Ark., November 18.— Fire originating from a bolt of light- ning caused a loss estimated at $500,- 000 at the Fort Smith Compress Com- pany’s plant, when over 5,000 bales of cotton stored In sheds were destroyed. An adjoining shed containing 5,000 bales and protected by a fire wall, was saved. _The blaze was discovered at 8:30 o'clock, following a severe electrical and rain storm. The cotton was owned by small cotton growers of this immediate territory and local cotton buyers. Approximately 8,000 bales were owned by farmers who had stored the cotton awaiting a better price, and these owners carried no in- surance. The company's plant was insured. At midnight the fire was under con- trol, although firemen say it will burn for several days. K.K.K. KLEAGLE TRIAL SET Case at Asheville, N. C., Has Been Long Delayed. ASHEVILLE, N.
