BAD.LOOKING BLAZE.


At so o'clock last night the night
Waterman of the Hitz Baking Company
saw dense clouds of smoke pouring from
the windows of the building occupied by the
Metropolitan Storage and Commission
Company, at 10S South Alabama street.
The alarm was quickly sounded from Box
So and on the arrival of the department
a second alarm was turned in as it looked
as though the building was doomed. The
fire had in some unaccountable manner
started on the second floor near the ele-
vator shaft and soon the whole building
was full of smoke. The fireman, on tearing
found that the fire was confined to that
place, and was burning fiercely. They
soon had streams of water playing on that
particular spot and the fire was soon I'M
der control. The building was being used
by Victor z. Jose as a storage house for
fruit and canned goods. On the main floor
was stored seven carloads of potatoes. All
of the stuff which was in the building was
placed on the north side and was free from
the fire as the elevator shaft was on the
south side of the building. A. j. Mcintosh
owns the building, which was formerly used
by the Mullen Blackledge Company as a
catsup and preserving factory.

PENDLETON, Ind. Feb. 7.-City Mar
shall Mortimer Cook shot and killed Jim
Richardson, a notorious character of this
vicinity, at $50 o'clock tonight. Cook was
trying to arrest him to return him to Illi-
nois. from which State he is fugitive
from justice.
Richardson is a native of Fortville.
Three years ago he was indicted In Han
cock county in connection with the killing
OF Saloon Keeper Shafer, Of Fortville, but
he always managed to elude the authori-
ties. About year later Richardson went
to Illinois, and soon induced the daughter
of his employer to run away with him.
They came to Indiana and for a time lived
with some of his relatives near Fortville.
The Illinois authorities traced him and af-
ter an exciting chase he was arrested here
and taken 10 Illinois for trial. The girl
was returned to her parents. Richardson
was sentenced to term in the peniten-
tiary, but later escaped and returned to
his old haunts
Word was received some time ago to
be on the watch for him, and tonight he
came to town with "Bill'' Brown, also Of
Fortville. Marshal Cook went after his
man and found him in front of Clevenger's
saloon. Cook placed his hand on Richard
sons arm and told him to ''come along"
Richardson drew his revolver and fired
twice at Cook, but the marshal knocked
up the desperado's arm and both shots
went wild At the same time he drew his
own weapon and fired four times, three
shots taking effect in the lungs and one
in the thigh.
Though so badly wounded, Richardson
ran south in Pendleton avenue. nearly
two hundred yards. Then he backed up
to a blacksmith shop, evidently with the
intention of making further resistance, but
when the marshal closed In on him he
was standing there dead, his head droop-
ing forward and his revolver lying at his
feet
There was a large crowd on the streets
at the TINE, and for time excitement
was high, especially as a report gained
currency that Marshal Cook had been shot.
This was easily disproved, however, and
the excitement was allayed. Richardson
hao been boasting all afternoon that there
were not enough men in Pendleton to
take him alive. Marshal Cook was on his
way to supper when he was informed of
Richardson's presence He refused offers
of help, and went after his man alone, and
got him.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Feb. 7-Shortly
before noon, to-day, fire was discovered In
the chemical laboratory in Wylie Hall OF
Indiana University, and in less than half
an hour the second and third stories OF the
large building were in flames. The fire was
fought at every step, but was only ex-
tinguished after about $4,000 damage. fully
covered by insurance.
The room where the fire occurred was UNI
occupied at the time. The probabilities are
that the fire originated from vessel con-
tanning oil under which there was jet of
gas. 1t probably was left unnoticed. and
ignited, no one being in the room to dis
cover the danger. A large amount Of equip
ment was destroyed, as the building. which
contained fourteen large rooms. was occu-
