visit. He looks hale and hearty. He
resides in Portland and owns Il fine
home in that thriving city. While

bright.

der at the time of the accident He
stumbled, and in falling the blade of

Lumber Co., at the north end of the
lake by that name, about four miles
southwest of this city, was wholly
destroyed by fire. about 11:30 Mon
day night, at loss of about $50, 900,
insured for about one-third that
amount. The dry-kiln and store
building were saved only by vigor-
Gus effort of the employees. The
Waterman did not discover the fire
in time for effective service. A large
tank of water on the roof of the mill
was soon exhausted, and the burst
ing of a steam-pipe left the fire. hose
useless. The fire burned for over
two hours, and the blaze was plainly
visible from this city.

under ninety-bOund pressure, in
the capitol building. Monday even
ing, about 5 o'clock. and for a time a
panic ensued among the terror
stricken inmates of the building.
To the presence of mind OF Engineer
Austin is attributed escape from dam
age to boiler and building. He i'm
mediately started both pumps, oper-
ated from another boiler and this
probably prevented an explosion
from the superheating of the tubes
of the injured boiler. Soon as pos
sible steam was shut off from the
break and cap put on to await re-
pairs, Nobody was injured and the
damage to the boiler can be covered
by $40 expenditure.
