rollers" dropped in his his tracks.
Esther Mitchell was at once arrested.
The Mitchells, George, Perry and
Fred, were sitting with Esther on q
bench in the big waiting room, talking
together and apparently on the best of
terms. When the Oregon train was
announced, George Mitchell rose and
started forward. His sister stepped to
his side and pressing the revolver close
to his head, pulled the trigger before
anyone had realized what was happen
ing.
Esther Mithcell is the sister to avenge
whose alleged i'll treatment George shot
Crefield. She Ras refused to have any
thing to do with her brother since the
shooting. Thursday was the first time
time they have been seen together on
good terms.
Esther Mitchell made the following
statement:
MRS. Cretfield and l talked over the
matter of killing George. The one that
had the best chance was to do it. Mrs.
Creffield bought the gun.
We were at the room about 4 CLOCK
during the afternoon and 1 thought
that would have better chance to do
it than Mrs. Creffield gave me the gun
and was to do it. We agreed that it
was to be done as soon as possible.
Mrs Crefield had been out once or
twice looking for George and if she had
got the chance she would have done it
and would have done the same. The
first that got chance was to do it. /
would have done it before if 1 had got

by the fanatical leader that Mitchell

President Bonilla of Honduras may be

1t is now known that General Re

Guatemala, when he resolved to ex-

He started out accompanied only by

LOSS OVER $25,OOO
Store of J. B. Mullinss & Son
 Gutted This Morning.

The handsome store of J. E. Mullings X Son, clothiers, merchant tallors and gents furnishers, 101 Bank street and 96 South Main street, was badly gut ted by fire this morning and stock damaged to the amount of $25,0OO. The loss to the building and fixtures is estimated at $2,5O0. The fire start etlA in waste basket ill the cutting de- pertinent on the north side of tue i building, Bank street entrance, and it
 must have been smouldering for q ! long time before 1t was discovered and would have resulted in q big contiag- ration were it not for the fire proof building which kept the flames con | fined until the department arrived and i extinguished them.
 | Shortly before 6 o'clock a family across the way on South Main street | noticed what was thought to be q ! flicker of light ill the building and called to man who was hurrying | along the sidewalk that the Mullings l block was burning. The man looked up but as there was nothing unsual I visible on the outside he passed along | about his business. Then the family called to the proprietor of the Why lunch, who telephoned to the Scovill | street engine house and a few mo- ments later the company swung into South Main street and commenced Op- erations. They also rung in an alarm from box in Exchange place.
 l When the firemen got there most of the plate glass had given away and smoke and fire were issuing through the skylight. The flames were ex- tinguished in short order but not be- fore a lot of valuable stock had been eaten up and the store, which was probably. one of the finest in the state, pretty badly used up. The firm had just completed a big ten days sale and the spring stock was being put in, a large consignment being received yesterday. some of which had not been sorted out and lay in tiers on the counters.
 Chief Snagg said there was no ques- tion about where the fire was but what caused it it was something which it was impossible for him to determine. He had no doubt but that it originated in the waste basket in the cutting de- partment. The chief put the damages to the building at $1,500, but of course this does not include the fixtures. so that Mir Mullings' estimate of $2,50O on the store and fixtures cannot diff fer very materially from that of the chief engineer. Mir Mullings told a representative of the Democrat that while it was pity to see such store and stock gutted by fire still he was not disheartened and wanted to say that as soon as the insurance is ad- justed business will be resumed on the South Main street side. The damage is fully covered by insurance.
 Mir Mullings was one of the business men whose place went up ill smoke | i'll the big fire of February 2, 1902 which wiped out the major portion of the business part of the city, but like his neighbors he returned mightier than ever and the character of the structure raised above the ashes of the former site demonstrated the ben eft to be derived in public way from the use of fire proof material.
