refuge in the tunnel. Preparations are
being made to rescue the men or get

Of the finest ever built for a similar
purpose. Camp Bird is the mine sold
by Thomas Walsh, the millionaire mine
owner, several years ago, to an Eng

Labor Leaders Still in Jail.

Caldwell.-The sensational allega-
tons made against A. B. Moss, fore
man of the grand jury which indicted
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, were
not sustained when testimony in the
matter was taken before Judge Frank
Smith. Mr.. Moss testified that he had
talked with no one about the case
outside of the juryroom and that he
never had expressed any opinion as
to the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused men.
Affidavits of Governor Gooding and
Attorney James H. Hawley, denying
that they had had any conversation
with Moss in regard to the evidence
in the Steunenberg case, as alleged
by the defense, also were introduced.
The motion Of the defense to quash
the indictments was denied.
The questions raised by the defense
on demurrer were argued at length
and were taken under advisement by
Judge Smith, as was the question of
admitting the defendants to bail.

FIREDESTOYEDTOWN
FOREST fire MADE CLEAN SWEEP
OF NORWOOD, washington.
to Flee for Safety-shingIe and Saw
Mills Are Doomed-Large Loss to,
Farmers-No Reports of Loss of Life
Received.

Bellingham, Wash, March 20.-The'
town of Northwood. five miles from
Lynden, in the Nooksack valley, was,
caught in the path of fierce forest
fire and 30 families are homeless. The
property loss is 100000.
The entire town was laid waste by
the flames. and the little population
had to flee for safety. They arrived at
Lynden and were afforded temporary
relief, but it is uncertain how lasting
this will be, as the flames are creep
ing toward that place. The storm of
flames had been slowly gathering for
hours. Then they commenced to in
crease in density, and shortly before
noon it became apparent that the town
was in the path of the fire and doom
ed. Citizens hurriedly gathered to-
gether their valuables and other eff
fects that could be carried and made
haste toward Lynden.
There are three shingle mills be-
tween Northwood and Lynden which
it will be impossible to save, as they
are directly in the path of the fire.
The loss to farmers is also great, as
many buildings near Custer and Fern
dale are completely wiped out So far
no reports of loss of life have been re-
ceived.

SPORTING NOTES.

Umpire Jack Sheridan announces
that he has signed his 1906 contract
with the American league and would
leave for the east next week.
Joe Cans of Baltimore decisively
defeated Mike (Twin) Sullivan of Bos.
ton Saturday at Los Angeles in 10
rounds. While Sullivan was not
counted out he was on the floor and
practically helpless when the police
instructed the referee to end the
fight.
Splendid progress was made by the
committee which has in charge the
collection of subscriptions for the
proposed Helena club in the North
western league fathered by w. H.
Lucas.
Harry Berthong, who, in 1868, ran
the bases in IA Ia seconds, making
the record, which has stood for nearly
40 years, disputes the claim of Marty
Hogan that he ran the bases in 10 10
seconds. He says that the perform
ance credited to Hogan is a physical
impossibility.
Noah Brusso, the fighter, who, un-
der the ring name of Tommy Burns
made show of Marvin Hart at Los
Angeles February %, is one of the
most unique characters seen in the
square circle in years Brusso is a
French-Canadian, being born at Han
over, Ont, "a years ago. The pugilist
came from a good family and adopted
a ring career to the great chagrin of
his parents However, there was no
keeping the boy out of the prize ring,
as he was SO completely fascinated
by the sport that he was a profess
sional boxer before he realized it.
Brusso is one of the best all round
athletes in the business.
A great number of the eastern base
ball players are drafted from the west
ern league. There is hardly an east
ern team without several western
players. On many teams they are in
the majority.

Rockefeller Located.

John D. Rockefeller, for four months
a fugitive from process servers, has
been located in his home at Lake
wood, N. ]. He was in conference to-
day with his personal counsel, S. c..
t. Dodd, former general counsel for
the Standard Oil Company.
Dodd came to Lakewood yesterday
and at once went to the Rockefeller
house. He spent the afternoon there
and was again in consultation with
Mr.. Rockefeller today. 1t is understood
the conference referred to the hear
ing in the suits brought against the
Standard Oil company by the state of
Missouri, which will be resumed In
five days. Mr.. Rockefeller is practi-
cally prisoner in his home. His es-
tate is patrolled night and day by
armed guards, who have orders to
shoot any one found on the grounds
after dark
Searchlights mounted on a tower
sweep the place all night. One reason
assigned for such extraordinary pre-
cautions is that the richest man in
the world is in constant dread of kid
napers; he fears he will be taken cap
tive for ransom. Mr.. Rockefeller has
resigned his office as trustee in the
Fifth Avenue Baptist church. The
reason given is poor health.
