Summers. the night cook, who was
on duty at the time of the fire, said
that Haley had warned him against
the danger of fire back of the stove
but as the night cooking was usually
lighter than the day work, the stove
was never heated to a firing point
during his watch. He admitted, how
ever, that a fire was in the stove at
the time of the CONFEDERATION.
Threw a Water Bottle.
Fred Gay. pressman. who took an
an active part waking the guests,
testified that he first smelled the
smoke. and ran down stairs to the
landing. where he threw a water bot
tie at Summers. the cook, who was
in the rear of the dining room and
apparently asleep. Both Haley and
Summers denied Gays story about the
water bottle and the manner of the
alarm, but their stories agreed in all
essential details. They went up
stairs, Gay first. then Summers and
Haley last, as he remained at the
telephone until assured by Central
that the location was understood and
the fire alarm turned in summers
testified that he awakened Stratton,
standing position when he ran to
other rooms. He could not under
stand why Stratton did not escape.
George Duserberry, the guard who
was left in charge of the ruins after
the fire, testified to a circumstance
which is very peculiar. Advertisements
have failed to locate any friends or rel
atives of the Stratton boy: but last
Monday morning. while Dusenberry
was watching the building, a small
sized old man approached and asked:

ed?" Dusenberry answered that it was

Il believe that is the name of one of
the dead men, said Dusenberry The
man then asked to see the proprietor,
and was directed to the hotel where
Campbell was stopping. In few min
utes he returned and said that he could
not find Campbell,
THE best thing you can do.'' said
IDusenberry s'is to see the coroner" He
then gave the stranger directions for
finding DR.. keiths Office, and has not
seen him since. The man did not call
on DR.. Keith. The body of Stratton is
to be given Christian burial by chart
table persons. and the action of the
supposed father is hard to understand.
Barely Had Time to Escape.
Charles Cheidel, an employe at the
Harvey House who roomed at the Cen
trail and occupied room 19, says that he
was awakened by either Haley or Sum-
mers vino were shouting Fire and
kicking OF doors. He tried to turn on
the light, but it failed, and he ran out
OF his room and down the stairway just
in time 10 escape. He said that he had
been rooming at the Central for some
time and was familiar with the halls
and stairway, and stated further that
had he been a stranger, there would
have been little chance for escape in
the time left to him. The smoke was
dense, and the lights were out

Chicago. April 29.-WHEAT-It looks
as if there might be soft spot In the
market where wheat can be bought to
advantage this morning. What con-
Germs the trade here is the domestic
situation and there is nothing weak
about that. Outside millers took 5000
bushels here yesterday. one lot of No.
red winter selling at $1.43 on board
cars to go to Ohio millers. q cents over
May at the time the sale was made.
Cash wheat is strong and in big de-
mand in all markets stock centers are
decreasing. cold weather west and
northwest is bad for the backward win
ter wheat plant and delaying spring
wheat seeding. We favor the buying
side of the new crop months on all de-
pressions.
CORN-Receipts are small and stocks
light but the country can quickly rem
edy all this by offering a few million
bushels of corn after planting season.
In the meantime, we think holders OF
high priced corn will do well to take
profits on the hard spots and if corn
begins to move freely the shorts sell
fng side is likely to prove profitable.
OATS-It looks now like about the
same acreage as last year in oats after
all the talk of 80 days ago about the
enormous increase area. BelieVe
the situation Is such that the big hold
ers of May oats can put the price to
so cents IL they try but on strong swells
the later months may prove a profit
able sale as the market IS sure to fol-
low corn.-Logan & Bryan.

AUTO FALLS INTO RIVER
Philadelphia Press

Voo
On the last of the thirty-two dashes
into which the route had been divid-
ed at Z o'clock last evening, when the
Studebaker e. M. F. car carrying the
courier was rushing along a road
following the bank of the SnoQualmie
river, about four miles west of North
Bend, the big machine slipped from
the road, crashed through a fence,
rolled down steep embankment and,
turning over completely three times,
leaped into the river.
Kingston and Hugo Dotzer, the
driver, were thrown from their seats
as the auto made its first plunge, and
crawled dripping with water, to the
bank. Peterson was hurled fully
twenty-five feet into the stream, but
was unhurt and swan to shore. The
machine sank in twenty feet OF water
The good luck which generally at
tended the courier did not completely
forsake him at this juncture.

EDITOR BLUMER SCORES

After a protracted fight with the
"blind pigs" of his village, Editor
Blumer of the Teton Valley News
succeeded in getting rid Of the crit
tiers. Mr.. Blumer very properly had
all the wires laid for the arrest and
punishment of the offending parties,
but the local officers got cold feet
and permitted the criminals to 90
clear If they would leave the country.
They left, and Mr.. Blumer is indign-
ant. In our opinion, the officers will
find that in enforcing the prohibition
law in this county In the years to
come they will have to forget mercy
and give stiff jail sentences.
If we remember rightly, all the
liquor dealers in the county promis-
ed at the time of the crusade two
years ago that they would be good
in the future and endeavor to make
a fact that fiction of well regu-
lated saloon. A. few of them have
Obeyed the law, but most Of them
not only forgot the terms Of their
promise and why they gave 1t, but
forgot the very existence of the agree
ment.
The officers will have plenty OF
work under the new enactment, and
will find that mercy and compro-
misses will not tighten their labors.

The Idaho Falls Post in reviewing
what we said last week about people
signing a petition to give criminal
his liberty says:
.And the Republican voices plain
truth therein. While many will be
found who will attach their names to
a petition for the liberation OF the
embezzler. and natural crock, they
are making one Of those bad bulls
characteristic OF weakened human
ity, any time they grant further elem
ency. Those who would make his
family the excuse for giving him fur
Their freedom should call the instance
to mind that mans first duty Il
toward his family. II the skunk hasnN
shown any consideration for his fam.
lily there is little reason why hi
friends should encourage him In hi
crookedness. His family Is benefit
ted with him out Of the way While
he has his liberty he is a menace t.
his own home.

NO RACE SUICIDE

Logan Journal
There was a good joke on Sam
Rich at the present big reunion of
the Rich family in honor of it's foun-
der, Apostle G. G, Rich, held over in
Paris during three days of last week.
Sam had been delegated as head of
the genealogical bureau and had at
tended to his duties well; but while
he might be correct as to ancestors,
he fell down lamentably on the pos
terity. of that great man, as is shown
by the sequel Taking babe from
its mothers arms, he announced 1t as
the latest. and 345th descendant of
Charles G. Rich, and was at once call
ed down, as six younger Rich babies
were at once introduced, three of
whom were blessed before the meet
ing terminated. No race suicide in
the Rich family.

Mrs. Smith is not stranger to

this rapidly growing city an oppor-
tunity for a business of this kind
and purchased AMI fitted up one Of the
store buildings in the White block.
Her line will be complete in every

soon, and that the one bearing the
label Of district Judge hovers near
G. F. Hansbrough, Harry Holden, ],

and B. ]. Briggs, who Is always ready
and willing.
We doubt II any of the above nam
ed gentlemen except Mr. Briggs has
made up his mind that he wants to
enter the race for judge next summer
not that 1t would be hard for any Of
them to win, but lawyer with 8
good practice can Ill afford to give i
up to go on the bench. Mr.. Briggs
has long cherished the worthy ambit
ion to be judge of this district, bu
the people don't want him, and in thu
mean time he has been making goo!
at other things.
