latter building prevented its total de-
at ruction also. In the meantime the
hotel operated by Mrs. Ruby McDow-
ell opposite the lumber yard had
caught fire, first igniting on the in-
side. due to the doorg and windows
having been opened in the attempt to
remove the furniture and was soon a.
mass of flames. Brands from this
building seriously threatened the ad-
joining property of the Texas A Paettie
railway, and only the quick dispatch of
an engine from Handley prevented the
loss of eight box cars and the frame
work of the new depot now under con-
struction. By this time all the wells
withih reach had been exhausted u
their supply of water, and the fighters
could only wateh the flames continue
their destructive work. .
G. W. Owens A Co. are the heaviest
losers, their loss being placed at $20,-
000. Insurance to the amount of $15,000
was carried. The plant is a total loss.
D. M. Thomas, who owned the build-
ings occupied by the Bradshaw livery
stable and Williams’ restaurant, lost
both buildings and estimates the loss
at *5,000 with >3,500 insurance. Brad-
shaw sustained a loss of >1,500 in the
burning of the stable, his entire stock
of feed stuffs and part of his harness
equipment being lost. The horses and
carrirages were saved, however. Ho
carried no insurance. The loss of th.
amount to >500 The contents of the
building were entirely destroyed.
The loss to Dr W E. Gillespie and
R. W. King, who owned the building
ogcupied by Mrs. McDowell’s hotel, is
placed at $1,000, with no insurance.
The building was entirely consumed
and only a small part of the furniture
Was saved Damage resulted from re-
moval of the furnishings, which great-
ly increased the loss Mrs. McDowell
placed the personal losses of the guests
and boarders at the hotel at $200. Her
loss will amount to about $500.
The loss on the feed store of M. B.
Hardiman will amount to $1,500. No
Insurance was carried and the stock is
a total loss. The building was owned
by J. I. Wolfebarger and no insurance
was carried on it. The building was
valued at $1,000.
J. E. Payne sustained a loss of $150
through the removal of the contents of
his drug store, which was seriously
threatened for over an. hour.
A loss of $50 resulted From the burn-
ing of a portion of the roof of the
First State bank, but the fire was ex-
ing the fire. Their efforts were de-
ruled toward removing the contenta
from the burning and threatened build-
ings.
The fire originated at 9:40 o’clock in
the lime and 0vment building of the
Owens Lumber company and is believed
to have started from spontaneous com-
bustion. It was iinmediately diseov-
ered, but owing to ths crowded con-
dition of the wureroom, the corner in
which it was burning could not be
reached from the Inside The flames
quickly reached the roof of the build-
ing which burned like tinder, and from
there spread to the adjoining sheds,
igniting the piles of lumber.
From the sheds the fire spread to the
livery stable of D. A. Bradshaw which
stood adjacent, and igniting the bales
of hay stored in the loft, quickly
ranched every part of the building. The
intense heat rendered it impossible to
attempt to save the stable and tiie cf-
forts of the fire fighter ware devoted
solely to saving the horses and ve-
hicles in the stable.
The feed store of W. B. Hardiman
was next to catch, and was entirely
destroyed, beig a total loss. The
building ignited ths adjoining hous
which was occupied by J. W. Willlama,
who conducted a. restaurant.

Epon the request of Mayor Scales of
Oklahoma City, who eame here to see

governor that neither he nor the peo-

Most ef ths charges al graft arise

that the probe once started is likely to
go much further, and it wm for this
reason that the request for outside
assistance was made and granted.

Asricultural Seeretary Belleves la
Federal Control of Hallrods.
Washington, Sept. 23.--As a result
of his observations recently into the
conditions among the agricultural
classes in the West, Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wilson is firmly convinced
that federal control of railroad capi-
tallzation would lead to large invest-
ments in railroad securities by Amer-
loan farmers. The secretary expressed
the opinion today that if some gov-
ernment board or official had the right
to pass on proposed issues of railroad
securities and say whether they repre-
sented actual properties, It would give
the farmers confidence in such secur-
ties and they would buy them treely.
Seeretary Wilson said that the farm-
ers were now buying automobiles to
a large extent, which indicated to him
that there were no opportunites for
investment
The supervision of railroad securi-
ties by the government would, la his
opinion, offer such opportunities, and
the farmers would take advantage of
them. _ _______
