=, FOUR LOSE THEIR LIVES.
Fatal-Fire in a Mace (Ida.) Boarding

= Spokane, Wash, Feb. 26.-Four men
lost their lives and dozen others were
injured, three probably fatally, in a
fire of unknown origin, which Destroy
ed the boarding and bunk houses of
the Standard mine at Mace, Ida., short
ly after midnight.
The dead are: J. w. Edwards, D. r..
Mann, Eugene Bangs, and M. T. Moore.
Sixty men were asleep in the two
buildings when the fire was discover
ed in the second floor of the boarding
house. The alarm was quickly given,
but the flames spread with such rapid
ity that all escape was cut off except
through the windows. Most of the in
jured were hurt while making their
escape in this manner, though several
were badly burned. 1t is supposed
that the men who lost their lives be-
came confused by the fire and smoke
in the Railways and were unable to
find a window. .-c.-.a-

Proposed New Law.
st. Paul, Feb. 26.-The tax code was
beaten in the house by vote of 60
to 81. The final test was made under
circumstances most suspicious to the
friends of the bill, who, despite some
unexpected recruits, were six votes
short of the majority necessary to pass
their measure. They have not entire
ly given up hope, however, and will
make an effort to resuscitate the
slaughtered measure by reconsidera-
ton, and the elimination of the Wal
lace amendments. 81.
The legislature will now attempt to
agree on a bill submitting constitu-
tional amendments to be voted on next
fall. Other tax legislation will be at
tempted, and the session is not likely
to close till the last of next week. :.
Four members were absent on &C
count Of sickness, but even with these
the bill would have been lost.

were greatly Inconvenience. Tele-
graphic communication with the out
side world was cut off, The full force
OF the storm was felt on the BAY and
the bar was so rough that vessels were
unable to leave port. ~ -.~ -
North of the ferries craft of all sorts
was tossed about like eggshells. The
violent south wind stirred the bay into
q rolling, tempestuous sea, against
which anchors were almost futile.
Swell after swell, each apparently
heavier than the one preceding, pound
ed the vessels from the southerly d.
rectlon and sent them drifting in dan
gerous proximity to one another, drove
them close to the piers and to the isl
ands and kept the towboats busily en-
gagged in efforts to prevent disaster.

Dozens of tents were wrenched from

The majority of the tents simply col
lapsed under the pressure of the wind.

much damage was done to high fences
