cracker Into Bunch Of Fireworks,
100000 Worth of Property
Being Destroyed.

Nampa. Ida.-A fire which was
started by a Greek, WHO threw
lighted firecracker into a bunch of
fireworks in cigar store, causing an
explosion, swept the entire business
and shipping district of Nampa Sat.
urday, and was not gotten under
control until nearly midnight, after
5000, 900 damage had been done. Near
~ all of the principal buildings, bust
ness houses, hotels and banks in the
city were burned. The total insur-
ance on destroyed property is esti-
mated at 100000, so that the loss
amounts to about SO per cent, or $780,
600 The fire started about 2:3O
o'clock in the afternoon and spread
quickly through the business district.
The entire block between Twelfth
and Thirteenth avenues, and the front
portion of First street, fell prey to
the flames. Otherwise the loss would
have been far greater
Only the prompt arrival of the fire
apparatus from Boise and Caldwell
saved the residence district. The Boise
department made the run of twenty
miles on a special train in eighteen
minutes
The Grand hotel, Council hotel and
Alameda hotel were burned to the
ground The magnificent Dewey no
tel, one of the finest structures i'll the
northwest, was saved after terrific
battle by the firemen, who displayed
great courage in conquering the
flames.
The center of the fire was the
Bank of Nampa, where the flames
seemed to concentrate. The heat here
was so intense as to drive the fire
men back again and again, but the
knowledge that great deposits of coir
and currency were endangered drove
them to return to the attack. The
bank building was reduced to ashes
but the vaults proved fireproof ant
the contents were not injured.
Thirty-two stores and business
houses between Twelfth and 1nl-
teenth avenues, and others facing
First street, were totally destroyed
and the fire ragged so fiercely that i
was impossible to save any of the
goods The Oregon Short Line depo
was badly scorched.

cities, laid waste many villages in

relatively unchanged. She was
standing at the door when the shock
occurred and rushed inside to save
her child. Before she could escape
from the room the second shock threw

and child under the stairs.

VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCES.
Laborer Would Probably Have Been
Convicted Of Murder, But for
Confession.

San Francisco-James Edward Cum
ningham, laborer, has confessed to
the murder of Miss Caroline Brasch,
cashier for Gray Brothers Construc-
ton company, who was shot and
killed in the company's offices June
80. Cunning ham surrendered himself
because another man was under ar
rest, charged with the crime.
The original theory as to the mo-
tive for the murder is borne out by
the confession of Cunningham, but
the police, in the arrest of J. Novakr
another laborer, who had been en-
ployed. by Gray Brothers, We're en-
deavoring to fasten the crime on an
innocent man, who CHANGED to be the
victim of circumstances almost un
paralleled.
