good playing added 70 the interest in the

HEERMANS TELLS STORY
Owner of Burned Hoquiam Hotel Re.
turns and Gives Out In
terveW

HOQUIAM, July 2S.-Mr. and Mrs.
Harry c. Heermans returned Tues
day from visit in the east which
was considerably shortened by the
news of the destruction of the hotel,
which reached them while at Duluth.
Mr.. Heermans at once made a
thorough investigation of the fire
and it's causes and declares that au-
thentic information causes the belief
that the blaze originated in the base
ment under the dining room which
had been partitioned off for living
rooms. 1t spread rapidly until the
entire building was wrapped in
flames. "All occupants of the build
ing escaped except two" said Mr.
Heermans, land there were bent on
returning to their rooms after treas
ures after chance to escape had
been offered them"
Mr.. Heermans then told how the
building was first constructed and OF
the struggles of the young town of
HOquiam with less than 1000 souls to
provide a hotel which should cost
about $4,000 but which finally cost
without it's furnishings about $4,000.
Stock subscriptions to the amount of
$4,000 were raised among the citi-
zens of Hoquiam but the boom came
before the building was completed
and it's builders caught the spirit of
the times and increased the cost max
ing the building larger and more pre-
tentious, until the enormous cost not
ed above had been reached The
Northwestern Lumber company fnail-
ced the deal, and then asked that the
company be remunerated for the
amount it had spent over and above
the fund subscribed In the negotia-
tons Heermans became involved and
was compelled to put up his note to
pay $20,500. He says he has been
paying this off at the rate of $1,000
per year and per cent interest and
that he still has $1,000 to pay. The
destruction of the building cuts off
the possibility of receiving the back
money paid for the property, accord
ing to Mr.. Heermans. who declares
that he had expected to some day get
his money out of it had the building
remained
Mr.. Heermans and family, who
lived in the building, where they had
fitted up elegant apartments lost
everything which included the accu-
mulated treasures of many years.

KILLED AT CROSSING
Samuel Tockerton Meets Death on
Northern Pacific Railway Track
Near Montesano

MONTESANO, July ~ Samuel
TockertOn was instantly killed and
Joseph Zimmerman seriously injured
last Monday morning at the Arland
railroad crossing about a mile east
of this city on the Northern Pacific
tracks, when a wagon containing the
two men was run down by a fast
west bound freight. Both men are
natives of Switzerland.
Tockerton and Zimmerman were
mlkmen in the employ Of Oscar Smith
a dairyman and were driving milk
wagon along the county road. APP
preaching the tracks both were en-
gagged in conversation and did not
notice the approach of the train and
drove on to the tracks directly in
front of the engine. 1t is said that
the crossing in question is obscured
by trees and underground making it
impossible to observe the approach
of a train. Even at that, however,
people in another conveyance, who
were eye-witnesses of the accident,
heard the approach of the train and
stopped in safety
1t is stated that suits are liable
to follow the accident. Coroner
Smits has decided that no inquest will
be held.

STANDS BY HUSBAND

HOQUIAM, July 2S.-Mrs. G. r.
Schwabe, although separated from
her husband believes in his innocence
and is greatly worried at the suspic-
ion that has been cast toward him
in connection with the destruction
of the Hotel Hoquam. For several
days the police kept Schwabe under
servillance and it was openly charged
that he might have been implicated
in the burning of the hotel. He was
arrested but subsequently released
and has since disappeared. Some are
of the opinion that he has committed
suicide while others believe that he
is in Portland. 1t is said that his
suit case, which he took from his
apartments in the Hoquiam hotel, the
day before the f:e, following an al
legged quarrel with his wife who had
begun divorce proceedings against
him. is still lat the New York hotel
unclaimed.
