FIRE AT GRAND RONDE
Agency Barn Destroyed With Com
tents, EntaiIing Loss OF Over
$500.

The barn on the Grand Ronde
Indian reservation in Yamhill county
was destroyed by fire on Tuesday,
with all contents total loss, accord
ing to Superintendent Chalcraft of
the Chemawa Indian training school.
The building was worth from $25OO
to $4,000 and contents, including grain
and hay, harness, wagons, etc, about
$1,000 estimated by Superintendent
Chalcraft
The Grand Ronde Indian agent has
requested a loan of wagons, harness,
ETC., from the Chemawa institution
until such articles can again be pro-
vided by the department. Supt Chal-
craft will at once comply with the
request, rendering such assistance as
is at his command.
No cause was given for the confiag-
ration. 1t is not believed that any Of
the horses were burned and as there
are plenty of sheds at hand for i'm
mediate use, the loss will be more a
matter of dollars and cents than Of
inconvenience to the gency.-Salen

DEATH WAS SUDDEN
w. r. Pfennig Expires OF heart
Disease at His Home in
Southern California.

Tuesdays Salem papers contained
the sad news Of the death of William
Pfennig, which occurred at his home
in Long Beach. California, on Mon
day. His death was sudden, being
caused by heart failure.
The Statesman says: ''Mrs. Vogt
of this city, received the sad news
yesterday of the death Of her brother,
William Pfennig, at Long Beach,
California. Mr.. Pfennig formerly
lived east of Salem, near Fruitland,
but moved to California two years
ago and entered the jewelry business.
He died of heart failure, leaving a
wife, but no children. He will be
buried in California. He was 80 years
old" The Salem Journal says: "Mr.
Pfennig came from Iowa to Salem
about 20 years ago, and lived here the
greater part of the time, with the ex-
ception of three years residence at
Dallas, Polk county,"
The news of Mr.. Pfennig's death
will be received with much sorrow in
Dallas, where he was we'll known and
had many friends. He moved to this
CITY from Woodburn about five years
ago and opened jewelry store next
door to the OBSERVER office, where he
built up an excellent business. He
was man of pleasing personality
and was the soul of honor in his deal
ings with his fellow men. His cheer.
full and kindly ways endeared him tC
all his acquaintanees, and his de
parture from Dallas was deeply re
GREETED by all. His estimable wifi
will have the sympathy of many
friends in her sad loss.
