he fed. The latter replied by firing on
the policeman. Owing to the speed at
which the two were running, the bul.
let's all went wild and Nottingham es-
capped in the darkness.
Soon the police received information
which led them to suspect Nottingham.
With a force of deputies his residence
was surrounded and surrender de-
manded. There was no response. The
place was entered and the man found

FIRE At ABERDEEN, WASH.
Four Lives Lost and Several People
Injured.

Four Lives Lost and Several People
Injured.
Aberdeen, Wash.-Fire which burn
ed from o'clock in the morning un-
til in the afternoon, caused at least
four deaths and destroyed property
valued at approximately 100000.
1t practically wiped out the main busi-
ness street of the town, which is built
mostly of wood. In the burned district
are included ten blocks Of business
houses and residences. Not more than
one-half of the loss Is covered by In
surance, for the reason that the In
surance companies have refused to
carry any greater risk on account Of
the inflammable material Of which all
the buildings in Aberdeen are con-
structed. Every business in Aberdeen
is a loss, whether by fire, water, re-
moval breakage, or loss by theft. Not
anticipating that the flames could get
beyond the fire departments control
many waited until the fire was close
upon them before starting to move
out. The streets were soon strewn
and Uttered with all kinds Of ma
terial and the rush and haste Of teams
and people in every direction caused
great confusion.
The fire started in the old Mack
building on Hume street, owned by
Oscar L. Grain, which has been re-
garded as a fire trap and dangerously
constructed building. It was three
stories high and was occupied by nu-
merous single men who cooked their
own meals, chiefly on oil stoves. 1t
was in room of the third story where
the flames started, and the interior
Of the building was mass Of flames

ing was leased by Louisa Selberg. who
had just fitted it up with new furni.
ture. She escaped with her children.
