Where It Started.
' When the alarm was given, at about
11 M o'clock. Hose Company No. I was
first to reach the scene. These fire
men found the fir had started at the
loot of the freight elevator shaft In the
north half of the building, and had
spread rapidly upwards, until every
floor bad been caught, and the upper
floors were already burning fiercely.
Flames soon broke out of the upper win
dows, and Chief Salter, who had reached
the spot almost as soon as the men,
realised the serious nature of his task.
He bad a general alarm turned In, call
ing out the entire force, and ordered
the No. I men to leava the dangerous
place they were In. While they were
dragging out the hose, the celling fell,
narrowly misting the whole squad. From
this Urns on the fight was to confine the

could be done, apparently, to save the
Interior of that structure.

their homes, while the late suppers and
night owls wers out In force. Chorus

curious enough to com down town were
In the throng. The sight well repaid them
for their trouble.

The remarkable scene drew probably
1500 persons who lined first. Sixteenth

Hen the blase went through the south
portion of the building.
It was a spectacle. Tne building re
sembled a chimney, biasing from top to
bottom. A powerful wind threw great
sheets of firs northward, which-tlme after
time licking the slds of - the Brandels
building, would carry great distances
over Hie roof.
Vast quantities of sparks rivaling last
winter's Worst snowstorm with the flakes
burning embers poured Into the huge
court of the Brandels building. A glass
roof covers four stories of the court and
the damage from this source was con
fined to the burning of several awnlngi
over windows.
From the fourth story windows this
court was a wonderful sight. Such a
cloud of these bright embers was in the
air that it was Impossible to see the sky.
An occasional window In the wilderness
was in flames, but the thrill of the spec

terial was nothing but canvas and there
was nothing Inflammable remaining. '
The Ore in the south side furnished
the biggest spectacle for the crowd. When
the blase reached the first floor ocoupled
by the llalncs Drug company a series
of explosions of drugs and chemical re
sembled a small bombardment.
The skeleton which has been a fa
miliar fljure In the window of the Omaha
Surgical Supply company, adjoining the
drug st re, set acidly in its chair,
thereby arousing much comment. It held
its place until the heat and streams of
water had demolished every portion of
the plate glass windows.
The progress of the flames on ths south
Ids In the Interior could be plainly seen
tor as they burned downward they
swiftly cleared the front of the building.
This formed on of the noteworthy fir
scenes which Omaha ha had In the
business district
Several official and many employes of
the United States National bank, whose
building occupies the corner adjacent to
the, burned building, were on the ground.

they left the drug store was gotten under

The fire started in the rear of the stor

locating the bias and after It was once

was extinguished.

Sixth Season for Lozier Six
For five years Lozier has been building high
powered six-cylinder cars the most successful
"Sixes" ever built The Lozier six has won
more 24-hour races than any other car. It holds
and has held for three years, the world's 24-hour
stock car record.
The remarkable power, the persistent endur
ance, the brilliant speed of the Lozier are written
into the history of the great racing classics of
America Vanderbilt cup, International Grand
Prize, Elgin National Championship, Fairmount
Park, Santa Monica, Indianapolis and Atlanta
Speedways, and the famous Brighton Beach
24-hour races, .
Unparalleled performances in these great con
tests, publicly conducted under official sanction
and observation, mark the Lozier as the
"Champjon Motor Car of the World." None
of these achievements of the Lozier is founded
upon private trials or mere assertions all were
won before hundreds of thousands of America's
motoring enthusiasts all are officially recorded,
1913 Lozier the Greatest
Splendid as have been the Loziers of the past,
the 1913, Six-Cylinder, Type 72 presents a distinct
and marked advance. It is the greatest motor
car ever built by the House of Lozier and
Men Who Know" will tell you that means the
greatest motor car ever built.
No other car offers sucn a remarkable com
bination of desirable features features which
will not be found combined in any other motor
car for several years to come.
Left-Hand Drive is a distinct step in the
evolution of the motor car in America. It is as
sure to become standard on all automobiles as
have six-cylinder motors on high-class cars.
Center Control logically follows left-hand
drive. Fore-door body design makes it a nec
essity. The control levers of the Type 72 Lozier
are m convenient position for the driver, yet
entirely out of the way of occupants of both
front seats.
Lozier Automatic-Level Oiling System is
one of the greatest achievements of the Lozier
engineers in recent years. High oil level at high
speeds low oil level at low speeds a smokeless
exhaust at all speeds. Valves free from carbon.
Perfect lubrication and marvelous efficiency
300 to 400 miles to the gallon.
Triple Ignition is another forward step in
design learned from our racing experience.
The 1913 Lozier is fitted with Bosch Double
Magneto which gives, when desired, two sparks
simultaneously m each cylinder, providing a
remarkable increase in power. This magneto,
with the battery, provides three distinct sources
of ignition.
Six-Cylinder Motor of new design the
most powerful ever put in a Lozier car. Vibra-
tionless at highest speeds, noiseless in action,
With cylinders 4fi x 5 A. L. A. M. rating
51 H.' P. this motor actually develops more
, than 80 brake horse power. -,
Fifty-eight Sets of Ball-Bearings more
than are used in any other car in the world
eliminate friction and transmit the power of the
motor to the driving wheels with minimum loss.
This is one of the big reasons for the wonderful
power, hiH climbing ability, flexibility and long
life of Lozier cars.
See the new model when it arrives. Arrange for a demonstration and
you will learn the reason why hundreds of America's big men men who
have owned many makes of cars before buying the Lozier "Men Who
Kno have declared the Lozier to be the best car, built in America.

Lozier, which has for eight years led American motor cars in design j
and construction, acain offers for 1 9 1 3 additional improvements features
which are sure to be adopted as standard, just as have most of the other
epoch-making innovations embodied in Lozier cars since the first one was
marketed in 1904. Lozier has never marketed a mechanical mistake, and
the 1913 features are no exception to the rule.
