AN AWFUL HOLOCAUST. Fifty llm Thnucbt to bo lout In n Hotel Dliunr- Wrwk of tkt Gomryot boo- »« CoU—The Work of Rooeoo Delayed »n< Rrtardrd by Fear of Crnotbltnc Watte— Meanwhile Horror te Added to tb* Scene by Fire*. Di xyeb, Col., Aug. 19.—The Gumrv hotel on Lawrence street, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, was completely demolished by an explosion shortly after 13 o’clock this morning. It is not known positively that; anyone* was killed, but at this hour (3 a. a) six or seven people are missing. The rear portion of the building, a five-story brick, fell shortly after the j explosion. The front wall is expected' | to go down at any instant, and this keeps the firemen from prosecuting the search for the missing from that part of the structure. The hotel, while not a large one, was well-filled with guests. The help of the hotel, which sleeps in the top floor in the rear portion of the building, are among those missing. Window glass in ail the buildings near the hotel was smashed to atoms, and in many cases the buildings were badly shkken up. At 13:45 five persons had been taken out They were guests, and were on the next to the top floor. They were not seriousy injured, as the floors sank, and were apparently not wrecked by the force of the explosion. All the fire department and police j were at onee summoned to the scene, and calls for reserves and ambulances . followed-in a short time. Two women were taken out about 1 o’clock. They were seriously injured, and it is feared that several l>ones had been broken. The bodies of several more can be ! seen among the debris, in the rear ol I the building. The rescuers are making all efforts possible to reach them, but progress is retarded by the mass of iron and wood, intertwined among i which are electric wires which add | greatly to the danger. The explosion was caused by the ! bursting of the boiler in the basement of the hotel. Th% lower floors were wrecked, and the entire mass caught fire, the flames shooting rapidly up through the remaining floors. *:15.—The^fire is now under control, but the smoke hanging about the ruins is so dense that the firemen are unable to proceed with the search. Only fifteen of the people who are known to have been in the building at the time of the accident are accounted for at this hour. This will leave fifty who are supposed to be dead. Mr. McClain and family arrived at the hotel at a late hour tonight from ^ Huron, Kan. They I occupied front rooms. Mr. McClain thinks there were about sixty guests in the house. This with the help employed on the premises will make seventy-five persons in the building at the time of the explosion. The dead body of Mrs. Trainer has been taken l from the ruins.

The officer, who had been shot in the left breast, was taken to a house near by, and his wound was pronounced fatal bv a physician. The alarm was sounded, and r.x»n two wagon loads of policemen arrived and were joined by farmers with pitchforks and shotguns in the chase after I the fleeing tramps. The officers were close on the heels of the tramps, and as Patrolman Smith leveled a shotgun and fired, he hiinself was shot in the right wrist by one of the tramps. The tramp who did the shooting had his -legs filled with shots but he kept on running, leaving a trail of blood be hind him. Patrolman Parks was after them in an instant with a revolver in each hand. He covered the slower of the trio with his gun and ordered him to surrender. The fellow hesitated a moment and then threw his gun down, held up his hands and was bundled into the wagon. Meanwhile the other two, including the one with the shot-riddled legs, were making across the country. The two tramps reached a barn where they found a hired man named Robert Brown, to whom they offered five dollars to allow* them to hide m the barn and not tell anyone they were there, and the two men climbed into the hay loft and burrowed their way out of sight. A gardener saw the operation and gave the officers a pointer and the barn was surrounded. When the men saw they were cornered they threw down their weapons with a curse and surrendered. Great crowds followed the return of the wagon with the prisoners to the police station. THE HOLMES ••CASTLE:;**, With Whatever of Secrets It Contained, »arly Goes Cp in Smoke.
