DTLLEY

Leave Town On Mysterious
MisSiOn--Af Tracy7

a. G. Dilley, second warden at the
state .penitentiary. and Walter Lyon,
private secretary to Governor Geer
left Salem very mysteriously on the
afternoon train Monday. and the most
diligent inquiry failed to elicit their
destination. OF course Ad. Dilley said
he was simply of for a short vacation,
but nobody believed the statement,
and neither did he. But anyway they
went, and the purpose OF their leaving
can only be conjectured. II is known
that Lyon has always taken a more
or less prominent part in the pursuit
Of Tracy, and his leaving at this time,
and the further fact that ne left In
company with Second Warden Dilley.
and the fact that they were both
armed. even II they did smuggle their
3O.3O's into the baggage car, strength
ems the belief that they have really
gone to resume the search for the fugi-
tive convict. Both are daring, and
their successful capture OF the daring
criminal would furnish their friends
sincere grounds for offering congratu-
lations. to which they certainly would
be entitled.

who were operating the ferry saw in

BAD
FIRE
RAGING
Serious North Salem Fire
This Afternoon
Residence and Other Buildings
Are Burned

Fire at 2.3O o'clock this afternoon
burned to the ground the residence oil
John Hoff. a recent arrival from Ne
braska. and also destroyed the barn
Of f. c. Mnton, and laid in ashes
about 30 cords Of fine cord wood. So
far as could be learned there was no
insurance on any OF the property that
was destroyed. The fire is still raging
as this report closes, but Is practically
under control, since 1t will necessarily
have to confne itself to the burning
buildings, as there are none others in
the line OF the severe wind that was
blowing during the fire.
The origin of the blaze, that would
have been even more destructive, had
the wind been blowing from almost
any other direction was from a wood
saw engine. The engines smokestack
did not have the protection Of screen
over the opening, and a spark escaped
and was carried directly to the barn,
which was filled with hay. and in
an instant the structure was a mass
Of flames. The neighbors responded
promptly, and, by great effort saved
the home OF Mr.. Minton from the
flames. although the barn and several
tons of hay were destroyed. The
flames rapidly spread to the home Of
Mr.. Hoff, on the east, and, despite the
labors Of a volunteer fire brigade Of
more than score of men. the home
that was recently purchased by Mr.
Hon at a cost OF $1,000, was a heap Of
ruins. In compliance with the rule re.
Gently established by the city council,
the city fire department did not re-
spond for the reason that the scene Of
the fire was without the city limits A
few more such fires as North Salem
has experienced during the past few
months will strikingly illustrate the
advantage 10 be gained by municipal
incorporation and the enjoyment Of
the protection and benefits to be de-
rived therefrom.
