SHERIFF
ADVISED CO.
TESTIMONY OF c. T. LYONS
In Justice Hunts Court Monday
Northern Pacific Officer Fined $50
ana Costs for rrcntiss Assault.

G. +. Lyons, the Northern Pacific
city was marked by unusual activity in
the arrest of Migrants. concluding with
an assault upon the person of Hubert
Prentiss, a young man employed by
ID. l.. Thaclker of this city, swore on
the witness stand Monday at his trial
in Justice Hunts court that he had
been advised by Sheriff Lancaster to
leave the country. Lyons evidently
took the alleged advice. for he dis
appeared simultaneously with the is
suance of the warrant for his arrest
and was later arrested by Sheriff Lam
caster at Finley, a station on the North
Bank. Sheriff Lancaster was not called
to refute the assertion of Lyons.
Fined $50 and Costs.
Lyons was fined $50 and costs by
Justice Hunt upon the strength of the
evidence submitted. The costs will
bring the entire amount close to 500.
1t was claimed by the prosecution that
Lyons had maliciously beaten Prentiss
a month ago while he was in the local
yards. Later Prentiss was confined to
the hospital with a complication of
diseases directly attribut- BILE to his
treatment at the hands of Lyons.
Search for Lyons on the night of the
assault by the police failed, and with
the swearing out of the warrant for
his arrest he disappeared.
Mysterious Features.
The case from it's beginning has
many features that need explaining.
The hearing of the criminal case re-
moves the last hindranec from the
Prentiss' path in the bringing of suit
for damages which ne has threatened
against the Northern Pacific. His at
torney was particularly anxious to
have the matter come to trial and
feared that the low bail would not
cause him to appear. At the time Of
the fixing of the bail there was much
adverse criticism expressed at the
amount of the same.

FIRE RUINS THREE HOMES
Disastrous Blaze en- North Seventh,
Street Believed to Have Been
Caused BY Cigarette Stub.

Fire, believed to have been caused
by the careless dropping of cigar
cite stub, near the barn of Peter
Eschbach, at PIP north Seventh street,
Friday afternoon destroyed property
at an estimated value Of $4,000 and
laid in ruins the homes of Joe Gar
recht and Quilted the residences of
Peter Eschbach and Professor A. B.
Dow and totally destroyed five barns.
The losses are: Peter Eschbach resi-
dence, $4,000 { estimated), partially
covered by insurance; Eschbach
barn, $1,000. insured; Joseph Gar
recht home, building owned by Gar
recht estate, $4,000, partially insured !;
A. B. Dow home, damaged by fire and
water, $4,000; Harris barn, 5000, in
sured; Mccoy barn, $500, no insur-
ance. All Of the buildings insured
were covered by insurance policies

The fire was first discovered by
Mrs. w. w. Pettyjohn in the barn of
Peter Eschbach. The flames at that
time We're leaping from the roof of

ffire department spread to the ad-
joining buildings. Gasoline stored in
one of the outbuildngs added fuel
to the flames, and famed by high
wind the fire for a few moments
threatened to wipe out the entire
block. The fire originated in the out
buildings and spread quickly to the
roofs of nearby residences. Most of
the household furniture of the Esch-
bach, Garrecht and Dow homes was
removed and piled in the street. Fur
niture was removed from many near
by houses under the fear of a con-
fagration.
Water Pressure Weak.
The fire department was hindered
at the start by inadequate water sup
ply, the water force being unable to
throw a stream of water on the roof
Of the Garrecht home, a low struc-
ture. With the arrival of the fire en-
CINE water was pumped from an ir-
rigation ditch and the flames were
soon under control. The lack of suffi-
cient power is explained by the fact
that the water mains on Seventh
street are 4-inch pipes, which are be-
low the regulation size. They were
not able to carry a heavy pressure
Considerable criticism was offered
during the fire at the apparent weak
ness of the stream. The deficiency
was due to insufficient pipe area.
Lots of Excitement.
The fire was prolific of excitement
particularly among the women of the
neighborhood. One woman two
blocks from the fire insisted on ma
king her husband move the house
hold furniture out in the street. The
head of the house wanted to watch
the fire, not clean house. Several OF
the firemen had their faces and hands
blistered by the heat The police
were on hand to guard against any
attempts at pilfering.

of the board of equalization Saturday
followed a notice sent TO the Sanitar-
ium people, service of which was ac-
knowledged, but no appearance in
reply was made.
Assessor Sindall, und n the instruc-
lions from the board of equalization
will assess the six acres of S4nitarit.in
property at $3.50 per acre and the
property at an assessed valuation, of
$4,000. A supplemental assessment
will be made on the personal property.
Reduction for Water Company.
Reduction has been granted the
Northwest Light & Water company
from the assessment fixed upon 1t by
the county assessor. Mr.. Sindall, hav-
ing failed in hie efforts to procure a
statement from the company as to
its holdings arrived at his own valu l.
ton, fixing the amount at s728.930.
The property was assessed at 60 per
cent of this valuation or at 1880.
The board of equalization, after hear
ing the claims of superintendent
George Arrowsmith, fixed the value of
the property at 100000 making the
assessed valuation 100000 or $17,-
$50 below the figures OF Mr.. Sindall.
Other equalization matters were be-
bore the board Saturday. Claims
from Grandview were disallowed. A
reduction was made, however, on the
assessment against the Pom ona
Heights lands, the average now being
SIG per acre. At the time this prop
erty was assessed there was an en-
tirely different set of conditions pre-
vailing from those in operation now.
The Pomona water project has been
delayed and it was considered that the
reduction in assessment was entirely
equitable.
