A horrible holocaust occurred at Silver
Lake, Lake county, Ore, on Christmas
evening, in which forty.one persons were
burned 10 death and sixteen badly injured,
five Of whom will die. A large crowd had
assembled in hall to attend Christmas
tree festival. While the festivities we're at
their height some one climbed on bench,
from which to get a better view of what was
going on. In doing so his head struck a
lamp hanging from the ceiling, overturning
it. The oil Immediately caught fire. Every
thing being of a dry and inhammable ma
ture. the room was soon 4 mass of flames
Some one shouted shut the door and keep
quiet it can be put out" By this time the
confusion was so great that people began
scrambling in q wild endeayOr to reach the
door. Women and children were trampled
under foot, and, as there was only one exit
to the hall and the fire being between the
majority Of the crowd and the door, many
rushed headlong into the flames. There's a
hint in the foregoing brief statement Of a
great calamity that should not be lost to
those who have control Of public halls where
there is lack of egress facilities.

kid" Dreamer was arrested, Saturday,
on warrant charging him with assault
and battery upon Harry Fox. He was
taken before Judge Andrews, but Fox,
who was at home, suffering from rather
serious injuries, was unable to be present,
SO the case was continued until A. NJ.

As near as can be learned, Fox and
Creamer had a fight, Thursday night,
about 10 O'Clock, near the railroad track
at the rear Of the Reynolds boarding
house. Judging flom circumstances con-
nected with the affray, Dreamer intended
t6 I" do up his adversary in the fullest
sense of the phrase. Fox was found lying
ON the railroad track, about 10 minutes
before the arrival of the Pullman, and II
is quite probable that If he had not been
discovered there would have been fatal
ending to the ARRAY.
Dreamer was committed to jail and
will remain there until the trial, on

The funeral of the late Col. Thos. S,

bier was covered with profusion of floral
offerings. Rev. ". c. Curtis of the Con-

this city. Nearly every carriage Yves in
requisitiop, and the long line of the fun-
eral procession wendell its way to the city
of the dead, where the last sad rites were
performed. and the great heart and brain
of Col Lang was consigned TO the narrow
house of clay-The Dallas Times. Noun
| taineer, June %.
Regarding Col. Langs death the Dallas
Weekly Chronicle of June 10. published
the following:
No one was surprised today when the
utdtu VI HULL L. o. IIhuS was dhhOuhSSu
Since Thursday he has lain in an uncon-
scious condition, while he steadily grew
weaker and weaker. On that day Mr..
Lang started to go into the yard but
finding himself in too weak condition.
returned to the house and lay down upon
the bed, from which he never again was
to rise. Since Sunday evening he has
taken no nourishment and the hour of
death was known to be but short while
distant. This morning there was a
marked change for the worse and shortly
before O'Clock the spirit of Thomas S.
Lang passed away.
Mr. Lang was born June 16, 1896 and
was just two days past 60 years old. He
had been distinguished parsonage In the
political life of Maine before coming to
Oregon about the middle of the '70s. Mr..
Lang first engaged In stock raising, and
for several years was editor of the Wasco
County Sun. His articles, especially
upon the tariff question. attracted wide
attention all DER the Northwest and he
was known as IN authority from the pro
lection standpoint.
Thomas Stackpole Lang was man of
most generous impulses, and those who
had his friendship received loyal devotion.
To the Indian was he especially friend
and the remaining members of once
powerful tribes went to Mr. Lang in their
troubles, with the calm assurance that he
would help them.
The death of this gentleman will be
deeply regretted by the citizens of this
State many of them men high In posi-
ton. Although for the last year or two
his life has been in such precarious con-
dition that active duties had been very
much lain aside, yet he had long been
familiar figure in The Dalles, and his
loss will be sincerely mourned He leaves
wife and two daughters, son having
died many years ago.
