Dr. LUSke'S Escape.

tThe distance was about twenty feet, but the fall was broken and at least ff- teen women were able to escape through the basement of a neighboring house. Both of us were fairly cool and did our work as carefully as possible
 ''At last as the last woman was let over the edge of the roof we thought of escape for ourselves. The tin roof was becoming vulnerable to our naked feet and the air around us was scorching
 Breaking a glass in skylight in the cafe roof, we dropped to the floor inside. There we groped about in the stifling smoke until we reached the Sixth avenue door, Levy broke the glass in the door with chair and we reached the outer air through the aperture thus made just as the interior to the cafe was filled with flames.
 "I was taken at once to the Gedney House, where I was placed in room 87. I was somewhat bruised, and my left hand was cut and burned. My wounds were dressed and at the present time am resting comfortably.
 II hear that Levy was killed. He was a hero He was made of stern stun. have seen men cool in perilous positions, but never saw any man wich nerve like his.''

HAD HIS PARTNER ARRESTED.
Charles Walter Charged With Larceny
Of Property of Muller 6 Walter.

John Muller. of the firm of Muller Il
Waiter, manufacturers Of store, bank, sa-
loon and office fixtures. swore out war
rant before Justice Won Tobel last evening
charging his partner, Charles Walter, with
larceny OF partnership property. Walter
has not yet been arrested. though the war
rant is in the hands of constable.
According to MuIler's story he has been
a very much abused man, he reported
that their factory. at the corner of South
Sixth and Dearborn streets, was doing
good business and the partners were really
ing handsome profits, when in September
last Walter suddenly disappeared and
though an effort was made 10 ascertain
whittier he had flown, his whereabouts
could not be ascertained. 1t later became
known that before he went away he COL
lected 81, 500 due the firm on outstanding
accounts, and this sum he took with him
Muller finally gave up expecting ever TO
see his defaulting partner again, and,
though embarrassed in financial way, he
continued i'll the business alone. He was
astounded on Monday to meet his partner
on the street, and upon Walter refusing 10
make good the amount of the alleged de-
falcation, Muller swore out warrant
charging him with larceny.

charged with characterization and conduct
unbecoming fireman. The reason given
for Farr's being let out was that he Is not
citizen of the United States.
Lieutenant Farr was present when the
report was read, and said that he wished
to be heard. He then declared that year
ago, when an Investigation of the citizen
ship of a number of fremen was going
on, Chief Kellogg had told him that he
was ineligible as a fireman, but to keep
quiet and nothing would be said about it.
Chief Kellogg said to the commissioners
that he could not understand the animus
of Farr's statement. The man had been
an excellent fireman, he said, and would
have stayed in the department but for the
tact that he was not a citizen.
When the investigation was going on
Farr had told him that he was not born in
this country. He had voted, however, I'M
der the territorial law, and he supposed
that this fact made Farr eligible to hold a
position in the department. He had no
recollection saying the things imputed to
him by Farr, and denied that he had ever
connived to keep anybody in the depart
ment that did not belong there. 1t was
only month ago that he learned the real
status of Fairs case and then he laid him
off.
Farr desired to have hearing before the
board, and Gilbert, who was also present,
made a similar application. The commits
sioners decided to hear their cases at a
special meeting on Friday night.
Chief Kellogg's communication con-
tanned recommendation of the appoint
ment of A. r. Pickney as electrician of the
department
1t also announced the appointment of
Richard Maid ment as a substitute.

DEATH OF DIR. HIGHwARDEN.
Ahs Coiored Doctor Who at One Time
REFORMED Miracles" Here.

