending to the north side Of the
square by the burning of this building.
North of the hotel are more business
buildings of less substantial charac-
ter.
The Hcavy Losses.
Probably the heaviest loser by tie
disaster is Crook, Record & Co,
q large wholesale concern, which
lost a four story brick building and
stock of an estimated value of
100000.
The Gibraltar hotel, newer struc-
ture than the Merrick, which cost
about 100000, was threatened early
tonight. This is about two blocks east
Of the Merrick hotel, and has Il
chance, 1t is said. of escaping the
flames.
The Burtonteel Dry Goods COM
pany, another large wholesale con-
cern, lost its plant and stock valued
at about 100000.
The Smiley apartments in the resi-
Dental district, completed last fall at
u cost of $S00,000 We're a total loss.
The palatial home of X. l.. Scott,
completed about three weeks ago, was
completely destroyed.
