1t has been an exciting day for Ashland.
Settlers are coming In from oil directions.
running for their lives. At noon tho peo-
pie were called from worship by fire alarms.
The cinders and smoke became almost
binding ell over the city. Over thousand
volunteers were added to the fire depart
ment to tight the flames. At 3 o'clock there
was q wild cry of despair among the people
living near the Milwaukee, Lake Shore d.
Western railroad shops. The water works
had given ont, and there was no water The
chemical engines were brought. but it was
useless TO try to stop the flames. as
high gale of wind was blowing.
There are bat very few wells In the city.
The coal shops caught fire. and the plucky
engineers eoon had the thirty dead loco
motives fired up. running ell rolling stock
to the lake front. Household goods have
been burned and over q hundred families
are already homeless The sight was al.
most ObscuTed by the heavy clouds and cin-
dere. Twenty men were overcome in fight
ing the flames and taken to the hospital.
The timber and vegetation Is like dry
straw. No rain has fallen since July 10.
Three families near Marongo have perIshed.
The fremen. with wet blankets and goggles
on, cannot remain in the heat and smoke
long. At ParishvIlle the iron plant is burn
ing.
large number of women and children
who had rushed to the lake front were
only saved by a desperate effort with pa
troll wagons. The fire Is the same that hos
been raging further south ali week. 1t was
q hopeless struggle in the eastern part of
the city. The settlers arriving have pitt
ful stories to tell, and are being cared for
by those who still have houses. One man
named Egstrom was driven crazy by the
loss of his wife and family of two children.
His hair and eyelashes and clothes were
burned from his body when discov-
cred. As near as can be estimated
the fire now covers nearly two hundred
square miles and is sweeping north.
The damage to standing pine will be very
heavy and apprOximaLes not less than five
million dollars. A woman and baby, sup
posed to be the wife of settler. were picked
mp in an insensi ble condition tonight n ear
White River road. The child died soon
after arriving here. The mother is in de-
lirium. 1t IS supposed that her husband
perished on the Odanah reservation.
Indians are camping on a raft in Bad
river. and are hemmed in with an archway
of flames. All communication was cut off
from surrounding small towns to-day. 1t
is impossible to give details of to.days
losses. If rain does not come tonight the
death list will run up into the hundreds.

wildered by the dense smoke that filed

FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE
The Attorneys for Evans Work.

They Object to the Service of Papers
by Sheriff Scott and His
Deputies.

FRESNO, Nov. 21.-The selection of a
jury for the trial of Chris Evans. on the
charge Of numbering Vic Nelson. was con-
tinued before Judge Harris this morning.
1t is noticeable that the defense is asking
many apparent trivial and useless Ques-
tions, and the impression is that they are
trying for some reason to delay the work
of getting jury. For instance, one juror
was asked if he had any horses. and if he
ever drove them: also If be ever got angry
with them. He was asked besides if he
had any brothers or sisters. if be belonged
to debating society, if his father had
ever been a member of the Legislature,
how old his father was, etc.
Notwithstanding the lengthy examina-
tions six jurors were accepted to-day.
Their names are: j. f. Hamilton, J. w.
Reese, John S. Ambrose. Frank Estelle.
w. w. McAvoy and Charles Cakes. At
the close of the session the defendants
attorneys objected to Sheriff Scotts depu-
ties having charge of the jury on the
the reward for the conviction of Evans
The objection was sustained and j. w.
Smythe was appointed by the court as
special officer.
Altogether thirty-three jurors have been
examined The regular venire will proba-
bly, be exhausted in the morning and a
special issued.
1t is said the defense will object to Sher-
if Scott or his deputies serving the sum-
mons for special venire on the same
ground as the objection here tofore men,
toned was based upon.

of Charles Button, charged with the muir
der of Gus Bohn on August Is last, on

perior Court before Judge Otis of Depart
ment1.
A venire Of 100 men was called from
which TO select trial jury. At 8 80 o'clock
the names in the box were exhausted. with
only nine jurors sworn to try the case. A
special venire of ten was ordered and sum-
moned by the Sheriff to appear tomorrow

panel. The courtroom was crowded
throughout the day by interested spec
tators.
Charles Button, Gus Bohn and several
others made trip to Bear Creek on a
hunting snd fishing expedition. B0hn be-
came so drunk that he fell from his horse
while riding up the canyon. Some quarrel
some words passed between Button and
Bohn, when Button approached, and while
Bohn was prone on the ground stamped
him in the face with the heel of his boot
and broke in his cheekbone so that 1t
pressed heavily on his eye. causing Bonn
to become frantic with % 10.
Later on Bohn got gun to protect him
self and stood behind tree. Button then
shot BONN, killing him instantly. The
trial Of the case promises to be holly con-
tested on both sides. the defense having
employed Byron Waters and w. A. Har-
rls. II there should be further difficulty
in impaneling jury, the defense will prob.
ably move for change OF venue to an
other county where popular sentiment is
not so strong against the defendant.

BURIED BENEATH LAVA.
A Whole Town Swept Out of Eek
iStenCe.


VICTORIA, 3. c., Nov. 21.-Manila news
papers received by the steamship Empress
of China this morning are full of earth
quake and volcano.
The history Of early October, they
say, is written in streams Of lava. The
terrors of the dreadful week subsequent
to October were those of 1871 and las
summer intensified tenfold for the
people of Albay and Tabaco. The very
heavens seemed to be vomiting fire and
destruction. and the terrified inhabitants
ran helplessly hither aud thither or
crouched, white and trembling. expecting
every moment to be overw helmed
The first signs of impending danger
were apparent during the afternoon,
when subterranean thunders alarmed the
residents of the city OF Albay. At
half-past O'clock that evening the
crater of Mayor was seen to be in flames,
and lava and ashes poured in torrents from
a new outlet to the north of the old one
and not so near the summit, threatening
the homes of those who in fancied secur-
ity had built up on the mountain side.
Smoke VAS also seen issuing from the
old crater, and most alarming subterranean
noises were heard on every hand. 1t
seemed as though the very earth would
split in twain.
The eruptions reached their greatest
height inclining in south westerly direc-
ton, and the torrent of devastation con-
tinued to flow with undated fury until
the 9Th.
Over Albay that morning all was dark
ness OF night. broken only by great torch
light of Mayor, for the cloud OF ashes hid
the sky. The accum ulatiOn Of lava up the
mountain side reached and grew above the
limit line of former years and like terri
bic serpent commenced its descent upon
the village OF Banquerahan beneath.
The inhabitants seemed for the most
part petrihed by terror and watched with
staring eyes the great molten mass creep
nearer and nearer. a few of the drawer
spirits moving among them exhorted them
to fee for their lives. and these were in
great measure successful in their efforts
for destruction moved not quickly.
But little property was saved, however,
and the greater part of the town now lies
beneath an uneven lake of cooling lava.
where few weeks since was busy town
and prosperous settlement.
The whole surface of the mountain by
the 18th was buried deeply in ashes and
lava, one large stream had spread to the
westward and another southeast. The
sky was obscured by ashes and smoke, but
the eruption was decreasing ia intensity,
though subterranean thunders were
still audible. AT last advices, on the morn
ing of the 18th. the eruption was pract-
cally over, though there were signs of a
continuance. No statement even ap-
proximate, could be formed as to the
fatalities. but the loss of life, however,
was not thought to be above 100 souls.

II was purely accidental. Mrs. Skevo was
at the theater that night with some

lamp burning low in the rear room, in
tending to visit the store again on her We y
home from the sheaier. The supposition
is that the lamp exploded, ana as there
was always bottle of benzine kept on

accounted for the RAPID spread of the
