Fire in Cleburne Yards.
Cleburne, Tex., Aug. 12.—Ex-
plosion of gas in an empty tank
car in the Santa Fe yards at Cle-
burne this morning at 9:30 o’clock
resulted in the probable fatal in-
jury of A. Z. Campbell, a boiler-
maker, and the destruction by
fire of the car sheds and lumber
yard. An estimated loss of $250,-
000 was incurred.
The fire started from an explo-
sion in a tank car when Van
Campbell went to do some repair
work in it. Reports differ as to
flow the fire started. Some say
oil ran down to the flue furnace,
sitting on the ground and the fire
started from it. Others say
Campbell had a torch and the
gas exploded when he started to
crawl into the tank. He was
blown into the upper rafters of
the shed and hung there for a
few minutes and then dropped
into the fire. The skin came off
his hands and feet, but he was
dipped into a barrel of linseed oil
and then had medical attention.
He is still living.
The fire spread rapidly to the
car sheds and rolling stock
standing on nearby tracks. Two
first* class passenger coaches and
fifty freight cars were destroyed,
the flames then attacking the
lumber yards, the most valuable
maintained by the Santa Fe in
the southwest.
The employes of the railroad,
aided by the Cleburne fire de-
partment headed by Chief Dickey,
waged a violent battle against the
fire.
The machine shop and the
paint and coach shops, in which
a number of valuable passenger
coaches were standing, escaped
injury. The fire, sweeping,ap-
proximately five acres, was con-
fined to the north end of the
yards.
Seven employes of the railroad,
overcome by smoke during their
fight against the fire, will recover.

TRUTHFUL REPORTS
Lampasas Reads Them With Un-
common Interest.
A Lampasas citizen tells bis experi-
ence in the following statement. No
better evidence than this can be had.
The truthful reports of friends and
neighbors is the best proof ■ in the
world. Read and be convinced.
George W. Bailey, contractor, W,
Third St., Lampasas, Texas, says: “I
do not hesitate to recommend Dylan’s
Kidney Pills. I think they live up to
the claims made for them. For a long
time my back bothered me and I had
other troubles which showed that my
kidneys were out of order. I took
several remedies, but Doan’s Kidney
Pills gave me the most relief.”
The above statement must carry con-
viction to the mind of every reader.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy
—ask distinctly for Doan’s Kidney
Pills, the same that Mr. Bailey had—
the remedy backed by home testimony.
