BOY KILLED IN BRIDGEPORT FIRE Building Occupied by Miner, Read & Garrette
 Gutted. MICE GNAWED MATCHES Loss to New Haven Firm Wholly Covered by
 Insurance.
MICE GNAWED MATCHES

Bridgeport, June 2.-Carl Tender, eighteen years old, living with his par ents in this city, was killed early to- day from falling walls during a fire which totally destroyed the five-story brick building owned by Dennis E. Mo Namara and occupied by Miner, Read & Garrette, wholesale firm of New Haven. The fire is believed to have been caused by mice gnawing a case of matches. The loss is estimated at about S25,Oo0, with partial insurance.
 Fireman Thomas Cox was knocked down and rendered unconscious by fall- | ing brick, but escaped serious injury. Considerable gasoline was stored in the building, causing two explosions, which aided the flames in the destruction of the block.
 The fire department was called out some time before midnight, and five hours of hard work were consumed in preventing the flames from spreading in the very thickly settled locality,
 Tender, who was killed, was one of several thousand people who were drawn to the scene, and he was run ming away from under the falling walls, when he was trampled upon by pair of horses attached to one of the | fire engines. He had been to the the ater in the evening and had remained at the fire for several hours, causing much concern to his parents, who had been searching for him. The news of his death came upon them as great l shock.
 | An investigation will probably be made of the character of construction of the building, which Fire Chief Mooney very severely criticises, claim- l ing that 1t was most fiimsy and very | fragrant violation of the building ordi- nances. Half dozen firemen had very narrow escapes from fatal Injury by the falling walls owing to the very | light construction.

ENTIRE FAMILY INSANE.
Strange Fate Overtakes Colonists
Bound for Portland.

BY an unheard of coincidence an
entire family, parents and six chill
dren, were seized with an insane ma
mia on a westbound train on the Ore
gon Short Line today and were taken
off at Mountain Home, a station so
miles southeast of this city, says the
Oregon Daily Journal correspondent
at Boise. 1t has so far been impossi-
BILE to ascertain their names.
They were on their way from Illi-
nois to, Portland and appeared to be
well-to-do people. The father was
so violent that it was necessary to tie
him down when he was taken to the
Elmore county Jail. The condition
of the rest of the family is not so
proper care and rest they will re-
| cover.
The only theory advanced to ac-
count for the strongly simultaneously
seizure is that the afflicted ones
shared some peculiar and very high
nervous susceptibility, perhaps hered-
ity in both lines, and that in virtue
of this they were maddened by the
heat and dust rising from the vast
arid plains the Short Line traverses
At this season the summers heat
on the great Snake river plain has
scarcely begun to wane, while the
dust is something almost intolerable
as the fall rains are not due for many
weeks yet. The prenomenon of sud-
den dementia, due t ounaccustomed
altiture is not infrequent on the
mountain divisions of the transconti-
mental lines, but the comparatively
low-lying plain of of southern Idaho
could scarcely produce the conditions
for irresponsible exhileration.
The unfortunates are being well
cared for by the authorities of FL
more county.

RUSH WORK ON NORTH BANK.
Trains to be Running from Kenne'
wick to Vancouver by November.

An official of the north bank rail-
road who was in Hood river, states
very emphatically that the new road
will have trains running on it by No
vember /, and that it will establish
daily connection between Kennewick
and Vancouver by that time, says a
Hood River correspondent From
the Kennewick end of the line trains
will be run as far as Lyle, where
freight and passengers are to be
transferred to boats and again trans
ferred at Cape Horn and taken to
Vancouver by train.
At Cello, where the new roadbed
is not completed, it is the intention to
utilize temporarily the old roadbed
built there some years ago for a por-
tage road around the falls.
Fourteen construction gangs were
put to work this week getting the
road in shape and laying the track
out of Vancouver 1t is claimed that
better than two miles a day will be
made In laying track, and that the
Vancouver end of the line will be
finished by November 1.
1t is not expected to have the por-
tion Of the road from Lyle to Cape
Horn finished before spring, but
with the aid of its boat line the new
road expects to commence transpor-
tation of freight and is already So
liciting business. Agents of the road
have been at Hood River looking up
the situation and expect to get some
business for point on the lower river
as soon as the new line is put in ope-
| ration.

OREGON LICENSE NOT GOOD.
Morrow County Couple Had License,
But COuldn't Wed.

When James Thompson of Hepp-
ner, over in Morrow county, Oregon,
stopped in Portland to get some store
clothes for his wedding, which he
and his bride-to-be, Mrs. Agnes Cur
tbs, had decided should take place in
Seattle, the groom-elect decided to
kill two birds with one stone, and so
he bought the license from the Multi
nomah county clerk, says a Seattle
paper.
Just to surprise Agnes" he re-
marked, land to remind her of dear
old Oregon"
Then James came on to Seattle, but
to his surprise and disappointment a
careful Seattle minister declined to
perform the ceremony.
"Why?" asked James.
simply because a marriage license
issued in one state is not good If the
couple are married in another state"
was the reply.
Then Thompson got busy and tried
to get a new license, but II was long
past closing time at the county au-
ditor's office, where such things are
to be obtained in the state of Wash
ington, and the wedding. had to be
deferred.
But the ceremony was performed
all right, and the blushing bride and
the happy groom declare they don't
care one bit, and when they go back
to Heppner they are going to have
the Oregon license framed along with
the Washington one, and maybe get
married a second time with 1t, Just
for fun.
