A fire occurred at Bancroft on July
9th, which proved very disastrous to
Mr.. j. III. Patton and family. They
were off to some neigboring village
spending the day and when they re-
turned found their house, stable and
all other earthly belongings in ashes.
The fire caught in some unaccountable
way and the people of the town were
unable to save it, the facilities for water
being very poor. The loss is estimated
at about 500 and leaves the family in
very Strengthened circumstances. -Poca-

KEMMERER.
NOW AN ASSURED FACT.
Ube H9ew Gown on Dam's
fork Is Surveyed.

The townsite of Kemmerer, on
Hams Fork, has been surveyed
into town lots, and will shortly be
thrown open to buyers. A new
depot will be built Immediately
and everything points to a live
booming town in the near future.
ITS SUPPORT.
Adjacent to the new town and
less than mile distant is the
famous Diamondville Coal COM
pany's mines. These mines are
being worked daily by about 800
miners and the output Of coal finds
ready and constant sale.
The quality, as is we'll known, is
one Of the best ever discovered in
soft coal. These mines are situated
east of south of the new townsite.
Northeast from Kemmerer, P. J.
Queafey is opening up his property
on grand scale. A spur Of track
about one mile long is being built
from the new town to the tipple on
this property, and it will be COM
pleted in few weeks. Three eight
hour shifts are pushing down on
fine vein of coal, and Mr.. Quealey
expects to be shipping within go
days. Several openings will be
made in different veins on the
mine and all of them put in shape
for shipping, if the demand war
Aants it.
Besides, there are several other
q aims close by, which are being
developed and will no doubt short
~ become producers.
1t is easily seen that there is
abundant iii sight for supporting
big town, and with such pushers
behind it as Mr. Quealey, there
can be no doubt of its future.
WHAT IT MEANS.
The opening Of such immense
coal bodies near by us and the
starting of a good town, means the
opening, also, Of a big market for
Bear Lake produce of all kinds, as
nothing can be grown there success
fully. We have reason to believe
the present markets for our pro-
duce will thus be enlarged, perhaps
one-half, and it will be a market,
too, that no other section can
touch, If handled iudieiously as
experience has shown in the case
of Rock Springs, the miners and
those employed about the mines,
are large consumers of vegetables,
poultry, eggs, meats, butter, cheese
and -four. A great number of
horses and mules are of necessity
employed about such places, and
here comes a big market for hay
and grain. All this Bear Lake
produces in abundance.
In fact, we cannot help but see
in the future Of this camp prosper
GUS times for Montpelier mer-
chants aud Bear Lake farmers, and
We wish the work all possible suc1

The announcement that DIR. l. II
Moore. medical superintendent of the
Idaho Insane Asylum at Blackfoot, had
been relieved by the board of directors
and DR.. Orr Poynter, assistant physi-
clan, left temporarily in charge, pend
ing the appointment Of new superin-
,tendent, caused considerable surprise/
W6-NRdeTstand that no reasons -vFgre
given but take It Tor granred that Gov
ernar Steunenberg and .the board de-
sired to make a place for some of their
political friends. We believe that Dr.
Moore has conducted the asylum in a
most satisfactorily manner in every re-
speet and, in fact, have at all times
heard his management spoken OF in the
highest terms. He has inaugurated
many improvements and has been emf
nentlY successful in his treatment of the
patients under his care. 1t seems too
bad that position of such Importance
and involving such responsibilities
should be dependent upon the whim of
a partisan board or should be hawked
about as reward for political services.

COSTLY FIRES.
Considerable Amount of Property
Consumed at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.-Ten
frame buildings containing the plant
of the South San Francisco tannery
were completely obliterated by a fire
which started at an early hour this
morning A B. Patrick & Co., owning
the tannery, placed the loss at over

reported the loss at only Sc, 900, in
surance 81, 900. The fire was started
by a spark from a locomotive.
Almost simultaneously five tenement
houses on Telegraph Hill were burned.
Tho families occupying them barely
escaped with their lives, so rapidly
did the flames spread in the ram
shackle wooden houses. Loss about
81, 800 e1
Another blaze destroyed four cot
tages on Wisconsin street in South
San Francisco last night. Loss $1,000.
An explosion of gas in the grocery

FAIR-CRAVEN CASE.
Expert Testimony as to the Hand
writing in the Deeds.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.-To-day
the Fair case, or as much of it as is
comprised within the trial of the case
OF Angus VS.. Craven, proceeded on new
lines. The plaintiffs efforts have been
directed heretofore to prove, first, that
Senator Fair was in San Rafael and
not in San Francisco on September "a,
1894, and consequently could not have
signed the alleged deeds; and second,
that the alleged acknowledgment be-
fore Notary Cooney was fraudulent, be-
cause the blank used was not printed
until long after Fairs death. Now the
plaintiffs propose to prove that the
handwriting in the deeds is not the
handwriting of James G. Fair. Expert
testimony is now holding the scene.
Theodore Kytka, an expert in pen
manship, who has devoted much time
to a microscopic examination of the
writings in the Fair case, testified in
the interest of the administrators, and
identified and explained numerous neg
atives of exhibits in the case, photo
which had been written by Fair. He
then proceeded to compare the writing
identified as Fairs with that in the So
called Craven deeds, the object being
to show that the deeds are not genuine.
Kytka admitted that he is and has been
for six months receiving from the Fair
administrators a weekly salary of $50.

GERMAN REICHSTAG.
Debate On fiction to Repeal the Lese
rlajeste Clause of the Penal Code.

