Forty-five Homes and Business
Houses Razed, Leaving
Many Destitute.
Loss ESTIMATED 100000
Lack of Water Combined With High
Wind Made 1t Impossible to Con-
troll Flames-City to be Re-
built on Modern Lines.

helena, MOHC., august ZU.-FanneQ
by high wind, fire that started in
small shed in the most westerly end
of East Helena at 1890 yesterday
wiped out nine residences, jumped two
blocks, in 80 minutes burned down
IL more and several business houses
and with another gust of wind attack
ed the business district proper, laying
it low with the exception of two stone
buildings. The loss estimated at $780,
900 with 45 homes and business blocks
razed and a score of families desti-
tute and homeless. There were no ac-
cidents, although falling wires, trolley
lines, light wires and telephone lines
cluttered up the main street and two
big gasoline storage tanks exploded
when the fire reached them. There
were several volleys which sounded
like machine guns, which proved to
be stores of ammunition of all kinds
going up in the general conflagration.
Extensive investigation leaves the
cause of the fire in doubt. The rumor
that a gasoline can exploded in a
shed and started the fire was denied
by the property owners. The real
story of the start of the fire comes
from the lips of five-year old Helen
Sasek, who ran to her mother at 49,
80 o'clock and told her that she saw
boy throw away cigarette and
that the shed was on fire. In Is min
utes, in spite of all possible efforts,
and the help of every man in the East
Helena smelter, the high wind and
lack of water made fire fighting i'm
possible.
Efforts were made to save nearby
homes, when a terrific dust storm
arose which c'oysed the entire little
city and made it impossible to see. AT
this time sparks were carried two
blocks down the street and fires were
reported in score of places in the
town. The citizens became panicky
and many foreigners, who make up the
principal population of the town, flee
to their homes and began moving
their fares and penates to adjoining
fields.
Nearly all of the property was Of
frame construction and burned like
tinder, famed by the high wind, il
carried sparks to homes blocks away
and fires were fought throughout the
town. The Helena department lent
splendid aid. The East Helena vol.
unteer department aided by all ir
sight fought with will and put two
streams of water on the blaze until
the connecting rod of the gasoline fire
pump broke under the strain of con.
tinued high speed and then the prin-
cipal business section went up with
only the Flatow Mercantile store and
then others in the path of the fire
saved.
With amazing speed the fire jump
ed from the most westerly section OF
the little city to it's farthest extrem-
tiles. When the big barn near the
Stanich home started, it was discov.
cred that it was filled with old tim
ber from the railroad and was stored
for fire wood.
While it was blazing at it's high
est, a terrific dust storm started
which carried embers throughout East
Helena For a few minutes it was
impossible to see in any direction and
it was at that time that the worst
destruction was done.
