after devouring all the woodwork on
the top of the tower, seized on the
false timber work of the two foot
bridges suspended from the main
cables, burning away the supports
Nearly million feet of burning tim.
Der fell with crash and a hiss into
the stream. The falling foot bridges
carried away a score OF lighter cables
and guys, which trailed in the water
rendering it necessary. for the purpose
Of safety, to stop all traffic up and
down the river.
The steamer Puritan and other
craft had narrow escapes while run,
ming the gauntlet of the fiery brands
that fell in showers from the burning
bridge. The fire was the most spec
tacular conflagration that has ever
been seen in New York.

CHANGE for Shamrock Ill.

The Associated Press understands
that in the Shamrock Ill will be EN-.
bodied some radical departures in the
matter of yacht construction which
have not appeared In any previous
challengers. These changes are said
to be due to an accidental discovery
made during the trials OF the Sham.
rock I. and the Shamrock II. which
convinced Designer Watson that there
had been a fundamental error in the
construction of all the recent challen-
gers. The discovery was made too
late to admit of the remodeling OF the
Shamrock H., but when It's nature was
explained to Sir Thomas Lipton it had
great weight in deciding him to try
for the Americas cup a third time.
Both Designers Fife and Watson are
convinced that they possess solid data
upon which they will be able to build
yacht superior to any previous cup
racer. They are certain that they
have evolved an idea which affects the
whole theory of the propulsion of sail
ing yachts.

Reward of $1,000 Brings More Men to

Travel on Snow Shoes.

Kalispell, Mont. Nov. 10.--The re-

into the district where Superintendent
Esan of the Great Northern has been
lost for five days in a blizzard, but
ESan has not been found. Another
party has left Columbia Falls for Hun.
cry Horse creek and will be out sew
| eral days. 1t is now almost impos-
siJle to get through the country ex-
cept on snow shoes and parties who
have gone into the South Fork country
have been compelled to use them.
There are now two parties whose
return is anxiously awaited. One went
up to the cabin on Pyramid peak and
another into the South Fork country.
1t will be at least three days before
they can make their report.
Houston said that the last words of
Egan were. Il am going off here and
look around" AS he made the above
remark, Egan poii.ted east and almost
directly away from the railroad. Hous-
ton said regarding the time after leav.
ing the car: I'VE stood on the track
and examined the compass. Mr.. Egan
remarked that Bolton was almost due
north, and thinking he knew the local
ity. we did not question his judgment.
MIR. Egan wore extremely heavy pants
and vest, my oiled canvass hunting
coat, roll felt hat and had rife. He
had at least 20 cartridges"
DR.. Houston spent part of the day
here, returning to Belton tonight. He
has given up all hope of Egan being
alive.
AS precaution against getting lost
Superintendent Egan, just before the
party started on its hunt. suggested
that a number of shots should be fired
when they were ready to return. and
IL this way it would be known that all
were in safe distance. Each member
of the party was also to make pile of
stones upon the bridge near Bolton
that others would know that they were
on their way to Bolton. All complied
with the signals except Egan.
A unique feature of the search is the
embarkiHg of one party upon the ad.
vice of medium in Columbia Falls.
The medium, woman. declared in a
trance last night she saw the dead
body OF Egan near Hungry Horse
creek. She described Egan and the
surroundings OF Hungry Horse creek
so truly that number of men have
taken stock in her story and are fol-
lowing it up.
Word was received Tuesday from
an old cabin about IA miles from Lake
Five something like smoke could be
seen issuing. This cabin was known
to have provisions stored In It, and II
Is hoped the rescuing party will sue
coed in reaching 1t. Should Egan have
reached this cabin he undoubtedly can
live several weeks II he Is well. Much
anxiety Is felt awaiting the return OF
Buckley. Upon his return will hinge
the effort OF further search.

those increasing or remaining un-
changed far outnumbering those declin

port cars and locomotives both scarce.
