A NEW CLAIMANT
FOR HONOR
MRS. c. N. BRADFORD, FORMER
LIZ MISS lone HICKMAN, BORN
26, 1884.

Francis Wilson and Philip Rose
have still further opposition to their
claims of being the first white chill
dren born in the Wenatchee valley
Mrs c. n. Bradford. formerly Miss
lone Rickman, now lays claim to that
honor. The following letter was re-
ceived today by the Daily World
from a Cashmere subscriber:
"The World of today published an
article in regard to the first white
child born in the Wenatchee valley
First, Mr.. Wilson claims the honors,
then Mr.. Rose. The article said Mr.
Rose was born in 1890. Mrs. C. N.
Bradford, formerly Miss lone Rick
man, was born one mile west of We
natchee at the Hickman home on
April 26, 1884. That beats Mr.. Rose
almost six years"
While Mrs. C.. n. Bradford lays
claim to the honor of being the first
white child born in the valley, in
1884, Forestal Nolop is said to right
fully have the honor of being the
first white boy born in the valley
This was in the spring of 1885, and
the birth was in a house near the
present site of the courthouse. The
same correspondent states that the
Wilson boy may have been the first
white child born in the incorporated
city in 1892, but not in the valley.

view of the fact that Yakima is lay
ing great claims to securing the

FIVE MEN P[RISn N BARN FIRE
LARGE LIVERY BARN IN HEART
OF DULUTH BURNS.
confiaaratlon Set by Brazier's Torch
Lose 10 Near $4,000.

Duluth, Mimi, June 21.-The Board
Of Trade livery barn on West First
street, near the government building,
was gutted by fire Saturday after
eoon about 4:3O, and five men per-
ished and about $4,000 worth OF
property was destroyed.
There were 165 horses In the barn
at the time of the fire, and nearly 100
were burned to death.
The fire originated from a brazier's
torch, in the rear on the First street
floor. The blacksmith was engaged
at brazing a wheel on hack, and the
fire was communicated to the floor.
The fire was confined to small space
and Captain James Sullivan, the pro-
pnetor of the livery, and one or two
others, started to put the fire out. but
it spread with marvellous rapidity.
The battle of the five men to save
the dumb beasts in their keeping,
many of them fine horses, and their
subsequent fight to save themselves
when they realized, too. late, that they
must save themselves, can only be
guessed. That they at last were driv-
en- forward by the smoke is evident,
for they were all found near the foot
Of the schute. 1t appears they tried
to get up that way instead of into the
alley.
The building was owned by Barrett
& Zimmerman, of St. Paul, and they
and Captain Sullivan owned the
horses and vehicles. The building
cost 100000 and was insured for prac-
tically it's whole value. The horses
and rigs were owned by Captain Sui
livan and Barrett & Zimmerman. and
the insurance on them was $4,000.