BERLIN, May I'm the Reichstag
to-day, before the discussion of the
motion of Herr Doer, Socialist, to re-
peal the clause of the Penal Code deal
ing with lese majestic Herr Singer, So
cialist, said that a number Of officers
of the criminal department were in the
galleries of the House, and he expressed
the hope that visitors would abstain
from making remarks which might
bring them into trouble
Baron Won Buolbernerg. President of
the Reichstag, declared that he would
deal severely with any disturbance
Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader
opened the discussion. He declared
that the majority of the prosecutions
in the charge of lese majestic were the
work of infOrmers and of persons seek
ing private vengeance. He reminded
the House of the various expressions
used by Emperor William, notably his
reference in his Brandenberg speech Of
February last to a ''pack of fellows -
and the words of ''men not with pa
triotism,' alleged to have been used by
his majesty in dispatch to his brother,
Prince Henry of Prussia. Such utter
ances. Herr Bebel asserted, were cal
culated to undermine the good name of
the German people
The President of the Reichstag at this
stage of the debate called upon Herr
Bebel not to draw the name of the
head of the State into the discussion,
and under no circumstances use often
sive language.
In concluding his speech Herr Bebel
said that in cases of lese majeste the
person insulted should prosecute.

THE PURSUIT OF PARKER.
TraiIed Into the Black Hills, in Cen.
trail Arizona.

PHOENIX (Ariz), May 12-Word
was received this morning by telegraph
that Sheriff Ruffner has trailed Parker
the train robber in to the Black Hills,
on the Upper Verde FLYER, and that the
other escapes had scattered in the
Bradshaw Mountains, and were heading
toward the south.
The Indian trailers that assisted in
the capture of Parker last February
have been brought to Jerome on spe-
cial train. They left Jerome early to-
day, and will join the Ruffner posse and
run the murderer to earth. Another
posse has taken the field from here.
Governor Franklin issued a procla-
nation to-day offering a reward of
$500 for Parker, $500 for Miller and
$3.50 for the Mexican. 1t is conceded
that if Parker gets into the Magellan
Mountains, the direction he is heading
for, his chances of escape viii be tenn
porarily increased.
PHOENIX, May 12.-The posses sent
from Phoenix after Parker, the escaped
train robber, have been withdrawn, on
advices from Sheriff Ruffner of Yavapi
County that he had the fugitives sur
rounded. A heavy posse will be DIS
patched tonight by train from Has
samyampa Canyon, near Wickenburg,
to search the placer mining camps in
Santo Domingo district for the Mexican,

early in the flight, and they are now at
least 100 miles apart.

the ground that there is no mineral in
the Queen claim. over 800 property
owners are interested. If the located
claim can be patented, the property
thereon will belong TO the patentees.
Judge Rives of Salt Lake represents
the company, and has about ten min
ing experts here to testify, and Judge
Powers counsel for the plaintiffs, has
a number of others. A number of set
tiers are also present, and will testify
in their own behalf.
The loss of the case will be serious
one to them, as most of them purchased
the land for building at high figures
from people who had no right to sell.

FEDERAL PATRONAGE.
DR.. Hunter of Kentucky May Get the
Chilean Mission.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Secretary
Sherman and Senators Lodge, Cullom
and Burrows took up most of the time
of the President to-day, so that COM
paratively few of his old callers had an
opportunity to see him.
The contest for the Swiss Mission, &C
cording to the prevailing White House
gossip, is said to lie between Mr.. Lelsh-
man of Pittsburg, former President or
the Carnegie Steel Company, and Brutus
Clay of Kentucky. The friends of the
latter assert most positively that II
Leishman does not press his claim Gay

1t is understood that DR.. Hunter OF
Kentucky who made the prOtracted
fight for United States Senator as the
Republican caucus nominee, but who
ultimately was compelled to give way
in the interest of harmony, has been
informed by the President that he would
be glad to bestow upon him some fitting
position The Chilean Mission, which his
friends urged in his behalf, has been
promised 1t is announced that DIR. j. ).

EXAMINATION OF MCAMISH.
Sensation Caused by Testimony OF
the Sheriff of Ventura County.

LOS ANGELES, May 12.-The ex-
animation of Ed Mechanism, charged
with the murder of Constable II. Nc
Coy Pyle of Fillmore, was resumed to-
day at Newhall.
Sheriff Charlebois of Ventura County
caused a sensation by testifying to a
confession alleged to have been made
by Mechanism to Jim Madison. a
''trusty'' in the Jail. The Sheriff said
that on April 9th newspaper report
er visited Mechanism and divulged to
him the information that the handouts
said to have been placed by the pris-
oner on the alleged burglar had been
found in his (McCamish's) room. After
the reporter left Mechanism took Trusty
Madison into his confidence and adj
mitted having killed Pyle. He then
asked the trusty IF he would supply
him with poison, with which to COM
nit suicide, if the case went against
him.
Alfred Stone testified that Mechanism
visited him four weeks ago and sug
gested a plan to rob the Santa Paula
Bank, remarking that the only man he
feared was Constable Pyle.
Trusty Madison will testify to-mor-

TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.
The U. S. Supreme Court Postpones
Further Consideration.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The right
of railways to form traffic associations,
recently denied by the Supreme Court,
cannot come before the court again as
an issue before next winter. The action
of the court Monday in refusing to re-
hear the Trans Missouri case, and its
action a month ago in refusing to ad-
vance the joint traffic case indicates
that it is not disposed to take up the
question again for the present.
The points involved in these two cases
are almost Identical. Another decision
of the case would settle the issue, for
the joint traffic suit is yet to be tried.
The court, therefore, simply refuses to
burden itself with the retrial of a case,
the decision of which could accomplish
no public or private good. When the
joint traffic case is tried next winter the
court will again go upon record on the
right of railways to form associations.
