GRAkDvIEM, TEXAS IS
 WIPED GUT BY FIRE
1,oGO Persons Made Homeless; Loss is Placed at $2.00O,0O0; Entire
 City is Burned.

Fort Worth, Tex, March 14-Loss estimated at more than $2,000,000 was caused, and 1,500 people were render ed homeless by fire which swept Grandview, beginning at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and still raging at 9 o'clock tonight. The entire business section and tre residential districts of the city was destroyed.
 Three men were injured when a building collapsed. They were res cued by living chain of firemen. Fire departments from Cleburre, Itas- ca and Alverado responded but the water in the standpipe gave out, and since then the firemen have been un- able to do anything except watch the town burn. Dynamite could not be obtained.
 At 9 o'clock six blocks of brick business houses had been destroyed, and the fire was beginning to eat into the last two blocks of brick buildings The fire started at the extreme south ern end of the city; and famed by a heavy wind, it swept through the town. The schoOlhOuse and every church in the city was borned, the F. M. bank was destroyed ana the fire was threatening the First National bank. Approximately 200 residences and 70 business houses had been de- stroyed, and the flames were not yet under control.
 Grandview has a population of about 2,000. It is in Johnson county, on the M. K. & T. railroad near the Hill county line, 35 miles southeast of Fort Worth.
 Automobiles, trucks, wagons and other vehicles are hereby pressed into service to carry the homeless people to Alverado and Itasca. Merchandise val ued in the hundreds of thousands is being piled into the streets, and huge loss is being caused by water and smoke.
 Mayor Williams of Grandview, call- ed mass meeting of all male citizens in the city park and under his direc- tion committee of safety was named This committee patroled the fire stricken section and salvaged goods from stores and homes wherever pos sible.

STUDENTS END FIRE
Held on Bank Robbery Charge at
 Mena Under Bond.

Mena, March 12.--When the home of s. Picchi, cigar maker was discover ed on fire near the high school, the students were dsmissed and they gave their attention to fire fighting. By the time the fire department arrived, the high scholars had carried all the furniture to safetly, but their bucket brigade failed to check the flames. The entire upper part of the Picehi home was destroyed.
 Bond of $2,000 was supplied for Geo. T. Martin, the Little Rock man ac- cuscd of robbing the bank at Wander voort and he has been released from the Polk county jail. To his wife the prisoner owes his liberty, she having tried since his arrest last November to effect his freedom. At the time the VandervoOrt bank was robbed in No- vember 1918, about $10,0OO in Liberty bonds were taken. Some of the stolen bonds are said to have been found in Martins possession. His bond was signed by Mrs. Martin, who owns pro- perty near Hot Springs, J. s. Lighter, a Fort Smith attorney, and Madison Jones, of Desha county.
