Esau Lambs Bee Story.

On the morning of the 17th of this month MT. Esau Lamb and son, Ed, accompanied by their families, started out on hunting trip in the mountains south of town. Being from Missouri they said they took along a plentiful supply of pork, to eat in case they killed no deer, and it proved wise move. After spending a couple of days in vain search for the feet footed animals the elder Mir. Lamb saw some winged objects flying to- ward hole in a tree and as they proved to be bees he immediately began devising ways and means to slaughter the owners of the rich treasure known to be there. Going to camp he got his son and taking a torch returned to the scene. Their experience is better told in MT. Lambs own language. He says:
 "I told Ed. to hold the torch close to the hole where the bees went in while I could cut another hole in the tree, but he has been acting strange lately and all at once he let the torch fall and began to buck and throw first one hand around his head and then another; then he grabbed his hat and such pounding 1 never saw as he disap- peared down the hill. The per- formance attracted my attention and while thus engaged I felt a prick, as of needle, and then an other. It seemed as if Eds acting had electrified me and as he stood watching from a distance he said not only my head but my feet were in plain sight as I came through and over the brush. Ed. called a halt at camp and I succeeded in bringing up against a tree in the midst of the whole flock of Lambs. We were getting desperate, and, after eating supper I told Ed. we would have some honey for break fast or die in the attempt, so we re- newed our torch and struck out for the tree again. After a hard fight we succeeded in getting about fifty pounds of fine honey and as all our buckets were full we decided to go to camp and return again in the morning. We did so, but upon our return found that Ed. had dropped a coal in the tree so that tree and honey had been entirely consumed during the night. Being thoroughly disgusted we returned to camp, hitched up our team and came home."
 We vouch for the quality of the honey; it was certainly fine. judg- ing from the sample left at this office.

BREWSTER, WASH, BURNED.
Principal Business Portion DESTROYED
Two Business Houses Left.

Brewster. Wash. Aug 1O.-Fire has
destroyed the principal business por.
ton Of this town. Only two business
houses are left standing. The loss Is
about $4,000. with a total insurance
Of $500.
Brewster Is located on the Columbia
river. near the mouth Of the OkanoEan
river, and Is a town Of about 200 in
habitants.
The FIRE originated In DR.. McKinley's
drug store. Flames were first discover
ed coming from the front Of the drug
store. The most generally accepted
theory is that the extreme heat of the
sun against the glass Of the show win
dow caused some OF the chemicals to
explode and start the blaze.
The wind was strong. and despite
the heroic work Of the men and use
Of innumerable so called fire ex.
tinguishers, the fire gained rapidly and
soon had three fourths Of the town
wrapped in flames.
