Steve Adams Re.arrested.

BOISE, Idaho.-The state Saturday
made no objection to the release OF
Steven Adams, the witness in the Steu
nenberg case. on the writ of habeas
corpus issued the day before, on ap-
plicaticn of his uncle, John Lillard, of
Haines. Oregon. Assistant Attorney
General Snow appeared for the state
and said the state had no objection to
the man being released if he wished to
leave the penitentiary. 1t had lodged
no charge against him and he was
kept in the institution with his full
consent.
The moment he was released he was
arrested on a fugitive warrant sworn
out here by County Attorney Koelsch
on telegraphic instructions from Sher-
iff Alexander Nisbet of Denver. The
dispatch stated Adams was wanted for
the murder of Lytle Gregory, in that
city on May Is. 1904, and a warrant
had been issued for his arrest. An of
flcer with requisition papers would
leave Denver not later than Monday.

ARGo REFINERY BURNED.
Heavy Loss to Boston and Colorado
Smelling Company.

Denver.-A disastrous fire which
ragged for three hours in the refinery
plant of the Argo smelter Friday
night burned the refinery to the
ground and entailed loss estimated
at over 100000 on the building and
furnaces.
Bullion and partially refined metal
valued at over $4,000 were melted by
the flames and thousands of dollars in
gold and silver were scattered to the
four winds in the dust the smoke car
ried away The fire was discovered in
the mill and is supposed to have orig
mated from an overheated wooden
roof above furnace. There is no in
surance. The fire will cause only par
tial shutdown of the plant Thirty men
are thrown out of employment.
Only by the merest fortune OF a
southerly wind, which drove the
sparks over into the cluster Of COM
pany houses and away from the big
furnaces, was great loss of life pre-.
vented. Had the flames spread to the
furnaces, terrific explosions would
have followed. AS it was. not man
was injured, although there were a
score or more of workmen in the re-
finery when the fire was discovered.
