$500 FIRE IN OLD TOWN
Four Buildings in Restricted Dis
trict Destroyed
None of Them Will Be Rebuilt

At about half past on Sunday morn
ing the residents of Old Town were
awakened by number of pistol shots.
Nearly everybody turned over in bed
and went to sleep again, as the crack OF
the pistol has been 80 frequent lately as
not to disturb our slumbers. Soon the
cries that the town was on fire aroused
a majority of the leople, and everybody
turned out to either help put out the
flames or steal that which was saved
from the burning buildings.
The fire started in one of the rear
rooms of the cribs adjoining the Rainier
bar, owned by Mrs. Eta Gregory. 1t
was seen from the start that the build
ing was doomed. so efforts were made to
save what furniture and fixtures there
were in the saloon. The piano, slot
machines and large portion of the
stock in the small building were saved
from the fire. The slot machines were
robbed by parties from both sides of the
line. One of the machines was taken
over a block and there robbed while a
large portion of the spectators were
to save property from the
Rainier and other buildings.
The fire department from the Wash
ington side arrived in good season, but
they lacked about 100 feet of hose to be
of much service, as the hydrants were
located in the yards of the McInnis
Lumber Co., long distance from the
scene of the fire. Finally DIR. Phillips
made a flying trip in his auto to the
Moeser- Remly mill and secured more
lose. Before his return the building
ormerly used as an opera house on the
side was in flames, and all |.
Efforts were made to save the Palace
md Newport hotels.
After hard work the flames were got
en- under control, but four buildings
lad been destroyed.
The total loss will probably reach
1900 and Is divided as follows: Edith
>orest, $4,000, with an insurance on the
uilding of $25OO; Eta Gregory, saloon
nd store building and contents, $4,000,

CLUB WANTS BETTER EXHIBIT
Stevens County Making Poor
Show at Exposition.
Working For More Industries.

From all reports reaching Newport i
seems that it would have been mucl
better not to have attempted to max,
an exhibition of the products and in
dustrles OF Stevens county at the Seattle
exposition. Those who have seen i,
unanimously declare that the exhibits
are but poor representation of this
magnificent county, with its wealth OF
varied resources.
However, the blame for the poor show
ing does not attach entirely to those in
charge OF the work. 1t is impossible for
any man or set of men to make credit
able showing without the cooperation
Of the people of the county. Numerous
appeals have been issued to ranchers
and manufacturers of the county to
bring in samples of their products, but
almost without result.
This matter was discussed at the meet
ing of the Commercial Club Wednesday
evening, and it was agreed by all pres
ent that some effort should be made to
remedy existing conditions and get
something on display from this side of
the county. Ranchers who have fine
samples of vegetables, fruits, grains or
grasses, are requested to bring them to
the secretary of the club, R. S. Ander-
son. by next Wednesday, and they will
be taken care of and sent to Seattle TO
be shown.
Several other matters of importance
were discussed by the club, relating to
the establishment of more manufacture
ing industries at this place. commit
tee consisting of Fred l.. Wolf, J. II.
Gibbs and A. NJ Harris was named to
gather information relative to available
sites for manufacturing purposes and
terms on which these sites can be Sc
cured for the use of such industries.
Several important manufacturing EN-
terr rises are at the present time looking
for new sites and securing information
regarding towns in the northwest, with |
a view to locating in one of them. The
club is in touch with these parties and
will do all in its power to induce them
to locate here.

Bonner County Adjourned

Bonner county's district court and
grand jury adjourned Saturday, without
the grand jury accomplishing the big
things expected of it.
E. B. Warriner, justice of the peace
from Newport precinct, was sentenced
in the district court Saturday morning
by Judge R. N. Dunn to pay fine of
$500 or to spend $50 days in the county
Jail.
Warriner was found guilty by the jury
at his trial on an indictment returned
by the grand jury last week, but SEN
tence was suspended until Saturday.
The defendant was found guilty of false
imprisonment of one Henry Elmer, a
colored man.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Dunn
stated that as it was not obligatory on
the part of the defendant to be present
In person in court at the time sentence
was given, he considered that it was on
account of desire of the defendant to
not be present and informed Attorney
II. H. Taylor what the sentence would
be. The judge granted stay of execu-
ton OF the judgment until the supreme
court has made decision on the case,
rs Attorney Taylor moved for an appeal
1T once.
The cases of the state against H. j.
and Louis Mars and Charles
dholson and John Larson, all saloon
men of Newport, charged with having
permitted women to enter and frequent
heir saloons. were dismissed by the
'ourt. The same parties were indicted
or keeping disorderly houses and the
ases were continued to the next term

None of the buildings will be rebuilt
according to the statements of the own
ers and tenants. The loss on the build
ings was total, but most of the furniture
in the Forest and Brice buildings was
sayed.
The merchants and other business
men on this side of the line feel very
grateful to the Washington side of the
line for the efforts of the fire department
in saying the town from a general fire.
The night was quiet, else the Newport
hotel, Dutton & Russell hospital and all
other buildings would certainly have
been destroyed, 1t was only by the
hardest work that the Newport and
Palace hotels were saved.
During the progress of the fire certain
young men carried slot machines from
the buildings and robbed them, after
breaking them. About so boxes OF
cigars were taken from the Gregory
buildings and cached in vacant lot
across the street. Parties were noticed
afterwards taking the cigars from their
cache and making away with them.
These parties are known and will prob
ably be apprehended later.
The Forest building was formerly the
Opera House on the Washington side.
1t was one of the first large buildings to
be erected in New Town and was used
as theater and dance hall with a lodge
room upstairs. This spring it was
moved over to Old Town and being
caught in bad company met its fate.
