CUMBERLAND, B. c., Jan. 81.
One Of the most disastrous fires
in the history of this town, result
ing In a loss. of at least one life,
and destroying property valued at
$4,000, occurred here Tuesday
night on Dunsmuir av., in the
heart of the business section of
the town.
Just before midnight smoke was
seen Issuing from boarding
house. James Scott, in whose
room the fire started, was killed.
Another inmate of the boarding
house, George Reid, was seriously
burned, and was rescued with
great difficulty by the heroic eff
forts of one of the firemen.
Some others suffered slight in
juries. Owing to the cold snap
and the water dam freezing over
the water supply was not good,
and in order to get better pres
sure the electric light plant was
shut down. By hard work the
firemen, assisted by the citizens,
prevented the fire from crossing
the street, in which case the whole
business section would have been
dstroyed.

Another Attempt On Life
of Ruler Frustrated
More Than 100
Arrested.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 81.
Another attempt to assassinate
the sultan has just been frustrat-
ed through the miscarriage of a
letter written by the conspirators
and the guard at the rulers palace
has been doubled.
There is no doubt here that the
plot against the sultan's life would
have been successful If the letter
addressed to a conspirator had
not fallen into the hands of the
Young Turks.
The plot involved 10000 reac-
tionaries, whose object wins to
overthrow the sultan and thereby
dissolve the parliament and an
null the constitution.
1t is reported that the death
plot was also directed against the
president of the chamber of depu,
ties. More than 100 arrests have
been made.

and walked quietly ahead. In a
few moments he had the same fur
tive feeling that malignant eye
was on him. Again turning, he
saw the cougar. Again the ami
NAL skunk away, but persisted in
following as Jones went ahead.
1t logged his tracks to within a
few feet Of his cabin. Stepping
inside Jones picked up his rife
and shot the ANIMAL from his
doorstep. That was about 8 a. m.
Starting out with his gun he over
hauled and killed three wild cats
and was back at his home by 10
a. m. All of the skins were
brought by Jones to Fred Ed
wards, the local taxidermist.
The only hunting in this vicin-
ity approaching Jones' feat was a
record of four cougars killed in
about five minutes by Thomas
Northover fifteen years ago in a
grove of timber on the prairie
south of Tacoma.
Fred Edwards says that Jones
has done the state q big service
in the way of game preservation
by his exploit. Edwards, who has
hunted great deal and given the
subject investigation, says the
average cougar roaming the Puget
Sound forests kills a deer for ev-
cry week in the year, besides
grouse, pheasants, quail, rabbits
and other smaller animals. Wild
cats make 1t a business, Edwards
says, to hunt down grouse and
pheasants.
And as the lynx are always fat
when killed or trapped" said he,
they must find plenty of these
birds. OF course they also eat
rabbits, wood mice, the same as do
the cougars"
