Frisco Run.
Crescent City, Cal, March 1.-The
steamer Oregon, with burning cargo,
left here yesterday for Eureka, where
she will be beached. The Oregon
was accompanied from Crescent City
by the steamer Del Norte, and will
make every effort to reach Eureka.
Fire broke ont in the cargo Of the
Oregon Monday evening, when the ship
was northeast Of Crescent City On heI
voyage from San Francisco to Portland
There were Sc passengers on board, be-
sides the crew.
The first thing considered by Capt.
Warner was the comfort as well as the
safety of his passengers. and all OF
them were at once transferred to the
Meteor. The Oregon was then turned
back in her course and headed fol
Crescent city, where it was determined
to beach her in the event of extreme
necessity. Nearing Crescent City. the
steamer Del Norte was attracted by
signals of distress that were still fly
ing. The Del Norte was at once headed
toward the Oregon, and within few
minutes the passengers made another
transfer, this time to the Del Norte.
Shortly after this the burning steam
or and the Del Norte shot out of Cres-
cent City harbor, Capt. Warner believ.
ing he could make Eureka in time to
beach his vessel. Smoke was coming
out of the Oregon in clouds, however.
and it was deemed very doubtful by
those who saw her that she would ever
reach the more southerly port. Capt
Warner and his crew were fighting the
flames in heroic fashion.

president of the defunct Citizens Ma

er two days of Inconsistencies dur

Mr.. Beckwith was about Go years Of

the charge Of violating the national

loans made to Mrs. Cassie l.. Chad

as a result Of worry over his troubles.
He frequently declared during his i'll

fused to take food in any form. Death
resulted directly from heart trouble.
