REAP|AG THE WHIRLW WIND,
The Tacoma Commercial Bank
Compelled to Close Its
Doors.
Municipal Disaster Caused by the
Crooked Work of an EX-
City Treasurer.

TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 16.-The Com
mercial Bank was compelled to close its
doors this morning. Its officers are: Pres
ident, Frank Allyn; vice-president, ". R.
Rust; cashier, A. Bridgman. The cause
is attributed to the demand made by City
Treasurer McCauley for $4,000, with which
he was to pay interest On city bonds.
The trouble arises over the holding by
the bank of bogus warrants. which have
been declared by the city as illegal, but the
accounts of Treasurer McCauley, who took
the office after George W. Boggs, show
that the city had q deposit at the bank.
Boggs' criminal operations have put the
city in terrible hole, and the penitentiary
has yawned for him repeatedly.
He is now in California. S. NJ. Nolan,
one of the directors, has been appointed
receiver. President Allyn is prostrated
and feels the disaster keeniy. The total
liabilities of the bank do not exceed
$40, 600. The demand was made against
the Columbia Bank, but they also failed to
comply TO the City Treasurers request,
and they will close their doors in the
morning.
Ii the city has apparently on hand in
the banks a large sum of money it is be-
cause a corrupt City Treasurer deposited
therein warrants that had been paid with
city funds. If it has large sums OF interest
due it is because by fraud and villainy it
has been saddled with an immense bonded
debt, and now the city is reaping the

EXPLODING THE SHRAPNEL
Light Battery F Does Excel
lent Practice at Red
wood City.
Now in Readiness to March Over
the Hills and On to
Monterey.

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Oct. 16.--The
artillery practice of Light Battery was
concluded to-day, and the battery is now
in readiness for to-morrow's march across
the mountains, en- route to Monterey.
To-day's firing was at representation of
artillery formed battery front The
ranges or distances shot over were at $3.50
yards, 1850 yards and 1900 yards.
The interest to-day centered largely in
noting the manipulation of shrapnel time
fuse, the object in firing shrapnel being
not SO much to hit the ground occupied by
the enemy as it is to explode the shrapnel
in the air at given spot slightly over and
about nifty yards in front of the target, so
the bullets within the shrapnel will be
dispersed and deal destruction over q large
area when the shrapnel bursts
To command a battery of guns each
gun trained at slightly varying angles, and
then explode each shrapnel at a given
spot IN the air in front of target perhaps
a mile and half distant, calls for rare
degree of skill. But this is the practice
that Uncle Sam demands, and this is what
has been repeatedly accomplished here
this week.
During the artillery practice, conducted
by Captain Norris there have been no ac-
cldents, and it is claimed that Battery F
never had an accident with the guns. This
is sufficient to show the exact methods
which prevail and which go to make up
such favorable results as have been secured
during the visit of the battery.

The Man Who Escaped With an Oregon
Boot Is Charged With Many
Crimes.

EUREKA, CAL, Oct. 16.-Russell, the
wounded robber, is safely lodged in the
County Jail and is being carefully guarded.
He is resting easily and will recover
rapidly. Shortly after his escape here

Collector BIacEradn


Collector BtacEfnan.
PORTLAND, Or, Oct. i6-Collector OF
Internal Revenue Blackman is said to fear
official decapitation on account of charges
filed against him by the Democratic State
Committee. The charges were filed almost
year ago, but so far no action has been
taken by the department at Washington.
1t is said that he put his wife in office at a
salary of $1,000 and that she did no work.
II was performed by other clerks.
The matter has been dormant but
members of the State committee have
written to Washington demanding action
and they expect it soon. The greatest
difficulty is mis- persistence in keeping a
Republican chief deputy, J. F. Davis, in
ofhce while many Democrats want the
position: He promised months ago to
dismiss Davis, but has not done so, which
Is the occasion of letters to Washington.
Local Democrats count on the enmitv of
Van Sender, private secretary to Carlisle.
Van Sender desired the appointment of ].
a. Munday OF Washington to the Revenue
Office, and was chagrined at the appoint
ment OF Blackman. toward whom he has
no feeling of friendship The charge
against Blackman of employing his wife
while she did no work, is practically ad,
mltted by him, and he attempts to excuse
the action and has since taken her ont of
the office.

Late News From Vancouver Tells
of Burning Forests In That
Vicinity.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 16.-For the past
two days and nights heavy fires have been
raging along the sides and SUBMITS of
hills lust west of Twenty-fifth street, and
between Barnes and Cornell roads. The
limits of the fires extend even north of
Cornell road and partly surround the large
and elevated area known as Willamette
Heights. These fires are within the CITY
limits and owing to the altitude can be
seen at night from any part of Portland,
and are visible to the great stretch of
country east of the Willamette.
The view tonight, which is one not soon
to be forgotten, was witnessed by many
thousands OF people. The fiery belt ex-
tended from the old Barnes road for fully
half mile to northward, covering side and
summit of the wooded hill. The bright.
flashing flames illuminated the whole
western heavens, and the roar and
cracking OF the fire could be distinctly
heard.
Just how the fire was started is not
known-most probably from carelessness; 4;
and when or where the ravages will cease
Is at present serious problem. No build
ings have been destroyed yet, bur destruc-
tIon TO the young and thrifty trees is
great. The long dry spell has reduced the
weeds, grass, small underground and foli-
age to a tlnderlike state, which feeds the
flames and aids their rapid spread.
1t Is feared that serious damage to prop
erty may result from these fires. This is
the first forest fire that has swept over the
western suburbs of Portland for great
many years. Owing to the proximity OF
these fires great clouds OF smoke roll down
upon the city.
A dispatch from La Camas states that
brush fires menace some OF the buildings in
that town. An alarm of fire was sounded
by the bells and whistles, and almost
every man in La Camas is out fighting
the fire. Ali of the threatened places were
saved except a vacant house, known as
the Fuller place. This caught fire in so
many places that ii proved impossible to
save it. 1t is probable that about half
mile of plank road north of La Camas

Late news received from Vancouver.
Wash, is to the effect that a number OF
forest fires are again burning tierceIy in
several portions OF the county. One of
the worst of these, and one likely to cause
tie most damage, was raging in the tim
Der along 1he road near the head of La
Camas Lake, about ten miles from here.
According to reports received here no
olher damage than the destruction of
fences and one or two small buildings has
so far resulted; but farmers living in the
vicinity OF the fires report that unless soon
checked much damage to farm propertv
must soon result

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Oct. 16.-Thomas
MCGOWAN, an old-time resident of this
place, was killed early this morning at the
depot by freight engine. 1t is not known
how he was struck, but his remains were
found scattered for 100 yards along the
track. He was literally ground into frag-
mentS.
The only piece of his body of any size
found was the forearm and one hand. His
head was cut into fourteen pieces. The re-
mains were recognized only by the old
amputation of finger OF one hand and a
recent injury to another. The sight was
the most horrible imaginable.
MCGOWAN was a well-educdted man, who
in early life had occupied a good position
in society bust drink finally led to his
death. He had just drawn $50 IN wages as
laborer, and when last seen was drunk.
