Terrific Fire at Fossil.

Monday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, the
large livery stable belonging to Charles Nc
Kenze at Fossil caught fire, presumably
from cigar stump, and within few sec
onds the enormous structure was a seethIne
mass of roaring flames. Everything was as
dry as powder, and it was only a second I'M.
til the flames spread to Elmer Barna1d's sa.
loon, under the same roof, thence east
across the street to Anderson's saloon,
thence to the old Coats blacksmith shop
thence to the Hosford building, occupied by
Mrs. F. NJ. Judd. By almost supe human
efforts the large merchandise store of w.
W. Steiwer & Co :, just north across the
street. was saved by spreading wet blankets
all over the roof, it being projected also by
a row OF large poplar trees. p. Potterton's
large furniture establishment was saved also
by wet blankets Had Steiwer & Co's store
caught fire there is no doubt the entire
town won have fal en- victim to the hell
ish fiend. The scorched boards of that and
Potterton's building are evide ce of the mar
rowness of their escape. Several dwelling
houses had tn paint roasted out OF them
also, those of J. II Putnam and Mr.. Ca :
penter, and were saved only by the most
determined efforts.
The livery stable was the most valuable
bnilding destroyed, and we are informed
that the building was not insured. One
horse. belonging to Charley Branson, who
had the stable rented, perlshed in the flames
He also lost lot of hay, harness, ETC.. and
the kind-hearted citizens at once raised
about 500 for him. We have not learned
if any of the other buildings were ins- red
or not.
The loss is about $4,000. The burnt dis
trict lies in the east edge of the town, and
as the wind was blowing furiously from the
west at the time. had the fire originated
anywhere in the west end of the town, moth
ing but ashes would now be left to mark the
beautiful townsite of Fossil.

Chief 0anapo in Salem.

Chiet Canapo, of the Columbia Indians
at Yakima, and his Interpreter. Charley
Ike, of the Warm Springs Indians, bright
young fellow, who can speak extraordInari-
ly good English, were 10 Salem last week to
gee the ''head man" of the state, who hap
pens to be Governor Pennover, but as he
was in Portland they had long conference
with Attorney General Chamberlain about
their grievances. which are the result of
what they claim is the unjust imprisonment
of two young Indians in the penitentiary
for malIciously killing sheep IN Grant coun-
ty. At the trial three Indians were con.
vIcted and sentenc from Grant county to
serve terms of SIX months each in the state
prison. About three months ago they were
taken to Salem and turned over to Superin!
tendent Down ng, Tut later one of them
was released on account of being almost at
deaths door with consumption The two
remaining-Albert Chenec ok and Scotchit-
are nephew and .stepson of Chief Canapo.
The chief expl med at some length that
''his two hoys" were convicted merely On
circumstantlal evidence The sheep were
found dead and near them were seen t. acks
and from that all of the evidence was taken
to fast the crime upon them However,
this sto quite different from the Grant
county side OF the affiir. vet no story is of
SO little Importance but that there are two
sides to it.

A Fatal Accident.
Eugene Guard.


!. Fl. Yates gave us the following in
formation concerning fatal accident that
happened to his sister near Elmira last
Saturday afternoon about O'Clock:
"hlrs. Maxwell has been living un-
pleasantly with her husband, G. d. Max
we'll, for some time past, having separated
from him last Monday. After being away
from his home for week he returned
and commenced abusing the lady when a
neighbor was sent to my house to inform
me of the fact. hastily went to their
home about one-half mile north of Gl-
mira finding the husband near the house.
He said that he would fix me, and that he
did not intend living any longer with my
sister, and was going to divide up the
property told him all right, but that
ne could moi maltreat her any longer. At
this he put his hand on his hip as if to
draw pistol and 1 ran 10 the house to
GET the shotgun, and my sister reached up
to the ceiling of the room to take the gun
down, drawing it by the muZzle, when by
some means one of the barrels went of,
the charge striking her in the left side
severing the main artery. She lived about
one hour, but was conscious for few
iseconds, only saying. L am shot, She
was 80 years of age, and leaves four small
children between the ages of Is months
and III years. The fun raj took place at
the Inmsn cemetery Sunday afternoon"

The Chicago Fire.

1t is quite remarkable how of late year!
the public fancy has turned towards pic
lures; within the last decade, newspaper
after newspaper has been compelled to illus
trate their publications daily. There is q
widespread desire to see. A book without
illustrations is like roast turkey without the
''fixings"-rather uninviting and not alto
gether palatable For years back the great
artists have turned their attention to the II.
lustrating of history, and they have done
more to give people an idea OF how great
battles were fought than any description o
them could have ever done. The last grea
effnrt to plctoriallv represent any histori d
event is the Cyclorama of the burning Of
Cn,cago. This is said to be by far the mosl
difficult subject ever attempted, and it wa
thought by many to Re impossible to faith
fully portray. If one may judge from the
glowing accounts given of this great scene
by the Chicago press, it must be the mos
remarkable production in the realm of art
Tne effects produced are startlIngly realistic
and faithfully show the situation in Chicago
when the great fire was at its height. This
unique and remarkable exhibition is attract
ing great deakof attention in the world
fair city. 1t is boused in elegant quarters
on Michigan Avenue, betw. en- Madison and
Monroe, aud will repain in Chicago until
after the worlds fair.
