Over two thousand people wer. mad - homeless and rcmarkatole as it may seem, no fatality has Izeen reported. It is estimated that the daniagi to property exceeds s|u umi.mm.im. Tlie waters of Hot Springs are so hot that you can boil an egg in tin tn It is thought by many of the country folk living in nearby towns that Hot Springs is in such clos- proximity to Hades that the water of Hot Springs derive their heat therefrom. When the country |>eople there aliout saw tiie tremendous volume o f flame leaping from the site of the city, it is safe to assume that many of th. m ran like the populm;- did during the fall of pt.mi>eii: believing the tire of the intimal regions had at last broken loose.
