futile. A citizen named Chamblish
was killed by falling walls, and May

condition tonight being reported as
precarious.
In the afternoon the fire spread to
Latonia. a residence district, where
It destroyed some Of the finest

and the postoffice protected their
treasures.

from Jackson and has 5000 inhabl-
tants.

Pier IL was 500 feet long and was
soon ablaze its entire length, and the
firemen who were trying to fight the
fire from the shore were able to ac-
complish but little. The flames then
swept across pier IL and beyond, be-
ing finally checked at pier s, which

awanna, placed the total loss by fire
at $5,O00,000, based on the original
cost of the piers burned and the

Driscoll a Second Wad.


Butte, May 26.-After having paid
her $4,000, DR.. o. b. Whitford has

ter and a prominent lawyer, are be-
lieved to eb in the alleged conspir-
acy to extort money from DR.. Whit
ford. The case will be tried next
Tuesday.
Before leaving for California, DR..
Whitford made statement in which
he admitted having given the girl
$4,000 In two installments. He first
met the girl three years ago, he said.
She was then "a years of age. Miss
Driscoll told the doctor she was a
music teacher. She declared she
had no means and he did all he could
for her in professional way.
"She knew | had money" contln-
ued the doctor, "and she seemed de-
termined to get 1t all. The girl talk
ed me into giving her $1,000. Then
she went to California. Later she
wrote me that she must have more
