NASHVILLE, March 23.—
One of the serious tires that have
caused millions oT damge in the
south during; the past tew' days
swept over a portion of this city
today, destroying a half nimfon
dollars worth of residence proper
ty and making hundreds home-,
less. Five blocks were swept
away before the tire was finally,
controlled. So far as known no
one was killed but a dozen are
injured, some seriously. Owing
to a shortage of water the lire
was protracted for several hours,
and, owing to the direction of the
wind, at times threatened the de
struction of a large portion of the
city_

AUGUSTA, Ga., March 23.— '
One of the most serious fires oc
curing in the south for many
years occurred last night in this
city and resulted in the sweeping
away of thirty business and resi
dence blocks in the southwestern
part of the town. Starting from
causes not definitely ascertained,
the wave of flame swept through
ten business blocks and twenty
adjoining residence blocks beion
it was controlled. For hours the
firemen battled with the fire de
mon without etfect and biock fol
lowed block as the leaping Hanies
burned their way forward. The
connagration continued through
the night until early this morn
ing when a sudden change of
wind combined with the tree use
of dynamite enabled the firemen
to gain control. Two firemen
were killed and several others
recived injuries from which they
died. The death list will proba
bly reach a dozen or more and
several thousand people are
tiomeless. The property damage
.vill reach several million.
