C'oiiniiiii**<l Y«*Ht<‘i <lay.

Cripple Ckekk, Colo.. April HO.—A fire which broke out in the Portland hotel shortly after noon yesterday destroyed about all that was left of Cripple Creek after the great conflagration of last Saturday. Four persons wore killed by explosions and at least 14 injured. several of them fatally. The flames spread with great rapidity and although strenuous efforts were made to check the progress of the Are by blowing up the buildings with dynamite, they proved of no avail. All the principal business buildings are in ruins and nothing is left of the town proper except the railroad stations and a few scattering houses. The tire raged fiercely all the afternoon and only died out last night for lack of fuel on which to

feed.

The origin of the tire appear* to have been purely accidental, though the general belief is that it was incendiary. There has been talk crediting Saturday's fire to such origin and this one coming so close upon it gives rise to suspicion. The facts appear todincredit

the suspicion.

Only a few residences on the outskirts remain and thousand are home-

less.
