CLAD IN PAJAMAS CAFE
OWNER RESCUES ROOMERS

into refugee headquarters and one
man, the restaurant proprietor dis
tinctly recalls, appeared in the cafe
kitchens clad only in a shirt which
reached about half way to his knees.
Hart wrapped an old coat about this
man and finally gave him pair
of trousers
That there was no time to lose
was the impression of the cafe own
er. He said that many people in
the hotel tried frantically to return
to their rooms for jewelry or clothing
but were stopped by the officers and
rescuers who feared that at any
minute the roof would crash in.
Hart said that there was probably
Is minutes in which all the rescue
work was accomplished and that
anyone who might have been left
i'll the top floors after tnat time
would almost certainly have perished.
He said that many went down by the
fire escapes when smoke and the
beginnings of the fire had approached
the stairways so that tney were
afraid to attempt them.

POWER Is OFF
But A LITTLE
WHILE IN CITY

Light and power for portions of the
day were jeopardized yesterday by the
Gadsden fire, but the breaking of the
power line when the west wall of the
hotel block fell caused only very
short break in the power service. 1t
had been foreseen by Manager j. P.
Sexton and workmen were started
upon the construction of what in such
instances is called "shoo-fly' around
the break.
When Manager Sexton got to the
fire about 6 O'Clock in the morning he
knew there was a break ahead and
only few hours away Dividing his
squad and leaving some to aid the
firemen, he turned to the work OF
making it possible to keep the current
going along Finally when the break
came with the falling OF the wall,
there were gasps of grief in places
where power was needed. But in
about IS or 20 minutes there was pow
er again and by noon every portion
of the city was having it's usual serv-
ice
The work of Manager Sexton back
ing up the foresight of knowing that
the trouble was coming prevented any
appreciable loss of time in any place
where power was needed.

John 3. Hart, OF Hart's cafe, tells
one OF the most thrilling and at
the same time amusing stories or the
Gadsden fire He and his wife were
asleep in their apartment on the
second floor OF the building that
houses their restaurant when the fire
alarms we're turned in. Mrs. Hart
called her husband and he rushed
to the hotel in his pajamas and shoes
Hart relates that he met George
Cook, merchants patrolman, as soon
as he arrived at the hotel and that
they made a marathon run up the
stairs to the top floor where Cook
burst in the door OF room Hart
rushed in, grasped a woman clad
only in a night gown, and fled with
her to the lobby. Returning he again
encountered Cook. This time he, being
only half awake, did not know which
floor he was on but they burst in
another door and Hart says that
the woman he found there was in
bed and that she screamed and
struggled when he, seized her and
started to drag her to safety.
Hart says that there were four
men making the rounds Of the upper
floors who apparently were brakemen
from the Southern Pacific yards and
that these men worked heroically i'll
getting people out OF the hotel. He
said that man and wife who had
rooms directly under the heart of the
fire on the top floor were found
leosurely walking about their room
assembling their effects just before
the root. crashed in and that he and
Cook had quite an argument persuad-
ing this pair that they were in grave
danger.
Harts cafe as well as the other
cafes in the fire zone were turned

moned to the scene by M. j. Anderson

night.
Aid was summoned and much of the
merchandise in the store was remov
ed but a vast quantity of new goods
shoes, suits. hats and all manner Of
clothing which was stored in the base
ment is written in the losses. The
partners announced that they had a
partial insurance coverage but were
unable yesterday to say how much Of
the loss this would cover as they could
not determine what part of the goods
in the store had been rescued.
Their salvaged goods were trucked to
1887 c. avenue and Winlberley an
nounced last evening that he and his
partner. William Meredith, were pre-
pairing to open up again Immediately

that, having been cheerful in pros

a smile and continue to carry on. They
had been in business in the Gadsden
building for eight and half years
and said yesterday that they had no
intention of quitting now.
