A Man Shoots His Wife, Fires a5 Their
Child anu kills Himself.
TACOMA, Sept. 1O.-A double murder
and suicide was attempted early this
evening at 1907 South d street, by
Albert Echren, who shot his wife
through the head, fired shot at
their little girl and then turned the
weapon upon himself, sending a bullet
crashing through his brain. The
woman will probably recover. The
little girl was unframed. McEchren
is fatally shot, but may live until to-
morrow.
The family came from Portland a
week ago. McEchren is locomotive
fireman, has been out of employment
for some time and dependency was
the cause Of he crime. After shoot
ing his wife in the bedroom, McEchren
walked into the kitchen, fired at
their child ami then fired a
bullet into his own head. The bullet
passed through the wOman's head,
from under one ear, and through the
opposite cheek. McEehien put hole
clear through his own brain, and vel
afterward washed mis- hands and an.
swered questions before being removed

It Is Charged That Lumbermen
Started the Forest Fires.
A COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING,
After Stealing the Timber Lumbermen
Instructed Employees to Burn the
Ground Over.

CHICAGO, Sept. S.-A special from
ST.. Cloud, Mimi, says: There are in
timations that the state senatorial
committee which for months has been
investigating frauds against the state
in cutting pine from school lands, will
be able TO show astonishing evidence.
Not only have timber pirates anpro-
priated millions of dollars worth
lumber belonging to the state, but in
trying to cover up their stealiugs
started the fires which resulted in ter
ribie loss of life an d property in Pine,
Kanabec, Carlton and other counties.
1t is charged that the lumbermen fired
the lands which they improperly
cleared, to render the assurement of
stumpage impossible, and thereby
shut off suits which the commission
might attempt TO bring against them.
In one of the chief hotels, the St.
Cloud, u scout employed by the COM
mission to ferret out cases of lumber
Lhieving, has declared he had secured
sworn evidence that millions OF feet of
lumber had been stolen, and as soon as
it had been cut the lumbermen in
structed their employees ITO burn the
ground over, and make good clean
/ Jobs of it,"
A torch thrust here and there into
piles of toppings in such u season as
this starts a fire that eats the s.umps
from which the lumber is cut down to
Jumps of charcoal, and when the
CANCERS of the commission come to
measure the stumpage on the ravaged
school lands they are left with abso-
lutely no basis for calculating the
amount of lumber stolen. This is what
the crooked lumbermen want, but in
starting these fires they made alto
gether TOO clean job. The fires have
spread over 1000 square miles Of coun-
try. They have destroyed, nobody
knows how many, hundreds of human
lives, aud devoured 100000 600 worth
of property.

SHOT BY TWO ROBBERS.
Saloonkeeper Crosse Probably Fatally
Wounded.

BUTTE, Sept. 9.-Steve Crosse, a
Meadville saloonkeeper, was PROBABLY
fatally shot in hold-up between 1890
ana IL O'Clock last night. The robbery
was one of the most daring that has
ever occurred in Butte, and its result
shows the desperate character of the
game of thieves who are making their
headquarters in Butte.
Twelve or fifteen men were drinking
and playing cards in the saloon when
two masked men suddenly entered the
front door and ordered the crowd 10
throw up their hands, command that
was quickly obeyed.
One of the men had a gun In each
hand and he stood guard at the door
while his partner, who carried big,
murderous looking revolver, went be-
hind the bar to where Crosse was
standing. He first relieved Crosse OF
his money and watch, which were
! placed in a sack that he carried at his
waist, after which Crosse, at the rob
f. ber's command, went up TO the end Of
the bar next to the window and stood
there with his hands elevated.
The thief then opened the cash drawer
ana emptleu us contents INTO MS Capd
| cious sack, after which he joined his
partner at the door. Just as they were
going out the door they opened fire Al
Crosse and the latter snatcbed up his
gun, which was lying close at hand, anC
returned the fire. The men who were
in the saloon say that as the thieves
were going out, the foremost said to hi
partner, 'Shoot the - any
I IL. - \.
E Crosse, they say, did not shoot unit
they commenced shooting at him. Al
of the men who witnessed the shooting
were too much excited to tell a YER
straight story, but it is probable tina
the thieves fired the first shot.
One of their bullets struc< Crosse il

DULUTH, Sept. 9.-Forest fires we're
renewed again today in this region by
q heavy southwest gale, which steadily
increased in force. The sun was shut
out and the horizon had a yellow coat
similar to that of the fatal Saturday OF
a week ago. There was great excite
ment here. The situation was intensi-
fled by the breaking out of forest fires
in the city limits. The lire crept
around in the underground at Oneata
and caused some apprehension. Then
an alarm came in from Duluth Heights,
IL suburb. which is surrounded by tim
Der. The fire department sent de-
tachment, which later sent for the tire
engine. Excitement was at fever
heat, for news had been coming OF the
sidetracking of St. Paul & Duluth
passenger train because of fires o. all
sides of it; aud Mora, on the Eastern
Minnesota road, was reported on fire.
Took Refuge in River.
Al 3 O'Clock this afternoon the oper-
ator at Mora, on the Eastern Mime

operator at Duluth about the danger of

saying: tits getting fearful hot down
here. The people have nearly all taken
refuge in the Snake river, and I'll
have to follow unless here is lat-up."
Just u few minutes passed, and ne SAID,
"I'll fly" Tests of the wires lew
minutes later proved they had gone
down. The people took warning IN
time and are believed to be safe.
