Fire a Mystery.

There We're in the house Il persons,
fast asleep. How the fire originated is
still mystery, though it seems toler
ably certain that an explosion of some
kind occurred. but whatever was the
cause the flames gained hold with such
rapidity that only two escaped from
the building. One of these is so badly
injured that she has no chance of sur
wing The fire communicated to
SiXty-ninth street. and in the house of
Albert J. Adams a servant was burned
to death, thus bringing the total of vic
Tins to IS So thoroughly did the
flames do their work that when the
Quilted Andrews house was searched
the corpses were so charred as to be
almost beyond positive Identification.
The names of the dead were ascer-
tanned more from certain knowledge
of those who were in the house over
night than for the traces of the living
image that they retained.

Il WAS A SNOW BURST
Drifts Were Piled Five Feet
Deep
DURING THE BLIZZARD
It Took a Man Three-Quarters of
an Hour to Go Less Than a
Understanding Through
the Snow.

Great Falls Nov. 3.-kyle Price cam
down from the Conrad ranch near Du-
puyer yesterday and adds his tale of
woe to the many others regarding last
months blizzard, which was particular
~ severe where Mr.. Price was located.
Instead of a waterspout there seems to
have been a snowspout or snowburst
below Dupuyer in Teton county. for
about 10 miles wide and about 40 long.
where the snow piled up five feet deep
on the level and where it yet remains
about Is inches deep. For four days
during the storm the band of 5000 sheep
kept on the Conrad home ranch were
not out of the Sheds, and when at last
they were taken out 1t was through the
roof. Kyle also tells of sending one of
the men three-quarters Of mile to
close a gate, or some such matter and
the man was five hours making the trip,
having to swim through the snow the
entire distance back; people who know
what it is to swim quarters Of a
mile in water will appreciate the diff
Guilty of accomplishing the same feat in
Teton county snow. Leander's swimming
of the HeIlespont sinks into insigniti-
canoe in comparison. Kyle is coming
back to Great Falls and will manage
the ranch by telephone during the rest
of the winter.

Paving at a standstill.

Great Falls. Nov 3.-To-day was an
other of peaceful inactivity in paving
work on Second avenue south and no
change in the situation appears. pas
senger on No. % last evening states that
Mr.. Canary was on the train and got
off at this point, but inquiries at his home
and various places in the city failed to
disclose him. His bondsmen have vainly
endeavored to find him to-day, in order
that they might know the status of the
case and what his intentions are and
what steps he has taken outside of tear
ing up the streets.
THE citizens within the paving district
are not feeling pleased at the prospect of
having to wait another year for the pro-
posed paving, and that with the streets
in their present condition. / don't know
what will be done nor in what shape the
matter stands said one of Canary Is
bondsmen to-day. I'VE have not been
able to see Canary and the work having
been suspended entirely for three or four
days does not look very cheering Ca
nary's trouble, l take it, comes largely
from the fact that he had not sufficient
money to purchase supplies or pavement
and he found considerable difficulty from
that cause. 1t is particularly unfortunate
in view of the present beautiful weather
that the paving is at standstill as it
could have been finished this fall in ex-
cellent shape"

A Coal Famine Promised.

Great Falls, Nov. 3.-If the coal min

many people in Great Falls to change
brands of fuel, but the Canadian Pacific
railroad will be Inconvenience the

part of its coal from Lethbridge, hav-
ing a contract calling for about 800 tons
daily. The amount mined over that
amount is shipped to Great Falls Only

coke which is shipped to this and other
Montana points in large quantities is
mined and cooked at Furnev. about 1870
miles north of 'Lethbridge and from
there brought into Montana by way of
three narrow guage roads. The coal
traffic on the Great Falls & Canada is

SUSPECTED of Theft.

Great Falls, Nov. "A man giving
his name as Frank McCarty was arrest
ed to-day while attempting to dispose
of box of cigars to the proprietor of
the Klondike saloon. He came in the
Klondike last evening and stated he
had a large amount of cigars to sell
cheap. The proprietor, who is an Ital-
ian. suspecting the goods were stolen,
asked him to bring a sample this morn
ing, and when the man appeared with
one box of cigars to-day Chief Guerin
was telephoned and took him into GUS
tody. The cigars are "Daly's Tam
many" brand and are evidently part of
a stolen lot. McCarty says he got them
from another man and saws he only
came from Chicago two weeks ago. He
has been working for the Great Falls
Produce company few days and it is
thought the goods came from some of
the different warehouses into which he
has had admission.

Made Another Bid.

Washington, Nov 3.-Moran Brothers
of Seattle, shipbuilders, have submitted
to the navy department another bid to
take the place of that submitted last
Wednesday for the construction of a $500
ton cruiser. The firm does this on the
theory that congress intended at least
two of the six vessels should be con-
structed on the Pacific coast. and as the
Union Iron Works of San Francisco, the
only other bidder on the slope, bid for
only one of the ships. the Seattle firm
feels that if it reduces its original bid to
the same figures as that of the San Fran
cisco corporation it should have it con-
sidered on even terms. The proposition
being irregular it has been referred to the
board of construction. and the general
opinion is that it cannot be entertained.

Headq uarters Changed,

San Francisco, Nov. 3-The Call says
that on Jan. San Francisco will cease
to be the shipping and general business
center of the Pacific Coast Steamship
company, and all of the local interests of
that concern will be moved to Seattle.
Although no announcement of the fact
has yet been made known it is generally
admitted that the firm of Collins, Perkins
& Go. have been deprived of the agency
and Is closing up Its books as rapidly as
possible in order that the formal trans
fer of the business may take place on or
oe1ofe the appointed date. The change
is due to the fact that the Great North
ern Railway company. with Headquarters
in Seattle, has secured controlling in
