contemplating the havoc wrought In one
short hour, when the fire fiend, for the
second time In a decade, swept over the
city, and destroyed the business part of
the town. " '
WHERE THE FIRE BTARTED. '
At 10:30 last night a fire started In the
building of McKinley Mitchell, In the
: center of one of, the business blocks, oc
cupied by Willie Thompson, as a confec
tionery store, and before , the flames
could be controlled, they were fiercely
eating Into the building adjoining the
structure. The alarm was given by a
party of young men, who happened to be
oat on the street and within a few, min
utes the entire population of the city
was out ana eager and willing hands be.
gaa the work of fighting the fierce ele
ment But to no purpose. The entnv
block In which the fire originated was
soon In flames. High winds arose and
wept the flames northward, destroying
In Its order the John Weiss furniture
tore, McKinley IMtchell's office, the
Kera building, the M. Becker saloon, the
poatotfioe, the Gervals Star office, the
Fltsgerald drug store, the Masonic ; hall,
and the Tanxler general merchandise
tore. ' , Meanwhile - the flame , spread
eastward, and the. Nathman 'hardware
.. store, and the F A. Mangold tiardware
house, were destroyed, with but little
chance to save the stocks. v
A SHORTAGE OF WATER.
Every effort was made to 'Check the
flames, and the city' water tower stantf
Ing between the . 8. P. depot and the
burning blocks was brought into use.
but the water was Insufficient to make
aa Impression on the flames, and a small
band fire engine , was brought out and
used In pumping water from the well!
of the town. These soon ran dry, and
the citlsens were compelled to stand
helpless, and see the town burn.
The two business blocks' flanked ' the
railroad track on the east side, and the
fierce flames swept down trie range ef
buildings, giving Hut little chance for
rescuers to save any of the stocks.
About 10:30 the wind shifted, and the
flames leaped the wide street, and the
two warehouses on the west side of te
railroad track caught Are, and they were
soon a mass of flames, while several res
idences near the fire sone also caught,
and were soon destroyed.
NO HELP AVAILABLE.
"When the citlsens realised their des
perate plight, Salem was telephoned for
helpt but,. the,r, was;,jaa .l4.tia,..
available to bring the lire department
from that city to the scene. Portland
waa next appealed to, but it waa then
too late to give help to the doomed city.
About 11 o'clock the'' telephone service
was Interrupted, owing to the burning
of the office. The Southern Paclfio pas
senger station waa threatened by tho
fierce flames, and telegraphic communi
cation waa interrupted by the breaking
of the -wires, and Gervals shut off from
outside communication, was left to its
Sate. ' ----- ;
TWO WAREHOUSES GONE.

could be secured In time to be Of any use
to the stricken clt. the citlsens renewed
their efforts to confine the fire to the bus!
. section, which, it wa early realised,
waj doomed. It wan with a sinking heart
tht the people realised that the best por-
. tons vf the town was, hopelessly lost,' and
when the Are jumped the railroad track
and the two big warehouses, one -partially
filled with grain, began to burn
v fiercely.. These' warehouses were but 40
feet from the passenger depot, and It was
by a superhuman effort that the latter
building was saved, and with It ,15000
worth of hops stored in the building.
Several times the depot building caugnt
fle, hut fiercely the man of Gervals
fnught the lira fiend, and literally snatch
ing the brand from tne fire, they saved
the structure. Three telegraph poles, Im
mediately north of the depot, ware .burn
ed i and the wires broken, thus cutting off
communication.'"' ::""-t
HEAVY LOSSES IN MERCHANDISE.
Considerable quantities of the mercan
tile stocks were saved, but the percentage
of the property taken out of the fire sone
waa very small, , , .. - -

Sixty-three People Seriously ' In

ST. - PETERSBURG, Oct. .Twenty
eight people were killed and sixty-three
others seriously Injured by eight elephants
that escaped from a circus at Nijnl Nov
gorod yesterday. , t ,
A dispatch which has just been ' re-
T

t i ' f Aft
ceived here from Nljni Novgorod states
that eight elephants that were being mal
treated by their attendants broke loose
rVb,"01eW''fiaenffigrhho!" went" oh " a
rampage. Their trumpeting ' was terri
fying to the large crowds which had as
sembled to watch the performance of the
circus to which the animals belonged
and there was an Immediate stampede.
Men, women and children scrambled
down from their seats and made a frantic
rush for the main exits to escape the
ferocious onslaught of the enraged beasts.
Many of the Weaker ones were trampled
under the feet of the panic stricken peo
ple, and placed, at the mercy . of. tha -mad
dened animals. The brutes charged upon
tne unfortunates ana picking them up
with their trunks, hurled them clear
across the enclosed area and crushed
many others under their massive feet.
The scene was most heartrending and
little babes In their mothers' arms were
frightened into convulsions, and small
children were left to shift for themselves
In the frantic mob. Everyone seemed to
be bereft of their senses, so great was
their fright, and the strong took advan
tage ef the 'weak in their efforts to get
out of the way of the raging monsters.
Finally, after5 a herolo effort on the
part of the circus employes and train
ers, the elephants were recaptured 'and
returned to their quarters, but not before
they had done considerable damage to the
property and killed twenty-eight' people
and injured slxty-three more.
It Is feared that a raid Is likely, to be
made on the circus by the citlsens, who
are greatly incensed over" the affair, and
who will probably make an attempt to
massacre the elephants. ',','

NOTHING SENSATIONAL.
"There waa nothing sensational in what
occurred in the Grand Jury room," Mr.

He has admitted that from time to
time he has given money to men who
