DON'T WANT TO SELL.
But Mr.. Smith Proposes to Hold Him to
His Bargain.

Old Orchard, June 27.-Some weeks ago
house and stable owned by John
Trafton, former resident, but now of
Massachusetts,, was offered for sale by a
Biddeford real etate agent for 5000, he
claiming to act under instruction from
the owner. Alonzo r. Smith bought the
property, paying $75 down. to bind the
bargain, and later depositing 1926 with
the understanding that the deed was to
be made out when Mr. Trafton came on.
He received the keys of the place, and
put new lock on the barn. He then
leased the house for the summer.
Today Mr.. Trafton appeared and said
he never had agreed to sell the place. and
hadn't sold it, and his son said the agent
had no right to sell the place. Mr. Smith
told him that the agent had his written
instructions to sell it, and that he must
deliver the deed. At that Mr.. Trafton
broke the lock and entered the stable.
The case is one of much interest, as near
ly all real estate deals are made here
through real estate agents. Both sides
have consulted members of the bar, and
there may be very hot legal contest.

The worst fire this city has had in
thirty years started about six O'Clock to-
night in this rear of the San Francisco
box factory on Fifth and Harrison streets
Before the department. reached the ground
the flames were sweeping through a numE
Der of frame buildings on Fourth street,
which backed into the box factory and
had leaped across the street to the
Southern Pacific ware houses. A second
alarm was turned in to be followed by
third and fourth in rapid succession but
before half the department had connected
lines it was seen that the fire was entirely
beyond control, and word was telegraphed
to Oakland and Alameda for assistance.
The sister cities quickly responded with
two engines each. A strong wind was
flames across the broad streets, sweeping
everything in its path. Shortly after the
second alarm,- u heavy explosion shook
the city. 1t was said that four kegs of
powder stored in one of the big ware
houses .of the Southern Pacific had
blown up. Heavy embers were whirled
through the air for blocks. These landed
Oll tilc llSIU IrttlI6 lUlTUQ6r edSU,
and in a short time the firemen were
practically hemmed in. Tho wind
gradually died down, but the suction of
the now roaring acres of infammable
material continued to draw embers three
and four feet long through the air
Shortly after seven O'Clock the wind
suddenly changed to the cast and drove
the flames back over the burning district
The following are some OF the buildings
destroyed: Heuler's furniture factory;
George W. Phelan's wagon and i uck
factory; Capital box factory ~ eiont

lishment; l. F. Ncehauf's hardware store
Garrick, Williams & 4Vright's box
factory.
At 8 45 the fire was gotten under con-
troll. The high brick wall of the deserted
Southern Pacific offices on Fourth and
Townsend streets, acted as a barrier over
which the flames could not pass.
Many rumors of loss of life are current.
Three fremen were overcome by the heat
and taken the hospital. Over fifty dwell
ings were destroyed. Three hundred
families are homeless, but some managed
to- save d portion of their goods.
Thus far no authentic account of the
loss of life is given out.
St. Rose church was destroyed, a new
structure upon which thousands of dollars
had been expended A conservative
estimate of the loss is 81, 500, 600, with
about $500, 900 insurance.
