Stencil Building Had Mar
row Escape.
FIRE EARLY THIS MORNING
Man Cleaning Out Furnace Dropped
Blaze Put Out by Chemical.

For the third time in its history
the Stencil building at Main and
Third has narrowly escaped destruc-
ton by fire. Dense clouds Of smoke
sitting up through the floors of the
tall building reused dodgers at an
early hour this morning and nearly
caused a panic for a time.
The chemical responded to a
"hurry-up" alarm and found fierce
blaze attacking the walls in the base
ment and dense clouds of smoke pour
ing from every Granny in the build
ing The blaze started in some old
sacks near the furnace. These were
burning fiercely and were cOmmuni-
eating to the adjoining walls when
the firemen arrived. A dOuse of
it was a half hour before the smoke
which had sifted up through the
building escaped. Lodgers who had
been nurriedly aroused by the alarm
went back TO bed to resume an in
terrupted morning nap.
In cleaning out the furnace the man
in charge failed to detect sparks fall
ing onto the sacks and few minutes
after completing the work left the
building. A lodger. who was asleep
on the second floor, was awakened By
sitting smoke filling his room and
gave the alarm.
Three years ago the building was
badly damaged by fire which started
in similar manner and some months
later, an alarm was turned in fire
being discovered in the basement
which had started from the furnace
A month ago a rubbish box back Of
the building was discovered on fire
but this was thought to have been
set by indiscreet boys playing with
matches.

j. II. Brady Wins Suit for snake
River Front Rights.

Special Correspondence.
Pocatelo. Idaho Aug, I'm decl-
sion rendered today by Judge Bulge,
every point in the famous controversy
for the possession Of river front rights
on the snake river at American FANS.

outcome of the bitter fight that mas
been waged here for the past year ana
half between rival electric light COM
panies. r ~

was the plaintiff. ana claimed the right
TO the lots on the river front at Amerl-
can Falls under an old contract au-
yersely TO the American FAILS POWER
Light & Water company (the Brady
company. In his decision the court
says
I'm relation TO the water rights
claimed by the plaintlff, It does not sat
isfactorily appear TO the court that the
plaintiff had duly succeeded TO the
rights Of the parties Of whom il alleges
IL Is the successor IN interest ana the
conduct Of all Of said parties relative TO
said water rights impresses the court
with the idea that SAID parties nave al
tempted to appropriate and hold valua-
Bile water rights for speculative pur-
poses. and The entire conduct OF said
parties from the beginning down TO the
present time has not been such TO emit
tie them to any water right under the
laws Of this state.
The court further finds that the total
cost of all Improvements made by the
plaintiff and all It's predecessors, in
Guiding those that II does not claim to
be the successors In interest Of, amount
TO but $1,000, and that a considerable
amount of the work included IN said
estimate was apparently done, not Tor
the purpose OF improving the town OF
American Falls or developing the water
power Of the. Snake river but Tor the
purpose OF preventing the defendant
power company from utilizing any OF
the water Of Snake river for power
