MERELY TECHNICAL FAULT,
Arrest Of Or. Chadwick Will Probably
Take Place as Scheduled.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 26.-County Pros
ecutor H. r. Keller when shown the
dispatch from Albany, today, stating
that Sheriff Barry had been refused
an extfadition warrant for DIR. Chad
wick. said:
The papers which Sheriff Barry car
ried TO Albany were in regular form
and l cannot understand why the war
rant requested has been refused. 1t l.
PROBABLY mere technically, however,
owing to the difference in the laws of
Ohio and New York. The reauisition
as issued by Gov. Herrick, explicitly
states that DR.. Chadwick is a fugitive
from justice in Ohio; that he has been
indicted by the grand jury Of this
county on the charge Of forging and
uttering note for 5000, 900 singed An
drew Carnegie. that the crime was
committed in Cuyahoga county. Ohio,
March 5. 1903, and that the Indictment
is sufficient in itself for placing DR..
Chadwick on trial on the charges
named
Mr.. Keller expressed the belief that
the extradition warrant would be
eventually granted by the New York
authorities.
Gov. Herrick upon reading the AL
bany dispa. ch, said:
Il am much surprised at the ac-
ton of the New York authorities In the
matter. The requisition was issued only
after a most complete investigation Of
the affidavits submitted by the officials
of Cuyahoga county. I have no copy
Of the papers with me here. but my
impression is thaf the date OF the al
legged crime was duly set forth"

was paid to live or dead as marked

FIRE AT LIVERM0RE.
Thought to Have Been the Work
of a Firebug---No Insurance
on Building or Stock.

The large sawmill Of Col. X. j.
Hackett at Livermore burned TO the
ground last Friday morning at 1880
The FIRE Is supposed to have been OF
incendiary origin. The fire was first
discovered by the Waterman at the
Geneva mill which Is east of Hackett
mill and the alarm given but the fire
was under such Roadway that II was
impos sible to save the mill so the peo-
pie went to work to keep the other
buildings from burning and confined
the FIRE to the mill.
The loss consist OF the mill, dry
house and storage room. In the dry
house 81, 900 worth ofrims and spokes
burned, making total loss OF 81, 600 or
s.. 600, with no insurance.
Col. Hackett Is one Of the Oldest mill
men, having been engaged In bust
ness at I.ivermore for over forty five
years. He has been rather unfortu
nate In the way OF fires, this being
the fourth mill to burn, and one ex-
plosion of the boiler, making five
heavy losses for him.
Mr.. Hackett 1t Is said Is conf dent
that this was the act of an incendiary
as they examined the mill closely for
fire that night before going to their
home and the FIRE originated In q part
OF the mill where there was no chance
for FIRE. There have been some belts
cut and other damage done around
the mill lately. which confirms Mr..
Hackett In the belief of Its having
been set on FIRE. They had no nigh

their engineer. slept In his Office and
G,d to be awaken to get him out Of
tn. building. Mr.. Hackett and his
son, Edgar. say they will rebuild the
mill at once.
