HERMIT GETS A FORTUNE.
Luck Comes to Aged Recluse Of Sal
mon, Idaho.

Luck Comes to Aged Recluse Of SAL
mon, Idaho.
With all his life behind him. his
20 years of existence bearing the i'm
print Of most Of life's Ilardships and
few of it's tawdriest pleasures, Edwin
Hurd, an eccentric character and her
init of the hills around about Salmon,
Idaho, is now in possession of a for
tune of $4,000 in cash and securities.
Fifty years ago he ran away from
his home in New York. He was the
only son of well to do parents. His
was wild, adventurous spirit. He
finally became remorseful and wanted
to see the old home again. The most
searching investigation failed to re-
veal the whereabouts Of father and
mother and he gave up in despair, af-
ter he found the old home in New
York had been sold, his parents remov-
ing to an unknown locality. But all
the time Hurd had been searching
for his parents, his parents, it appears,
had been untiringly seeking some
trace of their erring boy. The father
died and left investments that now
have yielded $4,000 in available cash
and valuable securities, constantly en-
HANGING in worth.
Some time ago, firing of his lonely
life, and desiring some one to share
his humble cabin with him, he sought
a wife through matrimonial agency.
The contract was made, and the I'M
suspecting woman, arriving late on the
Salmon coach, was led the three miles
through the snow and mud Of the
rough trail to the cabin of the hermit
Kept there for almost a month she
finally got away, her nerves shatter-
ed by her experience.
At first, when Hurd spread the state
ment of his newly acquired wealth, it
was received with disbelief and many
thought the old man had become Graz
ed by his life. A prominent attorney
of Salmon took charge of his affairs
and the true condition of his estate
was brought to light.
Hurd's right to the fortune has been
indisputably established.

THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Few Minor Fights oceur--War oppo
sition In Russia.

Few Minor Fights oceur--War oppo-
sition in Russia.
There we're minor clashes between
the two armies in Manchuria last
week, but nothing that approached an
engagement in character. Low tenn
perature still prevails and, warned by
the suffering that grew out of Kuro-
patkin's recent aggressive movement,
there is evidently disinclination to
attack with large bodies at a time of
such severe frost. Artillery has been
active, however, and during the week
the Russians shelled the Japanese
right, left and center, but apparently
without effect.
It was announced at st. Petersburg
that Rojestvensky's squadron, now in
the Indian ocean, would proceed to
the far east during the month so as
to avoid the bad weather of the mon
soon season, and assurances were
given that additional vessels would be
sent out from the Baltic to make the
Russian fleet in Asiatic waters still
more formidable.
There are signs that the Japanese
will blockade Vladivostock with the
opening of spring, but the Russians at
that garrison profess to be in readi-
ness to Withstand siege and insist
that blockade can not work any Sc
rious hardships to an army within
that is now well supplied
Opposition to the war is still mani
fest in Russia, and several newspe-
pers have boldly demanded that it be
stopped. Persons high in authority
continue to scout the idea of peace
and reiterate the determination of the
car and his counsellors to prosecute
hostilities with more energy than ever
before.

Big FIRE in MOBILE
FAMOUS BATTLE HOUSE is EN-
TIRELY RUINED.
Although an Old Hostelery, Was one
Of the Largest in the south-Flames
Spread RapldIy-AII Guests Es-
Oaped--city Electric Lights Cut OFF
to Save FIremen.

Mobile, Ala, Feb. 14.-Losses al.
ready estimated at $25O,OOO have been
caused by a fire that left the famous
Battle house ruin and swept on to
buildings adjoining.
The fire broke out in some unoccu-
pied rooms over the kitchen of the
Battle house, which, although an old
hostelry, was one of the largest in the
south. The flames spread so quickly
that number of guests lost all their
belongings and not few of those on
the fifth floor were compelled to take
to the fire escapes in their night
clothes. Two elevator boys stuck to
their posts until all the guests had
been gotten out. although the elevators
caught fire and the youngsters were
burned about the face and hands.
An hour after the fire started all
the electric lights in the business por-
ton of the city went out, due partly to
the turning off of the power to save
the f1remen from danger and partly
to save one of the main feed wires be-
ing broken.
At 3 O'Clock the fire was burning
fiercely, the heat thrown on the Com
mercial hotel, adjoining, being intense.
The loss in Battle house will be
$250,000, and William B. lizard, the pro-
prietor, states that half of this is COW
cred by insurance.
One person was killed and several
seriously injured in the Battle house
fire.

Voice in Government.
st. Petersburg-'I am not opposed
to a zemsky tabor On the contrary, /
believe it necessary"
In these words Emperor Nicholas,
whose word is law, personally declar-
ed himself in favor of land congress
and expressed the conviction that the
time had come to prepare to give the
people voice in government.
The emperor's words were spoken
in the course Of a conversation with
Count Leo Tolstoi, son of the famous
author, and fully confirm the Associ-
ated Press interview with Grand Duke
Vladimir on January 81, in which the
grand duke expressly declared that his
august nephew was in favor of zem-
sky tabor. The semi-ofiicial denials
subsequently sent out are not disprov-
ed by the sovereign's statement to
Count Tolstoi.
