A. Losse and "a Guests Saw

COVER $1,000 LOSS
Guests Leaped Frcm Windows
Ove-heated Stove Caused
Big Blaze.

\ number Of guests in the hotel
! of 4. LoSSe in Fognfclt narrowly
escaped death yesterday morning when
the building was destroyed by fire
caused by an over heated stove About
Il dozen had TO leap from second an,i
third story windows clad only in Their
night clothes in order to save thei,'
! lives. Losse himself was also amon =
those who had a narrow escape.
TIE fire was discovered shortly al
! ter nine o'clock by several railroad
men working in the terminal yards
near the hotel. The blaze spread -
rapidly that the guests had no time
to gather their belongings before leap
ing out the windows. Volunteers at
tempted to save some of the furni-
ture, bat their efforts were of noavaii.
Attempts 70 extinguish the fire were
equally unsuccessful.
There We're - guests sleeping in
the hotel. They were all railroad em-
ployes, who had come in during the
early morning hours after an all
nights work. All We're asleep when
the fire was discovered. They were
aroused by the crowd gathering on
the outside. Rocks were thrown
against the windows to awaken the
sleeping guests.
The owner himself was soundly
asleep, when several men broke into
his bedroom TO notify him Of the
fire. He WAS sleeping in a room on tiln
first floor while his guestes were on
the second and third floors. Those on
the top floor had to leap to an adioin-
ing shed and Jump to the ground. They
saved nothing but the clothing they
wore and few wrappings they could
pick up In their hasty escape.
Mrs. Losse was in the kitchen pre-
pairing dinner when the blaze was dis
Covered The fife spread so quickly
that the second and third floors We're
envolopcd in flames before Mrs. LOsse
knew that the hotel was afirc.. She
told the rescurcrs where they could
find Mr.. Losso and then hurried out as
tn building was denscly filled with
smoke.
The guests We're taken into the
neighborinG hiuses almost frozen, The
owen moved to the Ttrminal Hotel
where he was given clothing. Hhe had
escaped only clad in his night clothes.
He had to depend on the charity Of
his friends TO get some clothing.
Mr Losse told Tie Tribune. he es-
timated his loss at $1,000. He said
he had very little insurance on the
building, not enough to speak Of. The
oD,y thing that could be saved was the
BED in which he had been sleeping.
The fire is believed to have origin
ated IN the overheated stove. The no
tel is located south, of the railroad
tracks of the Cotton Belt line.
