The psNoLgroN INSURANCE FIGHT
Cunningham's Failure TO Realize on His
Policies Makes q bitter Fight.

Pendlcton, June 27.-The suit pending
between Charles Cunningham and the
insurance companies, in which Cunning
ham seeks to force the companies to pay
some $36. 900 of money on the recent ranch
losses. has been the occasion of raising a
very important issue, which has attract
ed the attention Of the legal fraternity
and the business public all through the
country. Cunningham had had placed on
his property a large amount of Insurance.
The property, or part of II, was unen-
numbered at that time. on some there was
mortgage, and then Cunningham gave
additional mortgages and had the mort
cages which had been held released and
new ones given to other parties. The fires
occurred and the adjusters came to look
over the loss. They delberated long and
sought the advice of skilled counsel, with
the result that they served formal notice
on Cunningham that liability on the part
of the companies would be denied in toto,
excepting on u few trfling items. This
position was based on the fact as alleged
that the assured did not give notice to
the companies when the mortgage rights
were altered by the filing of new instru-
ments and the making of additional mort
cages.
Although there has been no complaint
filed with the clerk of the circuit court,
1t is given to understand that the posi-
ton of the assured as set forth by coun-
sci will be that the placing on record of
an instrument with the county officials
in itself constitutes u notice to all per-
sons. and that 1t Is not incumbent upon
the assured to serve notice on the com
panies separately.

syMEs HAS BEEN CLOSELY TRACED
Seen in the Vicinity of Wilbur Tuesday
by Number of People.


Wilbur, Wash, June Ell. C. Shaw,
who lives in Huff's canyon, five miles
from the mouth OF Grand coulee on the
Columbia river, reports that Symes, the
murderer of Lou Conlee, stopped at his
ranch about o'clock on Tuesday after
noon and was riding a roam horse that
was almost winded. When told that he
was riding rather hard for warm
weather he replied that he was hunting
band of horses. Sheriff Thompson of
Adams county with a posse OF about 40
men had left bit a few hours when the
messenger arrived with the above news.
ALT Thomas, who has just returned
from the river, reports that Symes also
showed up at the Whitestein ranch
about o'clock Tuesday afternoon and
asked to be allowed to stop, but as Mrs.
Whitestein was alone his request was
refused.
S. II. Mckee, who knows the MUIR
derer, returned from q trip to Hawk
creek yesterday and when informed of
the murder he declared that he met
Symes in the postoflice here Tuesday
afternoon.
The river crossings are all well guard
ed, but the supposition is that when he
left the Shaw ranch going west he
crossed the river at some out-of-the-
way place and is now on his way to
British Columbia.

Minneapolis, June 2s.-Last nights fire
In the wholesale crockery establishment
of Mcdonald Bros, on First avenue south,
near Third street. is the most disastrous
in the loss of firemen's lives In the history
of Minneapolis. Five brave fellows lie
mangled and lifeless and six of their com
rades are writing in agony at the hospi-
tails, two of whom may die.
The fve-story brick building with its
enormous stock of crockery is In utter
ruins. The blackened walls, broken win
dows and drenched floors of the adjoin-
ing buildings bear evidence to the victory
won by the department against great odds
in combining the flames to the place of
their origin. The list OF killed Is as fol-
lows:
Frank Uhelin, lieutenant; Walter Rich
ardson, Joseph w. Hoy, John Horner and
Christian Sande.

The flames had beer kept well within
the building by the iron shutters until
the interior was a blazing furnace. a
newly dug cellar of a proposed building
permitted access on one side. and this
point of vantage was occupied by a score
of firemen who were directing half doz-
en- streams into the building. Suddenly
the roof fell with roar The crash car
ried down the Orders and the side walls
wavered an instant, then toppled over or
the heads OF the firemen beneath The
vast cloud of smoke and dust that arose
from the debris choked out the flames mo-
mentarily and there was no sound save
| the breathing OF the engines. Then the
police and willing helpers rushed forward
| and pulled the mangled forms of the dead
and living from the hot bricks.
| The loss is $4,000 on the building and
| $4,000 on the stock. The Insurance is am
| pie to cover this.

TYLsR.LAsT CHANCE INJUNCTION
" i'll Probably De Dissolved and Work
Resumed on the Latter MING.


Boise, June 27.-Judge w. d. Hepburn
is here to argue the application for dis
solution of the injunction In the case of
the Tyler VS.. the Last Chance Mining
Company. A writ was issued by Judge
Beatty some time ago requiring the Ty-
Ter people to show cause tomorrow why
they should not be required to furnish
an additional bond of $4,000 or that the
injunction be dissolved. This Is the in
junction granted on application of the
Tyler people when the famous litigation
began several years ago.
When the supreme court of the United
States recently decided against the Ty-
Ter mine, remanding the case for a new
trial, the Last Chance owners claimed
an additional bond or the right to resume
work. So far as known the Tyler COM
pany is not represented here. Judge Hey
burn states that IL the injunction be dis
solved the Last Chance will begin work
Immediately. This is one of the leading
mines of the Occur d'Alenes, and its re-
sumption would put large number of
men to work. Hepburn says everything
is quiet in that section and indications
are that there will be no trouble.
