CHIEF HALE'S VIEW.
Hardest Fire He Ever FouEht-FOrtu-
nate 1t Did Not Occur During
the EHeninc.

1.-THE fire last night was the hardest one
TO handle that L have ever seem" said
Chief Hale yesterday. "I never saw n fire
where there was such intense heat. The
entire building was ablaze before the alarm
was turned in, and, as every floor of the
store was filled with infiammable goods.
any attempt TO save anything was useless.
/ knew that the building was a tretrap. as
II was frail structure, and | have ire
quently spoken of the danger of fire there
The building was old. the walls were thin
and many of them had been honeycombed
with doors that weakened the entire struc-
ture.'
When asked regarding his theory of the
origin of the fire Chief Hale said:
II think that the fire originated In the
boiler room. 1t Is customary in stores Of
that kind for the janitors to sweep all the
rubbish down stairs. where it is piled up
in front Of the boiler so that the fireman
can use 1t to kindle the fires in the morn
ing. l believe that the rubbish and trash
in front of the boilers caught fire and the
entire basement was abiaze before any
traces of flames were discovered
1T is indeed fortunate that the fire oc-
Cured as late as il did, said the chief.
"If it had been two hours earlier nun
dreds of lives would have been lost, as II
was Saturday night and the store was
crowded with shoppers at 9 oclock.
Chief Hale issued the following card OF
thanks TO the men who assisted III hght-
ing the flames:
meut / wish to express thanks TO all those who
offered their assistance in fighting the fire at sixth
and Main streets Saturday night. The department
are truly grateful 10 the Kansas CITY, has. hTe

Sullivan mill was blown up with
dynamite by amob of 1000 miners
and two men shot and killed began
Monday in the state district court,
Judge Stewart presiding.
The trouble which eliminated
in the destruction of the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan property has been
of lorg standing. The miners
union of the Occur d'Alens district
have been very powerful and for
many years only union men have
been employed in the mines, ex-
cepting the Bunker Hill & Sui
livan and the Last Chance mines
OF Wardner which employed non
union men.
Great pressure had been brought
to bear particularly on the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan, and even threats
had been made TO compel the
owners to recognize the miners
union and to employ only union
men. The Bunker Hill people
steadfastly. refused.
0D April 29sh about 1000 men
;sSok possession Of q train 1T Wal
lace and rode to Wardner, where
they blew Io the mill with dyna-
mite, destroying property valued
at 100000. In order to preserve
order and protect property, Gov
ernor Steunenberg of Idaho, called
upon the federal government for
troops and within five days ffap
the destruction of the mill, 1000
troops were in the Occur d,Alene
mining district under command of
Brigadier General Merritt. Gov
ernor Steunenberg declared mar
tial law which was enforced by the
fedarel troops. In all about 800
miners were arrested charged with
completely in the riot, but more
than half of these have been re-
leased. Among those arrested
were Sheriff James D. Young of
Shoshone county and County Com
missioners Bolye and Stirnson.
The cases of the officials charged
with aiding and abetting the riot
were callad in court Monday in
the form of impeachment proceed
ings. The state was represented
by Attorney General Hays and
Attorneys Borah and Forney and
the defense by Colonel Patrick
Reddy and Messers Jones and
Morphy.
Jones presented and argued a
motion to quash and strike from
the records the accusation made
against the defendants, claiming
the citation to appear had been
issued in all illegal and irregular
manner. The prosecution asked
for time to prepare a counter argu-
ment