Ahs Coiored Doctor Who at One Time
REFORMED Miracles" Here.
Dr. J. Highwarden, the coiored doctor.
VINO dropped dead last Monday at his
nome on WILDLY island, had an interest
ing and almost romantic life. He was
wen known IN Seattle, where at one time
ne was associated with DIR. H. B. Bagley,
ana met with wonderful success. He first
came to Seattle in 1881, under circum-
stances that Immediately put him on a
favorable footing with the people
Mrs M. K. Maddox, wife OF Washing
ton pioneer and one of the best known
women in Seattle, had been an invalid for
many years, and in 1880 she went East and
was under the care OF some of the most
eminent physicians. but they all pro-
nounced her case hopeless, and nothing
was done that aided her in the least. On
the way home she heard that there had
recently arrived in San Francisco colored
physician named Highwarden, who had
performed some wonderful cures, and,
as last resort, and with a forIorn hope.
she placed herself in his care for a short
time. She returned to Seattle a we'll
woman and has been well and happy ever
since. On her arrival home she reported
doctor was doing for suffering humanity.
and 1t being represented to DIR. High
warden that lucrative practice awaited
MIN at Seattle, he came here and opened
an Office, and afflicted humanity from one
end OF the territory to the other flocked to
him. Patients stood in line outside of his
Office awaiting their turn similar to the
crowd which forms in line at the postoffice
every Sunday, when the general delivery
window is opened.
The work was SO great that the doctor
could not attend to it all, even with the
aid of several assistants, so he associated
with him DR.. H. B. Bagley, and the bust
ness done by the firm thus formed, for the
frst few months. was phenomenal.
DIR, Highwarden made speciality OF
removing tumors, assesses, cancers,
etc. Finally the other physicians
OF the city, prompted by motives, no mat
ter what, began to question the genuine
ness of the ''cures" and the regularity of
the practice. The colored doctor was
openly charged with humbuggery and
chicanery. About this time DR.. Bagley
retired from the firm and returned to his
old practice.
Among DIR. Highwarden's patients was
a most estimable and highly respected
woman-the widow Crockett, of WILDLY
standard, strange as it may seem, she
fell desperately in love with this coored
doctor, and against the earnest protests of
all of the members of her highly respected
family and friends, she married him. She
took the doctor to her WILDLY island
home, where he resided until the time of
his death and where he carried on the
business of farmer, physician and druggist.
DIR. Highwarden was very large, intel
ligent-looking colored man, with kinky
hair. He was between so and 60 years of
age and claimed to be q South Sea Is
lander.

HARMON CASE AGAIN.
Petition to Set Aside Deed of
Property to Her Niece.
FIRST NATIONAL BANK WINS.
Verdict Awarded for Full Amount
Against Wheeler ct al.-Eelley
Acquitted OF Burglary.

z. C. McClanahan, guardian of the per.
son and estate of Mrs. Jane Harmon.
brought suit yesterday in the superior
court toset aside a deed of property to
Catherine. Smith and William J. Smith,
made on November 5, 1891. He alleges
that there was no consideration for the
transfer of the property, which is worth
probably $4,000, and that it was brought
about by false and fraudulent representa-
tons by Mr. and Mrs. Smith and pre-
tended agreement for the future care and
support of Mrs. Harmon. He claims far
Their that Catherine Smith, who pretends
to be the niece of Mrs. Harmon, is. in fact.
wholly unknown to her. He asks that the
deed be declared void and of no force and
effect and that the defendants be decreed
to reconvey il.
The disposition of the estate of Jane
Harmon and the question of the state of
her mind brought about an interesting
legal fight last November in the probate
department of the superior court Nc
Clanahan, who was subsequently ap-
pointed the guardian of the oldhlady, was
married to her daughter, now dead. This
lady was the divorced wife of the late
George N. Boman, whose property is also
now in dispute in the courts. At the time
Of the separation the wife was granted the
property in question. which is at tine cor
ner of Fourth and Battery streets in North
Seattle. She afterwards married McClana-
, han, and her mother, Jane Harmon, lived
with them a number of years. Mrs. Nc
Clanahan died in 1888, but be-
fore her death conveyed both by
deed and later by will
the property to her mother. The latter
was greatly enfeebled by age and grew
weaker and more childish after her daugh-
ter's death. She continued to live with
her son-in-law, McClanahan, who cared
for her and looked after the property.
Last fall William J. Smith and his wife,
! Catherine Smith, came to Seattle from
0verton county, Tennessee; where Mrs.
Harmon lived years ago. Mrs. Smith
claimed to be niece of the old lady, who
apparently recognized her. On the day
after their arrival, according to McClana-
hans statement they enticed his wife's
mother away from the house and induced
her to make deed of all the property to
her niece, Catherine Smith, in considera-
ton of the love and affection which she
bears, 2" etc.
McClanahan then filed petition in pro-
bate for letters of guardianship over the
person and estate of Mrs. Harmon on, the
ground that she was incapable of manag-
ing her estate by reason of the weak con-
dition of her mind, caused by old age
The Smiths made hard fight in court
against McClanahan, but Judge Lichten-
berg declared Mrs. Harmon to be Of I'M
sound mind, and appointed McClanahan
her guardian. The latter is now endeav-
oring to have set aside the deed that was
made to Mrs. Smith.

Acquitted of burglary.

John Kelley was tried yesterday on a
charge Of burglary in Judge Humes' court
and acquitted. The trial began in the
afternoon and was finished at night ses-
sion. The jury was out but few minutes
when they brought in verdict of not

was charged was that of breaking into a
lodging-house on King street. His story
was that he was drunk and wandered up
stairs into the lodging-house. 1t was
proven that he entered two or three rooms,
but not that he attempted to steal any
thing Kelley was convicted at former
trial, but was granted new trial, and this
time he came off clear.
