OIL Strnck Near Tacoma.

The first oil found in the state of
Washington was struck Thursday at
depth of 200 feet, in well being driv-
en- near Tenino, by the Puget Sound
Petroleum company. At the depth
named drilling had to be discontinued
because of the rapid oil seepage, which
turned the bottom of the we'll into
mud. 1t will be begun again when a
larger boiler is secured from San Fran
cisco. The discovery indicates that the
coast oil belt extends from California
to Puget sound. Biologists believe the
strata containing the largest quantity
of petroleum will be found several hun
dred feet lower here than in Califor-
MIA. Seven other test wells are being
driven in western Washington.

DOWN WITH A CRAS H
Alarming SIeet Slide From
Roof of City Hail.
SOUNDED LIKE COLLAPSE
And Word Went Round That
Building Had Fallen

The occupants of the city building
thought their last hour had come at z
O'Clock last evening when a war and a
crash was heard The entire building
shook and the prisoners in the lower
regions became uvid with fear Night
Clerk James Oliver thought that cy-
clone had struck the building and he ran
out into the hallway as a man VIII who
Is panic stricken. His fears were not
allayed when he responded TO teIe-
phone can and was warned to escape as
the northwest corner of the building was
crumbl.ng to pieces. The telephone mes
sage was sent in from the Royal at the
request Of a man who drove excitedly
Up to the corner Of Main and Douglas
and shouted for some one to telephone
the station that the northwest corner Of
the city building had collapsed. This
Information sent about 30 people flying
towards the building and pretty soon the
word had gone about town that Wichita's
beautiful public building had fallen. 1T
was surprising the number of people who
always knew that it would fan with a
crash some day as if there is anything
whatever about the construction of the
building TO justify fears Of that charac-
ter.
Fire Chief A. G. Walden happened to
be leaving the city building when the
crash was heard and he being used or
rather trained to stampedes easily aIlay-
cd the fears of the occupants of the
building as well as those VINO rushed TO
the scene
Its only a snow slide" he said. land
nobody is hurt"
That's all 1T was. The recent neavy
sIeet stuck to the slated roof on the north
incline until O'Clock last night when It
thawed loose and was carried with
crash by it's own weight into the middle
Of Williams street. The slide became
shattered on the cornice and feE i'm
chunks ABOUT as big as rocks and it was
natural enough for the man who was
passing, and who afterwards gave the
alarm, to think that the chunks % ice
were blocks of stone from the building.
When the big blocks of ice struck the
brick paveing. after a. fan OF nearly 100
feet. they were crushed into small pieces
and looked like a big pile Of broken rock.
Had there been any people on the street
at the time loss Of life could hardly be
avoided.

WHAT SHALL WE EAT
no Keen Healthy and strongg

A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides TO follow in matters
Of diet and q mixed diet Of grains. fruits
and meats is undoubtedly the lest, in
spite of the claims made by vegetarians
and food cranks generally.
AS compared with grains and vege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form and
IS digested and assimilated more quickly
than vegetables or grains.
Dr. julius Remusson on this subject
says: Nervous pers ms. people run down
in health and Of low vitality should eat
plenty of meai. If the digestion IS too
feeble at first it may be easily strength

CRAzED BY GRIP
Oliver Imagined He Had Been
Pushed Off Train.
WALKED OFF THE TRAIN
Says the Conductor Thinking
He Had Gone Beyond Station

It now develops that Joseph ". Oliver,
who claimed that ne was pushed of the
southbound Rock Island train three miles
south Of Wichita, Wednesday night, is
insane as the result Of the grip and that
there is practically no foundation for his
story. Mrs. Oliver. the injured mans
wife. called to see him Friday, and yes
terdsy requested that she be permitted
to remove him 20 her relatives at Med
ford, o. T. After careful examination
Of the mans injuries by DR.. Jordan it
was decided that no great risk would be
incurred to grant the permission, and &C
cordingIy the consent for the removal
was obtained. Husband and wife left on
the evening sOuthbound train yesterday.
A careful investigation Of his case, to-
gether with what his wife remarked, con-
WINGED those who attended Oliver at the
hospital that he is crazed as the result
Of a severe attack of Ia grippe His
wife stated that her husband had been
afflicted with the disease in their Indiana
home and that since then he has been
acting queerly. With close attention and
proper treatment it is thought that OIL

whom he had told story about being

Of the party later followed him to the
rear platform Of the coach and then, af-
ter having drugged him, pushed him
from the fast train. The man by his fall
had been injured internally and had also
sustained severe bruises about the face.
He seemed to be greatly worried about
his wife whom he represented as an in
valid. The case was fully investigated
by the police, but they could find no evil
dence to prove that anyone had pushed
him OF the train. The conductor in
charge Of the train says that oliver was
greatly worried about being carried past
his station, and that very likely he at
tempted to leave the train while 1t was
in motion After lying IN an uneon-
scious condition for nearly an hour, he
finally made his way to a house in the
vicinity and from there was taken TO the
police station, and later was conveyed to
the hospital His wife had meanwhile
gone to her destination at Medford. and
did not notice the absence Of her hus-
band until she was about to leave the

INJURIES OF TWO
MAY Be FATAL
Victims of Yesterdays Terrible
Fire Examined at St. An

PNEUMONIA THREATENS SEVERAL
Subscription Started to Aid Fam
ily-.Funeral of Those Who
Were Lost.

When the victims who survived the
terrible fire on Big island yesterday
morning reached st. Anthony's hos
pital yesterday afternoon careful
examination of their injuries, which
had been impossible before, was made
by the attending physicians.
Henry Seebrandt, the grandfather,
who is II years of age. was found to
have sustained burns about the head,
hands and feet that will probably in
themselves prove fatal.
John Holling, the father, aged Il.
was seriously burned about the head
and feet.
Ada, his wife. Al years of age. was
burned about the face. hands and feet
and back. Her injuries are serious
and she was delirious last night.
Bertha, the lily ear-old daughter
was less seriously injured, her burns
being mainly about the face and
hands.
John Fatally Hurt.
The injuries OF John, aged z, are
probably fatal, his head having been
badly scorched.
Marguerite, the 9-months-old babe.
which was thrown from the window.
sustained bruises and slight burns,
which will not prove serious.
Otto. II years old, was only slightly
burned and is not at the hospital.
The oldest daughter Mary, Is YEAR,
of age, works in this city, and was
not at home when the fire occurred.
DR.. c L. Foster, who is atteudiny
the patients at the hospital, states that
several days will have to elapse be-
fore the fate of some of the members
of the family can be determined. If
their lungs have been iured through
breathing the hot gases, pneumonia
is apt to develop after certain
length of time, and if it does there is
very little chance of recovery.
Reports from the hospital late this
afternoon indicated that the general
condition of the patients was some
what improved.
The remains of Fred and Willie, the
boys who were burned to death. were
buried from Kuox's undertaking
