THREE FIREMEN KILLED.
Fire at San Francisco Causes $10O, 900 Dam
age and Loss Of Three Lives.

San Francisco, June IA fire in a
business block in the southeastern par,
of the city. at noon, Sunday, cost three
firemen their lives and entailcd prop
erty loss of 100000.
The fire started mystcrously in the
four-story brick building owned by
Schoth & Westerticld. leased to the
Standard Biscuit Co. SO far as known,
the only occupants of the building, sun
day morning, were John Erwin, the
book keeper, and w. Cook, the cashier.
Cook departed at II and Erwin was still
occupied with his books ut noon when a
fireman rushed in and conveyed the in
formation that the building WAS ahlaze
in the upper stories. A stiff breeze famed
u-c fire within the brick walls, causing
it to spread with extraordinary rapdity,
ana it was soon apparent that the in
terror of the structure would be de-
Stfoyed.
Adjacent to the brick factory was a
row of Old wooden buildings, including y
branch of the Salvation barracks and
the southern police station. These
seemed doomed. Fortunately the police
station contained only three prisoners.
but the terrified yells and appeals of the
trio to be liberated caused intense excite
ment among the gathering crowds. They
wore transferred as quickly as possible
to the central station.
Meanwhile floor. after floor of the
cracker factory fell in, rendering the
walls unsafe Then the east wall of the
factory toppled over and sheet of flame
spread over the area adjoining. With the
crash of the east wall occurred the trag-
cdy of the conflagration. a falling tim
Der struck Fireman Mahoney on the leg,
breaking it. He refused to allow his
comrades to carry him away in their
arms. insisting that he must be borne off
on shutter. All hut two of the band of
iiremen ran to procure a shutter. and
just as they left their injured comrade
the wall fell. burying beneath a mass of
brick and mortar Mahoney and his faith
full friends. After much dangerous labor
the bodies Were recovered.
The loss on the brick building is esti-
mated at $4,000, with $50, 600 loss on the
contents, consisting of machinery and
stock. The cause of the fire is as yet I'M
known.

SHOT IN THE HEAD.
:
Edward Long Of Greenwich, Ct, Muir
dsred by Unknown Parties.
Was in Drunken Neutrality-suspicious. When
Found and Soon Died.

Greenwich. CT, June Edward Long
aged 49, a hack driver, died at his home
here, Sunday morning, from bullet
wound in the head. received in a melee,
Saturday night. Long was unconscious
when found and expired without being
able to give any information as to the
cause of the shooting. A man thought to
belong in Stamford and woman about
town are supposed to be the principals in
the affair but as their identity is not
known, no arrests have been made.
The affair occurred in the vicinity OF
the freight yards near Belle Haven
docks, where some hackmen met the I'M
known man with two women. 1t is
thought the entire party was under the
influence of liquor. "A free fight was pre-
cipitated, which was continued between
Long and the unknown man after the
others of the party had gone.
A passerby. about O'Clock Sunday
morning. found Long leaning over fence
and on investigation found that he had
been shot. Deputy Sheriff Fitzroy was
notified and had Long taken home, where
he died about 6 o'clock.
IA woman's hat found near the scene of
the murder has furnished clue which
it is believed will result in the identifica-
ton of the principals.
About six weeks ago, Long was rescued
from drowning by e. G. Benedict, who
discovered the lad on an upturncd boat
in the sound, and when he was taken
aboard the Oneida he was utterly eX-
hauSted. .... ----4...

ELECT THE REPUBLICAN TICKET

What the people of Mankato, as a
whole most desire at the present time
is clean, business-like administra-
tion of municipal affairs. They want
the city taken hold of and run on true
business principles, in which the
wishes, desires and interests of the
taxpayer will at all times be kept in
mind, while the best interests of the
entire city are served. The character
of the men whom the Republicans
have placed in nomination is a guaran-
tee that such will be the result if
they are placed in control.
Mr.. Under, the Republican candi-
date for mayor, is not politician in
the sense that word is generally used,
and has never mixed in any way with
political matters. In accepting the
nomination for mayor it was clear
case of the Office seeking the man, as
