The Fire Fiend.

The ROYAL restaurant and l. X. l..
barber shop were burned last Thursday
night. At about ten O'Clock the alarm
OF fire was sounded. The flames started
in one of the bed rooms on the second
floor, presumably from the over turning
of lamp One of the dodgers says he
was arors d by commotion i'll another
room and heard some talking about
sniothering fire with blanket. The
man who heard the talk about fire rush
ed into the hallway and gave the
alarm by beating upon the bed room
doors. The occupants of the room where
the fire originated escaped to the street
by the front window and so far as known
they have told what they know about
the cause of the confagration.
Mr.. John Bell of the firm of Bell &
Bollinger the proprietors of the
restaurant. He was aroused by rap on
his door and the cry of FIRE. He barely
had time to rush from his room in his
night clothes. He and J. w. Kelly
were first to give the alarm to the force
in the kitchen and through them the
alarm was sounded upon the street.
All the dodgers were aroused before
even the men who were at work on the
first floor were aware of the fire. They
escaped some of them by the stairs but
more by the front window jumping to
the sidewalk below distance of ten feet
Almost Immediately after the first alarm
was given the flames burst into the hall
way and filled the whole second floor.
And before the hose cart arrived the
fire had broken through the roof. 1t
was impossible for the dodgers to save
any of their effects. some of them losing
all of their clothing. Very few of the
| restaurant fixtures were saved The
| fire in an incredibly short time broke
through to the first floor and drove the
men into the street.
| The fixtures of the barber shop such
as chairs and mirrors we're saved but the
water tanks and tubs of the bath room
were destroyed.
| The hose carts reached the ground il
a short time after the alarm was sounded
on the street but there was another delay
in getting the water on the fire. 1t is ar
old story repeated in every account Of g
Lewiston fire, that an unwarranted delay
occurred i'll getting water on the fire
after the apparatus is on the ground.
The building occupied by the Roya
restaurant belonged to Hank Trimbl,
land the one occupied by the barber shol
belonged to Miss Sarah Thompson
is reported that that the buildings wer'
uninsured. They were old structure
and of little value, but were rented for
high figure. On the restaurant fixture
and stock there was insurance for $50
which will only cover portion of TIL,
actual value of the property. The bar
ber shop carried no insurance. But TIL

Thought His Legs Broken.

Very often there are amusing
incidents to be found in accidents
of various kinds, such as that of
yesterday morning down along the
road. 1t is said that when the
collision occurred, a we'll known
caterer of the city who was sitting
in one Of the seats in the passen-
ger coach, was thrown violently
forward. His knees struck forci-
bly, against the seat in front of
him. Jumping to the floor aud
dancing around at lively rate,
the caterer declared that he knew
both his legs were broken. Some.
one called his attention to the fact
that he was dancing about and the
caterer sat down with a very fool
ish look.

The Salary Bill.

OF the suit which was introduced hv
Auditor Stookcy Boise dispatch ui
Yesterday says:
The supreme court tolay deciced that
the county salary law OF the last session
is valid excepting that portion which
provides that commissioners MAY fix
their own salaries. There is nothing in
the constitution, the opinion SAYS. which
sanctions the principle of an officer fixing
his own salary, and common honesty and
public morals demand that such policy
shall not be adopted by the commission
erS. Until there is further legislation
upon the subject commissioners shall
draw their pay under the old law, which
gave them 70 a dav, not to exceed $500 a
year, and expenses. They cannot charge
mileage, however. The court holds that
orders of county commissioners fixing
salaries can be appealed, as in the case of
other orders made by such bodies The
court expressed the opinion that it would
have been better for the legislature To
have classified the counties and estab-
lished salaries absolutely, instead of con-
ferring authority upon commissioners to
fix them within certain limits, but il
holds there is nothing to prevent delega-
ton of this duty to the commissioners.

Another Runaway.

