FOR UNFORTUNATE
DEAF AND DUMB AND BLIND
CHILDREN'S HOME BURNS
Boise City Is Scene of Exciting and
Dangerous Fire Early This Morning
-Forty-four Inmates Marched to
Safety-Had Fire Started Earlier
Deaths Would Have Resulted.

Boise, Idaho, Dec 4.-Forty- four
deaf and dumb and blind children, at
tending a state school here and living
in the old Central school building, had
narrow escape at I o'clock this
morning, when fire attacked the lat
ter building while they were being
marched from the third floor to
breakfast.
The children left the building in
order and not one of them was in
jured. Had the fire started while the
children were sleeping. many of them
would have perished.
The fire started on the third floor
and burned downward. A defective
flue is supposed to have been the
cause. One part of the building was
occupied by a state officer and his
records were damaged by water.
The total loss will be $4,000. The
building was a three story brick.

MAN SAYS WIFE
MADE HIM DRUNK.

Spokane.-Andrew Larsen, brother
of the late Peter Larsen, filed suit
for divorce today against Mary c..
Larsen, alleging that he is afraid to.
live longer with her for fear of his
life. He alleges that of the $4,000
left by his brother in October, 1907,
on account of the extravaganza of his
wife and the squandering of his
money, she has ruined him financial
ly in year.
Larsen claims in his suit that his
wife has induced him to drink liquors
to such an extent that he is unable to
keep from the use of liquor.
A divorce suit was started by Mrs.
Larsen last August, but was dismiss
ed, the plaintiff alleges, after they had
patched up an agreement as to the
division of property. At that time it
was agreed that Mrs Larsen should
have certain property in Seattle and
a lien of $4,000 on the Spokane resi-
dence on Ide avenue, which was to be
paid before the property could be
sold.

fortunate ones.
That the land was open TO entry
was a surprise to all those except
The few fortunate ones upon the inside
although 1t was understood that an
opening proclamation would be pub
lished tomorrow.
Even those who were fortunate
enough to file were startled to re-
ceive from La Grande last evening
notification from the receiver that
their filings had been refused on ac-
count of not having submitted their
water filings to the land office at the
time the land filing was made.
Applications for water were i'm
medately made out at Hermlston by
those interested and second excur-
sion to la Grande resulted. in which
some of the original entrymen were
fortunate enough TO win out. Mr..
Lewis, who received word from a
friend in La Grande that his filing
had been rejected. made an automo-
bile trip to Hermiston where he
made his water filing and returned
to Pendleton late last night, catching
No. 6 here for La Grande.
The muddle came about through a
ruling Of the land office at Washing
ton to the effect that It was neces-
sary to have the water completed
and the first installment of the cost
paid before the homestead entry could
be made.
