Firemen Were Caught Under
the Falling Walls.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 1.-THE
largest and most destructive fire that
has occurred in Kansas City for years
broke out yesterday afternoon IN the
building of the Keystone Implement
company, 1917 to 1921 West Thir-
teenth street. Before the flames
could be subdued they had destroyed
$500, 600 worth of property.
Five men were injured, two of them
seriously. They were:
James Donnelly, fireman, of hook
and ladder No. 2; buried under a fall
idg wall; removed to Sisters hospital;

james P. Hope, colored, of 1925
West Thirteenth street; buried under
falling wall; will recover.

ing was the property of the company.
and was valued at $50, 600 It con-
tanned stock estimated at $75, 900.
The Buford- George building be-
longed to Charles Francis Adams of
Boston. It cost about $50, 600. The
company's stock is valued at $3.50, 600.
The two dwellings destroyed were
the property of the Keystone Imple-
ment company. They were worth
perhaps 1000.
The total loss is accordingly not far
from $500, 200. The insurance amounts
to only about SEQ, 600.
The cause of the gre, and even the
exact point at which it originated,
are unknown.

HE WAS BENT ON MURDER
A Desperate Cherokee Character Kills
Three People, One Woman.

A Desperate Cherokee Character Kills
Three People, One a Woman.
WAGNER, l. T., June I1.-Saturday
afternoon there was a robbery and
sensational tragedy enacted on the
road between Fort Gibson and
Tahlequah, where the big CherO-
kee payment is in progress. A stage
load of passengers was some miles
out from Tahlequah en- route to
Fort Gibson, the railroad station,
when Levi Sanders, desperate Cher
ol1ee character, who was on the front
seat with the driver and was consid
erably drunk, punched the driver in
the side with his pistol and ordered
him to hold up He then made the
passengers get out, and robbed them
of about $40 and some jewelry.
One man, a person from Texas,
who declined to give his name, was
shot through the breast because he
had no money to give up. The
wounded man is now in Fort Gibson
in critical condition, and may posi-
bly, recover, though he is shot entire
ly through the left lung. He was a
fine-lOoking, well-dressed man.
The robber then left, walking
through the woods in the direction of
Tahlequah- He soon found a man
and an Indian boy herding some
cattle. He began shooting at the boy
and killed him. He secured the horse
the boy was riding and when he again
emerged into the road, he came upon
two wagons containing two men and
some women He shot into one
of them, killing Mrs Duncan,
lady who is connected with one of
the best families of the Cherokee
nation. Her son, Levi Duncan, was
with her. He drew his pistol and
began shooting at Sanders as also did
the man who was in the other wagon,
but he was getting away on his horse
when young Duncan got Winchester
from the wagon and shot the horse.
Sanders was then afoot and could not
escape, and he was literally shot to
pieces. He was sot through the body
several times, through the head and
through the foot.

by two masked men about 1880 last
night The exact amount of money
secured by the robbers is not known,

amount, as it is thought the express
packages stolen contained large sums,
as a great deal of cash paid to the
Cherokees has been shipped by the ex-

that 5000 in cash was secured, 800 of

Electric Lights for q Cts a Month";

Honolulu uses the electric current for
most American cities of its population.
The reasons are found partially in the eli
mate conditions which urge the
adoption OF a light unaccompanied by
heat or an offensive odor. Furthermore,
no gas company has found our city an
inviting field for investment chiefly be-
cause Of its scattered condition and the
consequent large cost OF reaching
consumers; and electricity has thus met
no competitor except the original oil
lamp and the tallow candle. A thi.d
cause we believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
troduced by the Government, it was
offered 10 consumers on a basis OF rates,
which in many cases OF commercial
lighting and especially for night light
ing, COZ sideFably discounted the cost OF
oil for the same amount OF illumination.
The demand thus created soon reached
the limit of that Government supply.
Today the Hawaiian Electric Company
possesses working capacity equal TO
more than three times the present COM
bined incandescent output Of the Gov
eminent service together with our own.
We offer lighting at the Government
fat rates as follows:
Stores and Offices per Is c. p. light per
month $l.00
Residences per Is C. p. light per

Judge Whiting stated that in
view of the fact that there was no
Hawaiian jury, the Hawaiian cases
would be passed for the present.
The foreign jury was accordingly
summoned for 9 80 this morning.
Judge Cooper rendered a decision
in the case of III. Hackfeld Il Co.
vs.. c. Brewer ct al, being a bill for
an accounting. The Court finds
that the case Is one coming within
the jurisdiction of equity, and finds
that there was a valid contract be-
tween the parties. The Court,
therefore, finds that the plaintiff
company is entitled to an account
and the matter is referred to a mas
ter.
In the case of the Hawaiian Su-
gar Co. VS.. the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Co., plaintiffs motion
for an interlocutory decree was
made and argued before Judge