The Cox delivery team ran away this
morning. The mad horses dashed down
Main street through the business part OF
the city, up Snake River avenue and
into a covered buggy which was before
them
The driver of the buggy, who was in
restful ignorance of the approaching
danger, did not swerve from the even
course of his journey till the heavy team
and wagon struck his frail vehicle like a
holt from catapult. The horses sepa-
rated 10 pass one on each side of the
buggy till the reins drew them together
when they tried to jump over the buggy
and team. They laid upon the buggy
and mixed up with the man, wrecked rig
and frightened the other team.
The resistant buggy was broken badly,
and the runaway team was cnt and
bruised till they are unfit for service.

On to Rich CamaS Prairie.

The following dispatch to the Spokes-
man-Review from New York requires an
Interpretation to make it ineligible. In
the light of the recent developments it
can be unsolved. The extension men,
toned does not refer to thu Clearwater
river route but to the Spokane extension.
The news comes from New York and
from the headquarters of the company:
"Advices received from the Clearwater
are that the Northern Pacific is again
rapidly pushing construction in the
Cainas Prairie district, the last section
authorized of the 75-mile extension. 1t
will pass through the rich Camas prairie,
following the south fork of the Clearwa-
ter river. The line 20 far has followed
the Clearwater river easterly and south
easterly through Lapwai and Nez Perce
prairies. Extensions are projected south
erly from near the beginning of the ex-
tension down Lapwai creek and westerly
from the Camas prairie section along
Cottonwood creek toward the Craig
mountain plateau. This will amount to
almost absolute control Of that territory,
though the o. r. & n. secured charter
from the last congress to construct lines
in the Nez Perce reservation. So far the
o. X. & N. has confined its efforts to the
country west of Lewiston, pushing con-
struction there as rapidly as the North
ern Pacific has east, the weather being
favorable. Until these lines are COM
pleted there will be no collision, but the
evil day is destined to arrive unless, per-
chance an understanding is reached. 1t
seems there is little chance of this The
utter failure of the recent conferences as
far as the precise question of Clearwater
territory is concerned affords little hope
to those most anxious to have the matter
settled and to those most directly CON
cerned."

Steamboat on Fire.

After leaving Almota yesterday morn
ing the steamer Spokane was discovered
to be on fire. A black smoke burst out
OF a state room occupied by Edwin
Henry and notorious woman from
Lewiston. The flames were extinguish-
ell by the crew and passengers after the
furnishings and the clothing of the oc-
cupants had been destroyed.
Upon investigation il was believed the
fire was of incendiary origin. Henry was
accused by the woman of setting the
fire to her clothes with malicious intent.
When these statements were learned the
man was placed nnder arrest on the
boat and upon the arrival here he was
turned over to the state officers.
1t was afterward ascertained that the
woman who was damaged by the loss of
her clothes and who had made the state
ment which led the boat officers to be-
lieve the fire was deliberately started
retracted her statement and said it was
the result of accident, that the fire started
from cigarette which Henry was smok
ing while lying in bed. The prisoner was
thereupon given his liberty without a
hearing. The occupants of the room
were both drunk.
1t is now said that Henry will bring
suit against the o. X. & n. com pany for
damages on the ground of false i'm
prisonment. He is in this city still
and he has been consulting with attorneys
on the subject of an appeal to the courts
to right his wrongs.

Mr.. Lille also lost a valuable animal
which had been turned out to Craze after

The bridge over Lawyers Canyon, the
dividing line between Nez Perce and
Idaho counties, upon the repairs OF
which both counties are responsible, is
dangerous, and may result in suit for
damages and verdict for plaintiff The
|abuttinents on the Nez Perce side are
washed out, and the stringers, outside OF
one, are resting upon the solidity of a
vacant atmosphere. Cautious freighters
do not attempt to cross the bridge with
their full teams of six horses, and with
smaller teams they do SO in fear and
trembling. But somebody will attempt
to cross before looking, and there will be
heavy suit for damages, and the county
will necessarily have to pay them. This
matter demands immediate attention
from the proper authorities and should
admit of no delay.
