Mrs. Geraldine Banks, widow, OF
Chicago and her daughter Dorothy
we're at Rye Beach. Mrs. Banks had
enough money-somethlng like three
milllons-to make her last name emin'
entity fitting. Her father, who had
made a fortune in Transforming rank
Chicago fat into delicate French soap,
had given her the millions outright
ct her marriage with John Banks, now
deceased.
Father and daughter didn't see each
other often in the latter days. They
moved In different social circles. Mrs
Banks had a great gray stone palace
within sound OF the flashing lake
waters, while the father preferred to
live in something little bigger than a
cottage under the very shadow OF the
chlmneys and within smelling range
so to speak, of the factory that had
brought him his fortune.
Dorothy Bnaks was delightfully."-
pretty, aristocratic looking withal, and
as sweetly disposed toward humanity
in general as a girl possibly could be
whose mother was constantly remind
ing her OF her station In life and that
the hoi.pollol we're interesting chiefly
at distance. Mrs. Banks wished her
daughter to marry. as she put 1t, a
gentleman and a man Of lineage.
There came to Rye Beach that sum
mer young Peabody Standlsh Of Boston.
He was { Harvard man and one whose
ancestors names had been borne on
the rolls OF that school ever since
John Harvards day. Now. Peabody
standish was a fine young fellow. athle-
tic. handsome and with a manner
which New England fogs and frosts
had failed to chill.
Peabody Standlsh and Dorothy Banks
met. The Boston man liked the beauty
and the breeziness OF the western
girl. and Dorothy, with never q
thought OF what her mother had said
about arlstocracy. liked the eastern
man for himself.
II Is perhaps needless to say thai
Mrs. Banks looked on approvlngly.

HEAVY LOSS BY
FIRE At BOISE.
Is Estimated at One Hundred
and Twenty Two
Thousand,

Boise suffered one of the worst
fires IN its history early Sunday
morning. Several of the leading
wholesale houses were entirely de-
stroyed with their contents. The
buildings and stocks of the Northrop
Hardware company, Amour q Com
pany, and John l.. Day & Co. were
destroyed besides damaging the
building and stock of the Capital
Commercial company, and running a
large number of stoves and ranges
/ belonging to the Fletcher Steen com
pany that were in a portion of the
Armour building.
The loss is estimated at about 1922
600, divided as follows:
Fletcher-Steen company, 100000;
insurance Sc, 500.
Armour & Co, $15, 600; amount of
Insurance not known as it is handled
by the eastern agency.
John l.. Day & Co. $35, 600; in
surance $14, 900 to SIG, 900.
Northrop Hardware company 500
900. No statement as TO insurance.
Capital Commercial company,

Owing to defective hydrant, the

DESPERATE BATTLE
WITH CONNECTS.
Capture Warden's Wife and
Take Her as a
Shield.

A Canyon City telegram of the %
says
Kirsck Kuykendall, a convict a.
the state penitentiary, was shot anC
killed early today while attempting tc
escape with five other desperate
prisoners. AS DR.. T D Palmer and
the hospital steward were making
the morning rounds, Kuykendall
complained of being i'll and the
doctor prepared to make an examin-
alton. The prisoner drew bottle,
supposed to contain nitro glycerine,
and ordered the two men to throw up
their hands. They did so and five
other coDvicts then overpowered Cell
house Keeper Clarence Cleghorn and
Steward John E. Keete The four
prison officials thus made prisoners
were stripped of their clothing which
The convicts donned. Taking the
doctor and steward with them, they
proceeded toward the gates. On
the way the mutineers captured War
den John G. Cleghorns wife and
forced her to go along, using her as
shield to prevent the guards from
firing at them. The inner and outer
gates were blown off their binoes
with dynamite, which the convicts
had somehow secured, but an attempt
to force the armory failed.
Meantime Warden Cleghorn had ar
rived from town and, collectinp
guards, ordered them to shoot the
tugltives whenever an opportunity
presented itself to do so without in.
juring Mrs Cleghorn. Holding
knives over the woman, the mutineers
shouted that they would kill her If
the guards fired Mrs. Cleghorn
tainted and the convicts then took
to their heels, pursued by the guards.
huy Kendall was killed by Yardmas
ter John Clark, after shouting: ON
never be taken alive I'll not 90
back to that Id hole. "
James Armstrong was overtal,en
by Will Cleghorn, son Of the warden
and was severely beaten over the head
with a revolver, but was not wound
ed. The other fugitives, who were
taken alive, were: Thomas Fisher
Thomas Fallon, Cuaz Cordova and
Robert Kane.
Kuykendall was member of q
gang of Cripple Greek ore thieves
and was serving 14-year term for
shooting an officer in the Sratton
independence mine. Armstrong is
serving lO-year term for burglary
and is wanted in Utah on the CHARGE
of murder.
