miliarly known in his native home in
Lee county, Virginia, as Hike Hall.
He is wanted in Lee county for the al
lesed murder of John Grub and divers
other serious offenSes.
For some months il has been known
that Hall has been making his head
quarters i'm the CoWlitz river country

under the impression that his identity
was unknown.
Hall admits that he killed Grubb, but
claims that he did il in self defe~se.
He stated to Sheriff Urquahart that he
had killed eight men, remarking that
some men would never be good until
they were dead, and that he had run up
against eight whom he found il neces-
sary to make good. The man is 90

SURRENDER OF
THE MUTINEERS
Roumania Promised to Treat Them as
Foreign Deserters.
RUSSIA WILL GET WARSHIP
CHASE FOR THE KNIAz PoTEM-
kline OVER.

- USTENJI. Roumania, July S.-The
flag Of St Andrew once again
floats over the battleship Kniaz
Potemkine and the torpedo boat which
have proved such terrors to the Black
sea communities for a couple of weeks
past. The formal surrender of the mu =
tinOus crews actually occurred at
O'Clock this afternoon after series or
discussions and negotiations between
the Roumania authorities and the lead
ers Of the mutineers.
Came Back to Surrender.
The Roumanian officers who boarded
the battleship on her arrival here, called
upon the crew to surrender in which
case they would be treated as foreign
deserters or else leave the port forth
with. IT speedily became apparent that
the Russian vessels returned TO this
port with the intention Of giving them
selves up to- "a foreign government and
the crews soon announced their accept
ance of the Rumanian terms. The mu-
tineers wanted to take off the treasure
which was on board the kniaz Potem-
kline. but the authorities declined to ac-
quiesce-

and viii then be liberated. the local Of
ficials having given an understanding
to this effect. The ROumanian flag has
been hOisted over the Russian war ves-
sells as well as the Russian. so as to
prevent any attack on them in ROuma-
uian waters by the vessels of the Rus
sian squadron, which are reported to be
III pursuit of the mutineers.
The mutineers on the Kniaz Potem-
kline offered TO surrender as deserters
and the Roumanian authorities de-
manded the breech-loclIs of the bat
tieships guns as pledge of good faith.
The mutineers offered to present the
battleship to the Roumanian govern
ment as they declared they We're
anxious that she should not be handed
over to Russia
Explanation Demanded.
General AngeIesco, commanding the
DObrula division and the port COM
mander proceeded to the mutineer's
battleship to demand an explanation
of the reasons for her temperance in
Roumanian waters. Soon after she had
anchored the Kniaz POtemkine began
exchanging signals with the royal
guardship Psezquape and il was the
belief ashore that the mutineers con-
templated surrendering in accordance
with the terms offered by the ROuma-
MAN government, when the battleship
last visited this port.
Created Excitement.
The appearance Of the Kniaz Potem-
kline and the rumors concerning the in
tentions of her crew created the great
est excitement in Kustenji and at
tracted large crowds 70 the sea front.
The excitement was increased later in
the day when il became known that the
mutineers had offered to surrender to
the Roumanian authorities as deseTters
and that the Rounanian officials had
demanded the breech-lOcks Of the guns
of the battleship a pledge Of the mu-
tineers' good faith.
The mutineers asked the ROUmanian
authorities to guarantee that they
would furnish the sailors who surreu-
dered with ROumanian passports and
also to guarantee that they shall not
be extradited to Russia.

EXCITING TIME
AT G0LDFlELD
Town Was Ablaze and Supply of
Water Short.
CHAMPAGNE USED INSTEAD
EXPENSIVE, BUT 1T HELPED
SAVE THE CAMP.
Especial to The Herald.l

NOLDFIELD, New, July S.-More
II champagne and beer and ale in
bottles was destroyed here this aft
ternOon in the short space of fifteen
minutes than could be consumed by the
whole camp in a week, and it all went
to help subdue a confIagration which,
at one time. babe fair to wipe Gold
field from the face of the map. A leak
ing gasoline tank on an automobile took
fire a few minutes before o'clock
and in the explosion that followed
flames enVeioped a nearby cabin. In
/ that instant it seemed as if the whole
camp was doomed TO destruction, for
alongside the blazing cabin was the
uncOmpleted structure of the new Gold
field hotel. which had reached a height
of four stories, and which offered it's
wooden frame work as fuel for the
blaze. All around were the most in
flammabe structures. not one of them
insured and with no organized fire de-
partment and an insufficient supply of
water. The sight of the towering
flames drove the populace mad.
Burned Itself Out.
In the four blocks that it claimed for
its own the fire licked up everything,
and then by the chance of north
west wind. burned itself out Had the
wind been from any other quarter the
whole business part of the town would
have been destroyed with cOnsidera bic
loss of life and a tremendous loss of
property. As it is the loss is at least
100000, and may so higher. when all
the reports are in. All the lumber used
in the construction of the hotel and the
other buildings had come by freight
over many miles of railroad and had
then been hauled by teams over nearly
thirty miles of desert. The loss of luIn-
Der for the hotel alone is sixty thousand
dollars.
Champagne Instead of Water.
A hundred feet from where the fire
started there is a wholesale liquor
house. in which there is a stock of hun
dreds of barrels. This was the danger
point of the conhagratiOn. and to wet
the blankets that were thrown over the
roof and the adjacent general store of
Magyar Brothers, bottles of champagne
and beer were broken open by the dOz-
ems 1t was expensive, but effective
and the flames were not able TO obtain
a fOOthold on either of the buildings
In the excitement of the fifteen min
utes in which the flames were burn
ing fiercest, invalids were dragged out
into the streets, safes were hauled out
of buildings, trunks were piled on the
highways, furniture was heaped up in
every open space. and tonight, even
those whose dwellings were never in
danger, are trying TO find the beds on
which they will sleep.
Town in Darkness.
The camp is in darkness. all the cleo
trio light wires being down or ground
ed. There is not a telephone connection
and the water supply is limited in many
parts of the town. In all the fire only
one man was injured and he might have
escaped had he not gone back into a
burning cabin to get his diamond ring
out of a trunk.
