it a section of each floor from the roof
to the street level, had damaged the
houses on both sides, the occupants oS
which rushed into the street in panic.

street met a similar fate. The rear
wall fell out with a loud report, driv-
ing occupants of houses in the vicinity
into the street in fright. The inierior
of a six-story building in One Hundred
and Third street fell into the CELLAR
leaving only four walls standing. DUR
ing last night and this evening par

THREE ATTEMPTS TO
BURN HARTFORD HOUSE
TRIO OF FIRES WITHIN SPACE
OF AN HOUR.
No Clue to the Miscreant Although Boy
is Seen Running Away After the Sec
Ond Attempt-Few Sundays Ago n
House Near by Was Destroyed by an
Incendiary.

AhceHulNEss
Hartford, March 19.--According to the
fire department and the police, three
unsuccessful attempts were made this
afternoon to burn the house at Is Co
1umbia street, the first two fires being
extinguished' by a household bucket
brigade, but the third being fierce
enough to call out the fire department..
The trio of fires occurred within the
space of an hour, but there is no clue
to the Would-be firebug, although it is
said that boy was seen running away
after the second attempt to burn the
place. ....
The first fire broke out in, a pile OF
rubbish in the cellar, but was put out
a few moments after it was discovered.
Less than half an hour later big pile
of rubbish and waste was seen to be
ablaze in corner of the back yard
near the house. Out of the yard dashed
a boy, but no one thought to give chase,
as it was not believed at the time that
he was a party to the deed.
When the room of one of the board
ers in the house was found on fire a
few moments later there was real ex-
eitement and the fire department was
called. An investigation failed to re-
veal a vestige of the incendiary, and a
rigid investigation is being made A
few Sundays ago the house of w. Mill
Ter Scott in Park Terrace, a few feet
from the scene of to-day's fires, was
destroyed by fire which was believed to
have been the work of an incendiary.

Peter West, the well known divorce

his country home on the Tutuilla

Examiner through the East Oregon

sent in his wifes name, and gave his
reason for so doing so as follows:
you see." said Mr.. West. "the Ex-
aminer gives numerous prizes to
their subscribers, one of them being
the weight of the lucky subscriber in
silver. Now, as a matter of fact, l
weigh only about 100 pounds, my
self, owing to a long and strenuous
career in the divorce courts, and the
narrowing experiences attendant up
on being the husband of IL wives,
but my wife weighs over 800 pounds,
and should she happen to win her
weight in silver, it would amply pro-
vide for us without further pleading
in the interest of disrupted families"

TO BUILD TO wALLowA.
o. r. & N. May Extend the Elgin
Branch to the North.

Parties passing through here today
from the Wallowa section of Oregon,
bring the important news that the
o. r. G. N. will make a move early
the coming spring to extend the Elgin
branch of the Wallowa line down the
Grand Ronde to Charleston and Lew
iston. says the Lewiston Tribune.
The reports in circulation were
started about 10 days ago, after a
railroad man had visited the Wal
Iowa section and informed a friend
that his mission was to check up q
survey made several years ago when
the O. r. s, n. was in a war with the
n. p. over the Clearwater country.
The railroad man further said that
he was confident that the oregon
road had decided to do extensive
work this year, and that while he was
sure the Elgin branch would be ex-
tended to the heart of the Wallowa
country. he also held the view that
extension would be continued to a
connection with the Riparia road if
that-line was built.
For TWO years past lHe NdllONd
people have been clamoring for rail-
road and have sent a number of petit
tions to the o. r. & N. people, who
i'm turn have given assurances that
relief was not far distant.
IT will be recalled that during the
Clearwater fight the o. r. & N. sent
large amount of ties and other
building material to Elgin and the
people for the first time then realized
that the proposed Grand Ronde road
had a bearing on the issues involved
in the controversy between the
roads regarding the business of this
immediate section.
The truce came, however, and since
then not a mile of track has been
built. If, however, the Clearwater
fight is to be adjusted this year, 1t
can be seen, by recalling the incidents
of the past, that the people can also
look for some railroad building in the
Grand Ronde country.
The survey of the Grand Ronde
road shows that grade of 20 feet
to the mile was secured down the
river. The road would serve a rich
country all the way. and would also
provide the most direct route to the
east for the produce of this region.
