The dead mans name was Harry
Barber. He was lying in his bunk at
Woods camp, drunk and asleep when
the murderer, whose name is Harris,
walked quietly in to the sleeping quar-
tiers and fired four revolver bullets in
to his breast. Any one of the bullet
wounds would have been fatal.
Having accomplished his work to his
satisfaction the slayer slipped out OF
camp and escaped to the hills. The
alarm was given and within fifteen
minutes Deputy Sheriff Knadler vas

ty Gray followed a little later. The on
ly news of the pursuit thus far receiv-
ed is hat the fugitive was seen at Sui
livan's camp on Dale creek early this
morning. 1t is said that he came back
to Woods camp and was see there

mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or bilious

seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous
prostration or heart failure. etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-

that is all they took when feeling dull

Caught in a Fire Trap.

The fire originated out 1880 o clock
this morning in the rear of the hotel
and in a few minutes the Md n:noth
building. which was entirely o. wood.
was a mass of flames. There were in
the ne]iehborhood Of forty-five guests
III the building and the porter, the on
" person awake in the hotel. was un-
able to give an alarm, the smoke and
flames driving him back.
The fire department was on hand
early. but they were unable to render
any assistance to the inmates. The
guests on the second and third floors
were caught like rats in a trap. the fire
preventing their escape by the stairs
and they leaped from the second and
third story windows. One of these,
Heck Clark. jumped and broke his
back; Eta Iiargrave leaped from a
third story window and suffered inju'
ries which will cause her death. 9th.
ers were also internally injured. One
Of the guests. Benjamin Shelby, forced
his. wife to leap from a second story
window and thereby saved her life. but
lest everything they possessed. Mr.,
Shelby tried to escape by the stairway.
but the smoke and flames drove him
back. He asserts that he saw ten or
fifteen persons in the hallway owe
come by smoke.
If this is the case, a dozen or more
bodies may be found in the ruins. Many
of the guests had hairbreadth escapes
and ran from the doomed building clad
only in their night clothes. losing ev'
erything they possessed in the world.
Their hair and eyebrows were sing.
ed by the flames. Numerous feats OF
heroism are recorded and if some of
the male guests had not aided the
weaker sex the death list would be
larger. As yet. it is impossible to tell
Just how many lives were lost.
Quite a number of the guests were
not registered and their names are I'M
known. Every room in the house, for
ty-fve in number. was occupied. Men
are now at work on the ruins, but ii
will probably be several days before
the complete list of deaths will be OBJ
