ELEVATOR MAN PROVES HERO
Rescued Score Of Persons from Burn.
ing Building in Chicago.

Chicago, May 26.-It was with
difficulty that scores of men and
girls escaped from a fire which at
tackled the lard house of the
Schwartschild & Sulzberger COM
pany today. L. j. Drew, an eleva-
tor conductor, made several trips
through smoke that choked the
shaft and removed twenty men
whose escape had been cut off. A
panic followed the sudden cessation
of the electric current which supplied
the lights. In the darkness many
workers were unable to find their
way to the stairway A dozen girls
on the third floor were shown
through the back corridors by a
policeman lighting matches. The
loss will amount to $4,000.
The fire originated on the lower
floor of the building and spread
through the structure and the build
ing was one mass of flames when
the department arrived. The blaze
is believed to have started from a
poorly insulated wire.

TO TRY INDIAN FOR MURDER.
Hearing of William Barley Begins
at Portland Thursday.

Portland, Ore. May 26.-The case
OF William Barley, Umatilla In
dian, charged with the murder of
Sid 0. Jacobs, white man, will be
called for trial in the federal court
tomorrow The killing of Jacobs
was one of the most fiendish mur-
ders in the criminal annals of ore
gon.
Trouble between Barley and ia
cobs originated several years ago,
when Barley lost a valuable horse
and accused Jacobs of stealing the
animal. Later the friendly relations
between the two men were
apparently resumed through sub
sequent developments showed
that the Indian was merely biding
his time to become revenged.
On the day of the alleged murder
Barley approached Jacobs with the
request that he accompany him to
the top of distant hill, where he
believed he had made discovery
that would be of value to both of
them. Before starting on the walk
the Indian is said to have provided
himself with revolver and a scalp
ing knife, and to have confded to an
old Indian woman that Jacobs would
never come back alive.
When Barley returned alone
from the hill climb he is said to
have confided to the old Indian wo-
man how he had killed Jacobs. &C
cording to the story, when the two
had reached the top of the hill,
Barley fell back few steps, took
careful aim and shot Jacobs in the
back of the head. Then he rushed
forward with his scalping knife, ac-
cording to his story. cut his vic
TINS throat and did a demon dance
around the PROSTATE form.

In Their Adversely.
Persons who had occasion to visit
the county house Wednesday after
noon on turning to the walk leading
to the front entrance to the build
ing were confronted by dazzling
glare that made them almost stag
ger and shade their eyes. The ma
jority Of persons who were subject
to this experience did not realize the
cause. but few others tumbled to
the condition of affairs. Both the
front and rear doors Of the county
building were open. In a cell in
the county jail, directly east of the
hallway in the court house ]. A.
Shaw and Harry Chaplin, late of
Deadwood, who are serving time for
stealing from their tellow workmen,
are confined. The men were having
considerable fun at the expense of
persons entering the county build
ing. Holding mirror about IL in
ches in diameter so that the sun
shown upon it, they threw blind
ing light down the hall and into the
faces of persons coming up the walk
and entering the court mouse. Shaw
and Chaplin do not seem to be the
least worried about their predica-
ment. They spent the time We'd
nesday in playing with the mirror,
in singing and in hailing persons
who happened to be near. They
begged tobacco and matches and
then invited the visitors to come
back again. "Let them have any
enjoyment they can get out of their
confinement" said Sheriff Hewett,
and he added, "It's better to enjoy
oneself in such conditions than to
nope around" The employees
about the court house are convinced
that the two prisoners are good
singers and that a little choir prac-
tice would fit them both for some-
thing better.

Action is Frustrated.

Washington, May 25.-The atti-
tude of the progressive republicans,
favoring income tax amendment, was
probably frustrated today by Bailey's
attempt to effect an agreement with
the finance committee for vote on
the amendment June 10. Some
OF the insurgents were offended be-
cause of the notice served on them
yesterday by Bailey that no agree
ment could be obtained on the tariff
bill as long as Aldrich refused to fix
time to vote on Bailey's income tax
amendment. The supporters OF
Cummins' amendment made it clear
that they desired to continue the
coalition with the democrats, but not
at the expense of surrendering con-
troll of the. income tax fight to the
democrats.

Many of the streets in the resi-

were rounded up in the center so
that the water would flow to cutters
at the side, there would be less mud
following heavy rains. Under pres.

water stand in the streets until they
seep into the earth or are carried
