FIRE STOPPED THE TRIAL.
Burning of Crescent Mill Dry Kiln
slaves or Repleyin,

a somewhat humorous tinge was given
to a rather grave matter on Wednesday,
when an exaggerated report OF fire in
the Crescent Lumber Company's yard
reached Justice Caldwelrs court and post
poned. or 10 use a good shingle phrase.
STAYED off a replevin suit against that
company.
There was really a fire. but 1t turned
out 20 be not half so serious as was re-
ported. II started about / O'Clock yester-
day afternoon in the dry kiln Of the Aud
Single Company at Ballard, and before IL
could he checked the kiln was in ruins.
The contents, however. some $50, 600 shin
giles, were but slightly damaged. The fire
IS supposed 10 have started from a spark,
and was subdued by the assistance of the
Stinson water system. This is the fourth
experience of the kind that the yard has
undergone; in each instance the fire has
started in the same kiln, and each time It
has been extinguished before any cons,d-
cradle damage had been done The loss
yesterday on the kiln was $500; that on
the shingles has not been estimated
The mill is at present operated by the
Crescent Lumber Company under a lease
from the Aud Shingle Company. Yester-
day the Stmson NH Company had
brought a replevin suit in Justice Cala-
wells court against the Crescent Lumber
Company. and the case had about reached
conclusion, when a man entered the
court room with the startling tidinE~ that
thu entire plant under lease ~ the Cres-
cont Lumber Company had been burned 10
the ground. The announcement effected
an unexpected stay In the proceedings.
though no minute OF the fire appears on
the court docket

Yesterday by Hing with the clerk OF the
United states district court an answer TO

that he Is responsible for the lapSing Of
