VALPARAISO, Aug. 20.-Fires
are dying out as there is little left
to burn. Dynamite is freely used
to demolish walls. The city was
built largely of adobe, except In the
business district, where steel made
the conflagration less than if wood
had been used.
Various estimates Of casualties
and property loss are given but
none are authoritative. The proper
ty damage will probably be above
$500, 100000.
Every effort is now being ex.
pended in caring for refugees and
burning the dead. Soldiers patrol
the city and the military is in full
control. Civil authorities lost all
control in excitement.

amount of damage. Workmen flee

ably reopen today.

MEAT COSTS
HIM $50

William Seablar, a sausagemaker
for William Shoulders meat mar.
ket at IS Main avenue, was
fined $50 and costs by Justice Hin.
kle this morning for the larceny of
a ham and two strips of bacon.
Shoulder said when he returned
from lunch one of his men told him
Seablar came into the place and
stole a ham. Shoulder had that
same morning discharged Seablar.
The proprietor went to the saus-
agemaker's room, up over the mar
ket, and demanded his ham. Seab.
lar denied having it, but Shoulder
told him to bring back the meat
or be arrested. Later on Seablar
came in the back door Of the mar
ket with the ham and also a long
butcher knife with which he pro-
ceeded to make hostile advance
upon his former boss. The former
boss beat a retreat and telephoned
the police station. Detective Weir
and Patrolman Miles responded
and placed Seablar under arrest.
Later, the landlady telephoned
headquarters that she had found
two strips of bacon under Seablar's
bed. This was also identified as
the property of Shoulder as 1t bore
his brand.
Both men are Germans and

the price of wool was not up to the

the wool pays the expenses and the

be said that the manner in which the
wool was purchased last year at high
prices and on the sleeps back spoil
ed the grower and their hopes and
ambitions were so high that they were
disappointed when at other times they
would have rejoiced. When wool was
selling around twelve and fourteen
cents, it is stated, the grower thought
eighteen and nineteen cent wool was
wonderful, while twenty cent wool
was their fondest dream.

WOOL SEASON IS
AT AN END TODAY
Continued from page u

entire season, the wool prices have
been exceedingly unsatisfactory to the
grower. There has been no twenty
five cent WOOL and the growers in
many cases deemed themselves for
tunate, especially on the Great Falls
market, if they obtained twenty cents
for their clips.
The Great Falls market has been
considered the best in the state for a
number of years, but it has unquestion-
ably lost its prominence for good
prices this year, for the Lewistown
and Billings markets have been much
higher and in every way much more
satisfactory to the grower than that
at the Cascade county metropolis.
Whether the cause is that the feeces
are heavier and the wool dirtier is not
known, but the fact remains that the
markets outside of Great Falls have
been much better this year than those
at that place.
Many of those who had their clips
for sale in the Great Falls market
have been very much disappointed in
the prices this season. Wool sold there
as low as fifteen or sixteen cents.
which last season brought better than
twenty. The clip of the Beartooth

Boston, Aug 9.-Following today's
National league base ball game be-
tween Boston and Pittsburg. there was
personal encounter between the man.
aSer and First BaSeman Fred Tenney
OF the Boston team and Umpire Klein.
Tenney accused KLEIN of neglecting to
deliver over to him the balls used in
the game, which are always considered
the property of the home club. He then
attempted fOrcibly to search the UNI
pire's pockets. An exchange of blows
followed and Klein, it is alleged, threw
one of the balls at Tenney, hitting
him in the face. Both men bear marks
of the encounter.
AT yesterdays game. the second of
the series, a good deal of i'll feeling
was shown on both sides on account Of
decisions rendered by Umpire John
stone.

at the entrance to the Polo grounds
today, tombstone. by order of the pO-
lice Inspector Sweeney, was refused
admittance, and Emslie. who accom-
panied him. declined TO take any part
in the game so long as his associate
was not allowed 10 perform his Off
cial function. tombstone then forfeit
ed the game to New York, basing his
decision on the local clubs refusal to
admit him to the grounds.
Manager McGraw. called on his util-
ity man, Strang. to officiate as UNI
pire. Manager Chance refused to ap-
point man from his team to act in
conjunction with Strang, saying that
the game had been forfeited under
the rules. Strang then declared the
game forfeited TO New York 9 to 0.
| Police Inspector Sweeney when seen
! later on, said that he had not taken
the initiative in preventing Umpire
tombstone from entering the grounds
and added that it was at the request
of the management of the New York
/ club that he had acted as he did.
