Steamer Mary Kraft Destroyed at a Loss
of $I3,OOO-Insurance.S S.. 900.

The twin screw steamer Mary Kraft which
for some time past has piled on Lake Washing
ton, was burned to the waters edge yesterday
morning about o'clock, while tied up at Crafts
dock, two blocks north of Yeser avenue power
house. The loss OF the steamer and dock Will
amount to s1i GOO with 5000 insurance.
The origin OF the fire is not definitely known,
though il is supposed Itwas occasioned by spon-
taneous combustion in the stern hold, near the
steering gear, where lot OF waste and boat
materials were stored.
About 3 O'Clock II. X. Riddell a carpenter
who lives near Kraft's dock on the shore of the
lake, Glanced to look out os his window and
saw that flames were leaping forth from the
stern OF the vessel. He rushed out ard aroused
Captain Kraft. who lives about hundred
yards away and then hurried to the boat which
by this time was almost completely euveloped
i'll flames Gus Neaher, the engineer, and John
Anderson. the master of the boat, who were
sleeping in the passenger cabin, had barely
time to escape with their lives. Their personal
effects were burned.
Within five minutes from the time the fire was
discovered the entire boat burning tiercely.
and TO attempt TO save the steamer was quite out
OF the question On the dock was n small wa-e-
house. in which was stored chest OF carpen-
tcrs tools, owned by Riddell, and valued at $50
The carpenter climbed into the warehouse by
means of small window, and tried
to save his tools, for already the
roof OF the warehouse was on fire. He waited
almost too long. for when he at last gave up the
effort the window castings were burning and in
escaping he was painfully burned about the
face and hands and his HAIR was singed The
fire burned the dock and the steamer to the
| waters edge and both are beyond repair.
The Mary Kraft was seventy-6ve feet long,
| twelve feet wide and very good carrier and
runner. she cost $4,000 when new. Captain
| Krnft, the owner, carried 5000 worth OF insur-
| auce with the Hamburg Bremen, Continental
/ AS soon as the insurance is adjusted he will
| build Il new boat, which will take the route of
! the old one between Yesler avenue and Kirk
! land and Madison street. The Lake Washing
/ ton Navigation Company will put another boat
| ON the route III place OF the Mary Kraft, so that
/ travel will not be DISCONNECTED.

AMUSEMENTS.
"The Lancashire Lass"

The first night OF 1.-THE Lancashire Lass" at
Cordrays theater was OF such successful char
acter as TO warrant the most hatterlng surmises
for its run Throughout the week. The piece is
admirably staged, and the scenery reflects high
praise on Mr.. Alexander Buchan's skill in his
art. The night scene on the Mersey, near the
Egremont pier, was an artistic triumph, and the
panorama was rendered all the more realistic by
the arrival of the night boat under full head
of steam. The scene called forth prolonged ap-
plause and the most favorable comments were
heard on all sides.
Mr.. George VESSELS as Johnson attracted the
chief attention OF the audience, his portrayal of
the character forming the strongest heavy char
acter acting yet shown on the Cordray stage

The fact that three diamonds were taken from
Albertson's person when captured has resulted
in conjectures about mis- habits previous to the
time Mrs. Albertson arrived here from the East
last fall, ii being held that he bought much
ladies' jewelry and presumably gave the same
to some woman other than his wife.
Sullivan admitted tonight to the cares pond

Sheriff COchrane was not the only man who had
shot when the the capture made. All of
the captors had taken hand in the shooting. He
offers no reason Tor not furnishing this
information before. He claims that even
il lampkin did shoot Albertson and
the wound proves fatal, he would not be
guilty of murder, he, being a member of
sheriffs posse, had right to shoot fugitive
from justice. Besides, he claims, Lampkin is a
right to make the arrest. When

Sullivan says that Lampkia's commission has
never been revoked, and can only be revoked by
"A United States court. When asked why Lamp
kin had kept out of the way since Albertson was
shot, Sullivan laughs and says he is working
on another case Chandler escaped being shot
by falling down in the boat.
Sullivan left tonight by the Portland train,
and says he is going to California. Some say he
is going to Oregon to see Alberison. He denies
that be is.

Prosecuting Attorney John F. Miller closed

Evans had used the process as never intended,

Judge Won Tobel Instructed the jury that an
officer of Pierce county could serve a warrant

violence is Liable. An officer can call in citi-
zens for assistance; but the warrant would not
shield Mr.. Mckay If he knew the warrant was
