iASSOCldted BreSS)
 LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 1.-Two hundred guests at the Willard ho- tel in this city, had a narrow es- cape from burning to death when the hotel building was almost com pletely destroyed by fire. They were cut off in the upper floors and had to be taken out through the windows by the firemen. One fireman was so badly injured that his recovery is thought to be impossible. The damage is estimated at S1O0,000.
 The origin of the fire is unknown, but the headway which it had ac- quired before it was discovered and the rapidity with which it burned is the cause of suspicion that 1t was incendiary, and the authorities are making an investigation. On account Of the speed with "hlcn the SlFuc- ture blazed up, all the guests on the upper floors were cut off from escape by means of the elevators and stairways. For time a state of widest panic prevailed in those apparently trapped, but skilful work on the part of the firemen saved every one of those threatened.
 The Willard was one of the land marks of not only Louisville, but of the old south. It has been the scene of many famous gatherings since the early days of this city and was known throughout the United States.

RADAK IS PUT
 UNDER BONDS

A recent stacker case reported here from Brooks alleged that john Radak, an Austrian by birth, had failed to register and was theI afore taken into custody.
 Tony Radak, who is a brother of the accused man, and who furnished bail for his release, is a well known hill, tells why the brother in Liven- good was delinquent in registering. He stated yesterday that his brother had been in the Goodpaster country all summer prospecting and could not read or write English, therefore it was altogether probable that he did not know anything about the draft law; that he had only returned to Livengood a short time when he was taken into custody, and he evi- dently did not have the matter ex- plained to him.
 Local authorities, however, state that the man was in Fairbanks for number of days on his way from the Goodpaster to Brooks, and at that time was enlightened by friends as to the significance of the draft law and told that he should register at the local office As yet no facts in the case have developed but that the alleged stacker is bound over to the grand jury for hearing and was released on bonds furnished by his brother in Fairbanks
