FIRE.!
The Rose Store Building on
Corner of Third Avenue
and Main Street
Destroyed.

About 2:3O o'clock Saturday
morning, the editors wife, who
sleeps with one eye open and the
other only partially closed, was
awakened by glaring light shin
ing on the bedroom window, and
awakening the family it was dis
covered that the store building
of DR.. Rose, occupied by FL. w.
Counter, was ablaze on the in
side. DR.. Fritz Anderson, who
sleeps in the Poppe building was
also awakened by the same
cause, and arrived at the fire
house at the same time as the
HERALD ADVANCE fireman. AS
may be imagined from the light
thrown out, the building was
burning furiously on the inside,
the flames having burst through
the front windows, but had not
as yet eaten their way through
the roof. When first seen it
looked as if the building was
doomed TO destruction.
After the alarm had been Civ.
en- and mem bers of the fire de
partment had gathered it was
found that the hydrants were
frozen, and it was not until after
considerable delay that the by
drant at the Enos meat market
corner was opened. Even when
the hose was attached it was
some time before proper pres
sure was secured. Fortunately
the wind was blowing from the
southeast and not from the
north, or the fire would probably
not have been con fined to the one
building. AS it was the paint
on theEnos market was scorched
and some of the windows broken.
The falling sparks and cinders
were also a menace to the lum-
Der and sheds Of G.. E. MCGOWAN,
but d mum Der Of watchers were
guarding this danger point, and
the fire was confined to the
building where it had started.
The origin of the fire is not
known. Mr. Counter who occu-
pied the place with a stock of
jewelry, was in the store during
the evening until a late hour, and
took the midnight train for
Minneapolis, but only went as
far as Ortonville that night.
Half an hour before the fire was
discovered the night watchman,
Jas. Dore, Lyle Benedict and
Carl Maynard passed the build
ing together on their way to the
Benedict home and saw the
lamp in the rear of the store
burning brightly, but thought
nothing of the matter as Mr..
Counter had been in the habit
of working IN the store until
late hour. The iron covering on
the building was of considerable
help in keeping down the blaze.
Mr.. Counter had ST., 500 insur-
ance in the North American on
his stock, and DR.. Rose, who oc-
cnpied the rear rooms of the
building as an Office, had instr
ance on the building to the
amount Of s., 900, divided equal
ly among the following compan-
les: Liverpool, London & Globe.
Royal, Mutual of Canton, and
Druggists, and also had $500 on
office furniture and safe. When
the safes were opened the con
tents were found to be intac: and
iu good condition.

DISCRETION
FROM 4HENAVY
EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER OF
MARINES LEAVING THE PACIFIC
SQUADRON AT BREMERTON.

BREMERTON, Aug. S.-,Because- OF
an epidemic of desertion which is de-
pletlng the ranks of the marines on
board the vessels on the Pacific fleet
anchored here and which is rife among
the navy yard force also, a system of
renewed watchfulness has been inau-
gurated to prevent restless or discOn-
tented marines from taking French
leave of Uncle Sans service.
During July there were seventy-three
assertions from the cruiser New York
alone, and the other vessels Of the fleet
suffered like losses. The books of the
navy yard show that so numerous have
been the instances of failure to report
for duty at the expiration of leave Of
absence that marines contemplating
trips to Seattle or elsewhere away from
Bremerton, while off duty are now
closely questioned, and in suspicious
cases are given warning against de-
sertion on pain of the maximum pen
atty.
1t has been the custom OF deserving
marines to doff the blue uniforms and
brass buttons of the service for citi-
zan"s clothes, when planning escape
and a marine now seen in citizen s
| clothes when going off duty is kept
under surveillance, unless his reputa-
| ton is such as to place him Obove
suspicion. When once in Seattle, attdr.
ed in citizens clothes, it is compare
! lively easy matter for a marine tC
successfully desert, either as a sailor
on outgoing vessels, or by train, or or
| foot
A strict watch is kept at the barracks
where the boys in blue usually have
stored in their quarters trinklets, pho
tographs, etc; and If these are missing
| from the walls the marine to whom
they belong is under suspicion. TIT
provision against carrying bundles
through the navy yard gates prevents
any wholesale moving on the part o
the deserter. Many of them go to Sc
attic in uniform, where they buy ;
cheap suit of citizens clothes anS
makes their escape.

FILES ANSWER
TO CHARGES
A. w. CARTER ANSWERS THE
HIM IN PARKER RANCH CASE.

An answer has been filed on behalf
of A. W. Carter replying to the allega-
lions made in the amended complaint
against him by Col. Parker, Wunden-
berg and Low. The document in brief
may be termed a complete and general
denial to the charges Carter Justify
ing his different actions of which com
plant is made and absolutely denying
the charges Of wrong doing.
The papers filed go over each para
graph of the amended complaint and
deals with each in turn. Carter denies
that John Parker father OF the minor
whose estate is involved, was intimate
with Low or Interested in the minor,
until very recently when for motives of
self interest and out of no regard to
the minor Of his relations with her
father ]. S. Low has tagen a great but
wholly discreditable and selfish inter-
est in the affairs of the minor and in
her property rights; that j. S. Low is
representing and has personal and prop
eTty rights which are hostile to and
in conflict with the person and property
interests of the minor, and which are
necessarily involved in these proceed
lngs; and that these proceedings were
not instituted for the benefit of the min
or and are not for her benefit but were
instituted to serve the interests Of the
next friend and third parties, and that
he is mere interloper, intruder and
volunteer in assuming to act as next
friend or otherwise in behalf of the
minor.
Continuing the answer denies each of
the charges of mismanagement and also
denies that F. w. Carter has ever been
under the influence of intoxicants or
that he has absented himself from the
ranch for his own personal pleasure,
The accusation of Lows, it says, is
wilful and malicious and is utterly un-
justified b. the facts.

ELDERLY PHILADELPHIA SPIN
sTER CAUSES REFORM AT A
SEASIDE RESORT.

ATLANTIC CITY, n j.. August g.
A sedate, elderly maiden lady from
Philadelphia was so shocked today by
seeing men and women undressing I'M
der the board walk preparatory to going
into the surf that. she called upon the
police to arrest them. The lighthouses
are so Cvercrowed at the popular time
for bathing, every one wanting to go
in simultaneously, that many guests
became so impatient they could not
wait to get to bathhouse in order to
take their daily dip.
As the spinster lady was walking
along she saw a man busily engaged
with much knotted undershrt, while
sitting near him was a half dressed wo-
man rolling over with laughter. She
watched the mans antics a while, then
FASTENED away and made a report of
the scandal. The whole sleuthing force
of the police department was put in the
trail Was it possible that they I'M
dressed in the open, where maiden Ia
dies might see them? No, they did not.
Their coats came off, then other things,
until-they stood in their bathing suits
which they had been wearing all the
time.
| The problem Of the overcrowded bath
| ing was solved by two Philadelphia POI
lnicians and 1t was soon followed by
hundreds of others, but the elderly
! Quakerite has put an end to it all, for
! the chief of police has instructed his
men to arrest all persons who undress
on or beneath the board walk, even II
they do have bathing suits under their
clothes.
