Fully a score of persons were killed and many Injured in the fire which completedly destroyed Th TJewey. a second-class Omaha hotel, last week. The full number of dead will never be known. The picture shows the buildlne as It looked after the fire. '
A big demand for the remaining lota
of the Gary Land Co.'s.'west side of Its first sub-dlvlslon, is expected to follow as soon as it places Its property on the market following price revision.
. Many Lot Inquiries. The action of the company yesterday
in issuing notice that ail west side property was off the market until
prices can be raised came without no
tice. As a result today and yesterday
there were many Inquiries. Many of
the inquiries are for lots north of Fifth
I avenue and west of Broadway, which
Is now being rapidly, built up.
Some time this spring it Is expected
that there will be a boom in .east side property. Sales' in that part' of the sub-division have been of a healthy character, but not as fast as west end stuff. However, most of the west end stuff has been closed out and attention
will be directed to the east side of Broadway before the spring is well advanced.
The land company has sold nearly
every lot In streets improved in Its sec , ond sub-division. .

The burglar entered the Heslln house by way of a side window off the kitchen. A bedroom window, looking out of a room In which two girls were sleeping, was open, but the thieves apparently did not care to take a chance on entering through this, apartment, fearing to arouse the slepers. They did not hesitate, however, on searching In other rooms of the house In vain for the kind of booty they most desired, to enter Mrs. Hesslin ' room, where she lay asleep with one of her daughters, taking the purse from under her pillow.
