believed here today that another
body repCses in the bottom of the
well on the deserted Crinklaw
ranch.
Late last night newspapermen
dragged the bottom of the we'll
with improvised hooks and
brought to the surface a large
white object which resembled a
body. Owing to the darkness, it
was impossible to ascertain posi-
lively whether it was another
victim.
The police are working on the
theory that the body of a MUIR

Monday may be that of former

Immense Structure.


The burned warehouse was 800
feet long and divided in two Sec
tons. Hay was stored in IT'S
feet of the building. and grain
stuffs in 125 feet. Included in
the latter section was a hay press
and baler, and a feed mill, all
destroyed.
Will BE Rebuilt.
Mr.. Stevens said this morning
that he expected to rebuild at
once as he is rushed with orders
and must have the storage room
as soon as he can possibly secure
it. The warehouse was frame
structure, covered with corrugat-
ed iron.
''The worst feature of the fire
Is that the burned stock cannot
be replaced" said Mr.. Stevens
this morning. 81 have contract
ed to deliver thousands of tons of
hay and grain which 1 will not b,
able to secure. A shipment of
$50 tons of hay is scheduled for
Manila this week and we must fill
the order at a great loss"
Firemen state that this Is the
fourth fire on the tideflats within
the past few months which has
been discovered from the offica
of the fire chief before the alarm
was turnd In.
Incendiarism Evident.
The officials of John B. Ste
vens & Co. are at a loss to ex-
plain the cause of the fire, but
from their attitude 1t is evident
that incendiarism is strongly sus-
pected. 1t is known that enc
mics of the. firm have threatened
the lives of officials for fancied
grievances against the company,
and it is possible that clue will
be discovered from this source.

and an advance of 60 cents a
day in their wages, together with
overtime. The managers say they
offered an increase of 20 cents a
day of 10 hours on the Great
Northern west of Havre, Mont.
and on the Northern Pacific west
of Billings. They declare the
switchmen were given a 10 per
cent raise in 1906.

poorer paid than any other class
of railway men and get less than

the fire, the intense heat prevent
ing the need of heavy clothing.
First Seen BY Fireman.
The blaze was first discovered
from the headquarters of the fire
department at Ninth and A
streets. Fireman F. Hamre, on
the night shift at the telephone
switchboard, saw the blaze. aud
turned in the alarm. A moment
later Night Waterman John King,
of the John B. Stevens company,
telephoned an alarm. Three en-
gines were already on their way
to the scene of the conflagratiol /.
King had just made the rounds
of the company's property and
reported at the office at 5 a. m.
that everything was o. X. After
sweeping out the office he stepped
outdoors to discover the ware
house a mass of flame. The fire
originated near the middle Of the
structure and in few SECONDS
had spread over the whole roof.
How it started is mystery, but
It is supposed to have been smold-
ering in the closely packed hay
for some time before 1t burst into
flame.
Stevens Sees IL Burn.
President John B. tSevens was
one of the first arrivals on the
scene and stood by stoically as he
watched thousands of dollars
worth of property go up in smoke.
eff Tacoma had fire tug this
would never had occurred" was
his repeated comment. The ware
house was built over the water
and tug could have easily swung
up to the blaze at it's inception
and quenched the flame. AS it
is, the nearest hydrant is 800
yards away, at the end of the
Eleventh street bridge, and the
next one no nearer than the ola
starch factory. The third was so
far distant that the fire depart
ment was unable to secure enough
hose to put 1t in use.
Prevent Spread.
Under the circumstances the
best the department could do was
to play two streams on the blaze
and prevent it's spread to the ad-
Joining warehouse of p. j. Fran

unchanged. The stock of flour,
wheat and bran was badly soaked
with water, however, and the loss
