PORTLAND, oREaoy, June Slater
dispatches fail to confirm the previous
reports of the loss OF life. The reports
were circulated during the time ,hs
flames were raging that large number
Of persons lost their lives by falling
walls. Careful and diligent inquiry thus
far shows no lives have been lost While
the fire WAS in progress man was seen
carrying fire brands across an alley be-
| tween Third and South Fourth streets.
| He was setting tire to house that had
escaped the flames. When q special
policeman bsgan shooting at him, to
avoid the shots he daited into the house
he had set on fire and DeVer came out
alive. While the Occidental Hotel was
burning, Officer james Campbell saw
a man attempting to get into Puget
Sound National Bank by the back en-
trance. lie ordered him to stop when
the man drew Q revolver and the officer
fired three shots and brought him to 0
standstill.
Sixty-tbree safes were counted in the
ruins to- day. Nest OF them seem 10 be
uninjured. An Immense brick vault Of
the Dexter, Horton Il Co. 3 bank, which
stands uuiniured, save by heat, in the
middle of the ruins Of the bank building
has locked up in 1t 81 2OO, COO. But two
churches were burned, the Episcopal aud
the Methodist Protestant.
