Lons and Damage Estimated at $lo
OOO Fully Insured Will Be
Rebuilt.
One of the" most disastrous fires
that has visited the city for some
years wiped out of existence Wednes-
day night the major portion of the
Santa Fe system's shops. The wind
was very strong am' aided the flames
much In their destroying work. The
damage done is estimated to be be-
tween $14000 and $16000 fully in-
sured and had it not been for the
heroic work of the re boys and the
rain that came to their assistance it
is possible that the round house and
everything adjacent would have been
entirely consumed.
f Started in Carpenter Shop.
About 11:30 a blaze was discov-
ered In the carpenter and paint shop
and Immediately an al;ir mwas turn-
ed In . The fire company responded
promptly making the run In very
quick time despite the fact that the
ground was muddy nd slippery. The
fire had gained such headway by the
time all connections .were made that
to save the burning building was out
of the question and attention was
turned to the other buildings in an
effort to save them. Every pump in
the round house was nut to work but
despite that and the fact that three j
Dig- streams or ( water were coming
from thetandplpe the flames spread
and in a very few minutes the sand
house was past saving and the boiler
and blacksmith departments were
afire. For three quarters of an hour
or more the fire boys and others
fought and seemed to have but little
chance to save the tound house and
coal chutes but finally got things
under control confining the blaze
to the blacksmith shop.
i Sixteen Thousand Dollars Loss.
The estimated loss and damage by
the fire Is placed at from' U 000 to
16000 and which Is fully covered
by insurance. Two coaches one a
Pullman that were in the paint shop
were burned as were two car loads
of finishing lumber in the carpenter
hop. All of the buildings destroyed
were frame excepting the boiler and
blacksmith shops which were cover-
ed with heavy sheet Iron. The boiler
shop which was neurest the fire when
It first started was a large sheet Iron
structure with not even a floor and
which acted as a fire wall probably
saving the boiler shops from being
damaged to a greater extent.
Will Rebuild at Once.
Alarge force of hands are at
work tlearlng up the debris and oth-
ets are to be brought In for the same
work. This Is to be hurried un as
fast as can be- as plans are already
being made for the rebuilding it Is
learned that work will be commenced
as soon as the ground is cleared and
instead of erecting frame bulldlnes.
they will be of Iron and may be
larger than the old ones were. Only
a tew men were deprived of work as
a result or the fire and they will be
out but a short time. Most of the
men who worked in the departments
that were destroyed are now working
in some other department until the
rebuilding of the shops.
Fire Department Commended.
Many expressions of praise for. the
Amarlllo fire department were heard
and without doubt but for their
fighting qualities and the excellent
water pressure the loss and damage
by this fire would have been much
greater than It Is. The boys are al
ways prompt to respond and quick to
get busy when a Are Is on hand and
the words of commendation are de
served.

Lubbock to Celebrate.
It is the Intention of Lubbock peo

people would necessarily have been
scattered and we could not have had
many people from neighboring towns
on that day. Lubbock wants people

Talked to the Ticker.
In small village In Wisconsin
along the Chicago Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad lived an old man who
had not visited the depot very many
times but happened to stroll In just
when the agent was out after the
mall. He seated himself and sudden-
ly the telegraph instrument began to
click very rapidly. As the Instru-
ment did not cease nor the agent re-
turn the old man became Impatient.
He had only an Indistinct notion of
the telegraph and telephone. ' Step-
ping over to the Instrument he loudly
said:
"The' agent is- not here. so pleas
wait a minute and I will cr.ll him."
