Because of a quarrel with his wife, Louis
P. Schaffner. 1919 Remington street. who
for twenty-five years had been reputable
lawabiding citizen, four weeks ago again
turned to burglary and came TO his death
early Saturday morning by falling from a
window in the grocery store of B. c. Vert
which he had just robbed. The body was
discovered at o'clock in the morning by
Frank Lackey. contractor. who was pass
ing. 1t was stretched in the alley adjoining
the store and the bruises showed that the
man had fallen on his face, death resulting
almost instantly from a broken neck.
Twenty-Five years ago Schaffner was ar
rested with his father and was convicted
on charge of burglary. The father was
sent to the penitentiary. while the son
served term in the Reformatory. After
his release he still piled his chosen profess

FOREST FIRES
RAGE IN MONTANA
Their Fury is Unabated, Small
Holders of Timber Land Being
The Chief Sufferers
COURIER HAS NARROW ESCAPE.


Butte. Mont, Aug. 5.-Forest fires
are still raging with undated fury In
the timber lands of Flathead county
and from ali reports received thus far
the damage will run into the thousands
of dollars. Small holders of timber
lands are the chief sufferers. They are
not only losing their timber, but their
cabins and home buildings as well as
their stock Of provisions and hay and
grain for their animals are being rapid
~ consumed. Their condition In many
instances will be deplorabe.
The fires are not only confined to the
forest surrounding Kallspell, but the
finest lumber sections in northern
Montana. The thlckly wooded sections
about Atlanta, Sterling and Fisher
river are burning as well as the timber
west of Libby and between Troy and
Bonner's Ferry Ida.
About a haf-dozen frame buildings
on the outskirts Of White Fish have
been burned Several buildings belong
ing TO n rancher named Hoffman, near
by, have been destroyed. The saw mill
Of Baker brothers was burned.
The people living In the timbered sec
tlons are all out fighting the fire, but
are almost poweress TO check It's ad-
vances. Much hay between White Fish
and Columbia falls has been burned, as
wei as al meadow land In the section
where the fires are raging.
Fires raging In the north fork Of
Flathead river country are doing much
damage to the timber In the Flathead
forest reserve and people returning
from that section report that the dis
lance around the fires at that point
at present exceeds Is miles.
A White Fish report says the timber
is on fire on both sides Of the county
wagon road, and IL was with difficulty
a courier was able to urge his horse
through, having narrow escape from
the fire. The roads now are said to be
utterly impossible.
The home of Fred Hugg, living al
| Ashley lake, was burned and all his
belongings consumed In the fire while
he and his family escaped with none OF
| their effects.
! The FIRE at Bolton was extinguIshed
| this week after It had done great dam
age to the timber, but at Coram and In
| that vicinity II Is still eating Its way
! through the heavy forests.
] From reports from the burned area
! thus far received It Is said that tht
| area Of timber so far consumed
| amounts to several townships.
A forest fire In the Crazy mountains
! 20 miles north of Big Timber has
| done considerable damage in the las
| few days. The fire started last Sun
day and has gradually increased, unit
| It has burned over a large stretch o
heavily wooded country. Parties II
Big Timber from that section stateC
that among the timber burned is some
