Dec) 27.- Two persons are known to hav per , ished and one "other who is miss ing may have died in an early . morning fire which destroyed the Underwood boarding house here. The dead are John Hough and his fifteen-year-old stepson, Mack Hop per. The missing man is E. J. Eddinga, who boarded at the house. Mrs, Hough was seriously injured in jumping from a second story window, The biggest fire Bessemer City has ever suffered was at an early hour this morning (Wednesday) when the cement block building used for the office at the Gambrill prills, the Gambrill Mill Ware house full of cotton, a dwelling and a boarding house, . were burned. About 2c 30 o'clock the whistles of the Gambriell and Osage. Manu facturing Company's gave the alarm. Help responded but with . no visible effects until the build iiigs were burned.. Other build ings and dwellings were saved, also the Gambriell mill by good work . of the people. Hose from the Osage mill was' attached to the ones at the Gambriell, thus sav ing others from catching: The boarding house was a long two story plank building, extending from the front main street back to the railroad, and belonged to the Osage property. : It was here the fire originated; just how is not now known. It was occupied by , a good number of people. The family of J. D. Hough oc cupied several rooms on the second . floor and at the end of the build ing where the fire, started the father and mother were awakened 'and carried their small children to cafety, the mother jumped frorft a window and was,, seriously injured.

Mrs. Hough, was Carried to a, neighbor's house and is in so precarious a condition that she has never been adyised of the sad fate of her son and' husband. ' The dwelling was occupied by Mr. John Short, who was able to get most - of his household effects out. -Tlie warehouse was full of cotton and on the side 'track nearby were several, cars ' of cotton, which was saved. by being loosened-and run on down the track. . This place has a fire wagon and 'apparatus but for some reason could not get to the scene early enough to give much valuable assistance. .But the forces at ,the mill gave heroic help, which saved a number of dwellings and store buildings. Fortunately the wind was not blow- ' ing,' which would have caused more serious lose The Gambriell mill was in dan ger as the ware house was seperated . from it by only a short space. The buildings were covered by insurance but the amount has not been made public It i3 not thought that the fire was of in cendiary origin as ..the building that' was first burned . was an Old plank one' and was probably started by rats and matches. vThe Gambriell company has been rather unf ortu-' natc'as this makes the second time the .warehouse full of cotton - has burned.
