A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Morning Fire at the Grand Pacific,
The Second Attack of Fire In This
House.

Between Z and 8 o'clock yesterday
morning the Grand Pacific hotel had a
narrow escape from a disastrous fire,
A lamp in m of the second story back
rooms, which had been filed too full
with oil ran over and took fire. One of
the walters ~endeavored to carry it out
when the oil ran down over his hand and
the blaze became quite serious.
He hurled the lamp down the
back stairs and it looked for
n few moments as if the whole place
would go, but the house seems to be a
lucky one, and no particular damage was
done. A little boy ran to No. 2.s engine
house and gave the alarm, and the hose
carriage went down, but found it unnec-
essary to lay their hose.
This is the second fire that has attack
ed this house, but neither one has done
any particular damage, and the house
may be considered as bearing a charmed
life and as proof against the flames.

from childhood Of an adventurous spirit,
and when but s years of age he started
for school one morning and was
not heard Of again for six months.
BY the time he was IL years old he
developed a longing for the sea, and
made four voyages before he was Ia. In
1906 he made an attempt to desert his
vessel at the Isthmus Of Panama, but was
pursued by natives, with bloodhonnds,
Shit, and recaptured. In 1897 he went
to Kansas and accompanied Albert sid
ney johnson from Fort Leavenworth as
auartermaster in the expedition against
the Mormons. On this expedition he
narrowly escaped capture by some hostile
Cheyennes while out hunting for the
mess. In 1860 he enlisted in California,
and served one year in the First regi-
ment. At the expiration of his term of
enlistment he went to Mexico and be-
came a frat lieutenant. in the army of
Presidentp Jaurez, who was then fight
ing Macmillan and the French.
He came out of the war as a colonel,
and was known as Don Cashmere,
which name he adopted when he first
went to Mexico. Next he was employed
as United States interpreter and scout at
Fort Craig, having mastered the language
of the Apaches. This wa ut the time of
the Howard commission. Efforts were
being made to induce the Mescaleros and
the band of Cochise to leave the Warm
Springs country and go OF the reserva-
ton. Streeter alone entered the land Of
the Mescaleros and remained with them
for six months, finally inducing them to
do as the Indian department desired. He
had similar success with Cochise,
who only stipulated that he
should select his W agent. A
man named LETTERS, q friend of
Streeter, accepted the place on the con-
dition that he should withdraw if the
government defaulted in their contract
with the Indians. This was the case
within six months, and LETTERS resigned.
Streeter ~profanely expressed himself
against the Indian department, and, be-
ing overheard by Gen. Howard, he was
dismissed from the government service.
He then went to Grant county in 1873,
and became q deputy sheriff under
Whitehill. He had great control over
the Indians, who trusted him implicitly.
His bold and defiant charges
against the Indian ring, which
sometimes took the form of letters to
the northern and eastern newspapers, in
sured him a long course of persecution at
the hands of the emissaries of the ring,
He was repeatedly arrested and charged
with melting the Indians to outbreak,
but was exculpated in every case. The
ring feared his power over the Indians.
The malice of his enemies at length
secured a proclamation declaring him an
outlaw, and a reward of $4,000 was
offered fop his apprehension. He at once
fled to the stronghold of his friends, the
Apaches, and has lived with them ever
since. .

Why are Butchers Fair

Boston Globe.
~ give it up" said a jolly big butcher
when asked if he could give any reason
why 80 many butchers were fat. cts n
butchers misfortune that he is fat. l
suppose one reason we are so fat is be-
cause W. eat enough, keep pretty regular
hours and get up early in the morning.
There's something queer about it how 30
many butchers are fat, but if we stay in
the business any little time and have any
constitution at all to build upon, we in
variably become busters"
''You butchers are all a jolly, good
natured class; hasn't that got something
to do with it2"
"Yes," said the butcher, "we always
look on the bright side of life and try to
keep about even-tempered. l don't
think the business has anything to do
with it. Ii it is n mans nature to be fat
he will flesh up, 10 matter in what bust
ness he may be engaged. While a very
large number of the men about here who
actually handle the meat are corpulent,
still there are some skinny fellows here
who, if they stayed here forever, wouldn't
get fat. The business is healthy; the
men who are healthy before they went
into it, and of course as a natural conse'
quence the flesh up wonderfully. W.
don't have anything to think about OIL
trouble our heads about, andI CHESS that
the principal reason"
The reporter went along q little fur
Their and soon encountered a tall butcher,
fully six feet and of huge proportions.
In reply to interrogations, he said
"They come here" said he, ''strong
rugged, healthy young men, and although
their work is laborious it is not exhaust
ing like other kinds of labor. To be SURE
they have TO do some heavy lifting, but
then, they have considerable time be
tween acts to rest. They, as a rule, taxi
pretty good care of themselves, and then
] notice that they always take home tn
best pieces of beef. No chucks in theirs
in a word, good living and n good con
s%titution make the butchers fat"

THE WHITE
How Il. U. Streeter was driven by
the Indian Ring to Cast His
Lot with the Indians.

New York Sun.
ST. LOUIS, June 22.-L. L. Streeter
has been much written about recently as
the white Apache, who was wounded and
captured a few days ago. Many roman
tic stories have been given currency con-
corning him, some of them based on
facts, but most Of them on imagination.
The correspondent of The Sun had the
good fortune to-day to find "A brother of
the white Apache, whose home is in st.
Louis, and from him obtained the follow
ing:
al. L. Streeter was born in central
New York in 1889, and is A years of age.
He is a full blooded white American, his
ancestry being traced back to 1924 in
in this country. When he was yet a boy
his mother died, and in 1912 his father
left by the sea route for California, and
never returned. He was last heard of by
his eldest son as the lighthouse keeper at
San Luis Obispo, l.. U. Streeter was
