The superior court was i'm session all

This was special sitting, at which the

1t will be remembered that some six

The complainants were represented by

A MYSTERIOUS FIRE
An Unoccupisd Lodging House On
Harris Avenue Burned

An Unoccupisd Lodging House On
Harris Avenue Burned
The two-story frame building until
recently occupied by the Fairhaven
Tent ahd Awning company, on Harris
avenue, just below Ninth street, was
almost totally destroyed by fire between
3 and A o'clock Monday morning.
Officer Peter Bruhn discovered the
flames shortly after 3 o'clock. He inn
mediately emptied the chambers Of his
revolver in the a r and the alarm of the
fire bell and the Bennett Hose COM
pany's triangle soon brought ghostly
forms TO bedroom windows throughout
the city. A dense volume of black
smoke, which could be seen rising from
the building when the alarm was given,
soon began to take on deep crimson,
growing brighter and brighter as the
flames burst through the roof. The hose
companies promptly responded and
soon had four streams playing upon the
building. The conflagration was kept
from spreading to adjacent property
and confined to the interior of the
building, but not until it was burned
to a shell was the flame quenched.
The building was owned by Henry
Welch, and was fitted up for a l5-cent
lodging house. There was "A barber
shop, conducted by Charles Berry, in
one of the front rooms, but the building
was supposed to be unoccupied at
night, as there had been no dodgers in
ii for some time. There is something
very mysterious about the origin of the
fire. II evidently started in the south
west corner of the lower story.
The dodgers in the upper story Of the
Kristiana Beer hall were panic
stricken, and rushed into the streets
without dressing. This is the fourth
fire that has occurred in Fairhaven
within the last four weeks.

at present engaged in developing coal
mine on his Lake Whatcom ranch, on

developing the lead for some time, and
has run "a tunnel, 70 feet i'm length,
upon the property. There is five-foot
vein exposed, and the coal is of excel
lent quality, similar to that found in
the Blue Canyon, which Is only few
miles distant. A diamond drill will be
procured at once, and a shaft sunk from
the tunnel TO depth of 80 feet. The
mine Is only l25 feet distant from the
lake, and Mr.. Hughes is confident that
he has in the mine an equal Of the
