Henry Iseringer Killed at the stucco Mill

Last Friday morning Henry Beringer
who has been working at the stucco
mill for long time, quarrying the
stucco, was suddenly killed by the
falling Of an immense rock, which
struck him on the back of his head.
He died almost instantly. He was
married only last November and the
shock to his young wife was pitiful,
though she is being comforted and
cared for by her good friends, Mr.. and
Mrs. Parrott-for whom Henry had
worked for about eight years before
being employed at the stucco works
Deceased was 26 years old, and an in

A HOT FIRE AT FARoo's,
The Stable and Store Rooms of Fargo srer.
camille Company Burn Last
Evening.

After the STAR forms were on the
press Thursday evening. the fire alarm
was given and the buildings at the
rear of the Fargo block were all ablaze.
It is thought some children set it while
playing near the stable. The stable
was first discovered on fire, but it soon
spread to the adjoining outbuildings,
in which were gasoline and other oils,
making it a terrific blaze, though con-
fined to a small space. A quantity of
powder which was stored in the build
ings was gotten out before the fire
reached it.
The fire companies were all quickly
on the ground, but the water was slow
in doing duty, and at no time was the
force anywheres near what it should
be, nor what it used to be-being dis
gustingly scarce, with little pressure.
Had the wind been blowing strongly
from the west the entire Fargo block
would probably have been lost, togeth
er with other buildings in that part of
town; but fortunately there was no
wind. One horse (the old white Doc
Peirce horse that everybody knows)
was burned to death, and another was
terribly burned. The loss is about $500,
with no insurance.

way or the other atthe coming election
and it should be done carefully and
considerably and not by appeals to
the baser passions Of men as is too
much the case, we are sorry to say, by
both sides. We are all citizens Of the

An AuxiiIary Band.

k/About fifteen boys or young men are
wanted by Director Peterson to learn
band instrument mnsic/ for the purpose
of organizing an auxilHyy to The Dalles
concert band, with a yie~>to consolidate,
in the near future. Only those of good
character who have the time to practice
need apply. 6Tuition VIII be free. A
promise viii be exacted from each ap-
plicant that he will practice at least one
hour each day. 1t is Mr.. Peterson's idea
to increase the membership of The Dalles
band to thirty pieces, and make it the
grandest musical organization west of
the Rocky mountains. Those who desire
to learn to play will call at SO Wash
ington street on Saturday afternoon,
when all necessary arrangements will be
made. This is an opportunity which
seldom occurs to those who are anxious
to learn, aud it is fortunate The Dalles
possesses director with both the ability
and the inclination to build up band
which will be the finest in the entire
Northwest. THE CHRONICLE predicts
there will be no lack of applicants, and
that local pride win be awakened
which will not stop short of the most
complete success.

1T WASN'T LOADED.
Oh No, but the Pistol Exploded just
the Same.


Mf. r. B. Hood came very near losing
his life yesterday by the pistol that
wasn't loaded. A stranger came into
his store about O'Clock in the afternoon
with revolver which he wanted to sell
and\ exhibited it to Mr.. Hood. The
ownef took out the cylinder and emptied
it of the cartridges with which it was
filed, iput it back, and commenced to
show Mr.. Hood how easily the trigger
worked. OF course the best place to
point it was at Mr.. Hoods stomach He
pulled back the hammer, when timely
exclamation from that gentleman saved
his life.
''Don't point that at mel" shouted
Mr.. Hood. ST don't care if it isn't
loaded.''
''Oh, you are one of those fellows that
are afraid of gun without lock, stock or
barrel, are your" said the stranger sar-
castIcally.
Eyes, am,'' replied Mr.. Hood. "I
don't want q weapon pointed at me
it," and he reached for the pistol, which
was handed him, the hammer yet be-
ing set.
Now Mr.. Hood had just as firm be-
lief that pistol wasn't loaded as the
stranger, or he would never have
smashed his own chow case. He had
seen the man extract the cartridges, and
these he yet held IN his hand. True, he
didn't count them, but then the man
surely took them all out. He was con-
fident, and so was Hood, but then he
didn't like to hare even an empty pistol
pointed at him. Perhaps he was foolish,
but some way it made shivers run up
and down his back. 1t was unpleasant
for some curious, but occult reason. So
When Mr.. Hood reached for the pistol,
he pointed it at his show case and
snapped the trigger. There was an ex-
plosion. A real bullet crashed through
the glass, went out the opposite side,
twenty feet beyond into some croekery
and glassware, struck against the wall
and fell to the floor. Hood was SUR
prised.. The stranger was asdumbfounded.
He counted the bullets in his hand and
saw there were fire. He made the
usual apology, but fortunately did not
have life to account for. Mr.. Hood
bought the pistol and the man went
thoughtfully away.
If Mr.. Hood had been killed, the
Netranger would have been arrested and
tried for murder. There were no wit
Rhesses and the evidence would have
been circumstantial. Possibly he would
have been found guilty and hanged, so
that two lives hung in the balance in
that instant of time that Mr.. Hood ex-
claimed Don't point that pistol at me. -
The strangers identity Is lost. Mr..
Hood never saw him before or since, but
whether they ever meet again or not,
they win both remember that thrilling
moment when one stood upon the
threshold of death by means:of the pistol

Free for All Fight in Which Many We're
Hurt.
The latest thing in the way of riots
occurred in New York last Monday. A
large firm announced that at 8 o'clock
that day it would put bicycles on sale
at SIS each. BY 7 o'clock standing
room was at premium on the street,
and when the great doors swung open
there was mad rush for the bicycle de-
partment. A policeman had his BIS
crushed against an iron pillar, woman
fell down and was trampled under foot,
and man went into commissions, At
the bicycle department the rush turned
into free-for-all fight, and there was
hair pulling and scratching. and the air
was laden with curses of maddened men
and screams of frightened women. FL
nally an inspector, with party of po-
licemen, arrived on the scene, and with
much difficulty elected the crowd and
closed the department. All this occurr
ed in five minutes time.
