SWEPT BY FLAMES.
Best Part OF the City OF Aberdeen.
Wash, Destroyed by Fire Which
Causes E 100000 Loss.

Aberdeen, Wash, Oct. I.-Fire that
burned from nine Friday morning until
two o'clock in the afternoon caused Jour
deaths and destroyed property valued at
approximately s., 100000. 1t practically
wiped out the main business street of
this town, which is built mostly Of wood.
One hundred and fifty buildings were
burned. Tie dead are: Charles Ralfo,
Daniel Webster, Calvin Mckenzie and
al unknown man.
Not more than one-half of the lost is
covered by insurance, for the reason that
the insurance companies have refused to
carry any greater risk on account of the
infammable material of which all the
buildings in Aberdeen are constructed.
Every business man in the cityis aloser.
In order to stop the further progress
of the flames, dynamite was used on
several of the buildings, upon which
the flames were advancing. Telephone
messages brought the fire departments
of Hohuiam and Montesona to the scene,
and they did effective work. The fire:
started at nine o'clock in the morning,
and it was two p. m. before the flames
were brought under control.
Aberdeen has a population of about
1000, and tho chief industry is lumber
ing. SeversszATge sawmills are located

injunctions V e issued by an Ohio
court. 1t was directed against the Ham

company the right to employ whomso-
ever they saw fit. The boycott was to
force the plaintiff to unionize and aban-
don its ''open shop policy.

The identity of the mob leaders is un-
known. Thirty-five minutes after the
lynching, Jackson's body was cut down
by the sheriff and coroner and removed
to the morgue.
The murder Of little Fonnie Buck was
a peculiarly atrocious crime. When the
boys body was found it was horribly
mutilated. Suspicion pointed to Jack
son and when he was arrested a lynch
ing was narrowly ayerted. His trial
quickly followed and a verdict was re-
turned within two hours. He was SEN
fenced to be hanged, but his attorneys
appealed to the supreme court.
