PETITION is WITHDRAWN
After Right to Install Frame Front
on Fourth Avenue Had Been
Denied by Committee.

Henry Tappendorf, the contractor,
has been denied permission by the
city council to erect a brick factory
building, with a frame front, on his
property at 1S16-1S20 Fourth avenue.
An adverse report on the request was
returned to the council at its meeting
of last evening by the fire and light
committee and the aldermen of the
Fourth ward. Accompanying the re-
port was data secured upon request
ed investigation by City Engineer Wal
lace Treichler showing that the thick
ness of the brick walls did not conform
to the ordinance requirements. Be
fore the council took vote upon the
report of the committee, ]. L. Haas, as
attorney for Mr.. Tappendorf, withdrew
the petition for a permit. incidentally
Mr.. Haas took occasion to critictse
those who had been busying themselves
in seeking to defeat what he termed
a creditable improvement. For 20
years, Mr.. Haas said, the planning mill
work had been carried on in a frame
building, and there was no objection
raised by the owners of the adjoining
property.

with his new building in open defiance
of the city ordinances. The tone of

there was not interference by the city

that the permit having been withdrawn
the matter was no longer before the

the city authorities to take cognizance
of any violation that may appear and

DEATH IN FOREST FIRE
Caused by Setting Fire to Slashing
in Stevens County.

A forest fire started by w. A.
Trowbridge, bookkeeper for the
Lane & Bronson Sawmill company,
and two neighbors. Messrs. Nc
Nitt and Nichols, caused two
deaths near Millville in Stevens
county, Wash, on July ~. The
cabin Of Miss Pearl Brewer, a
school teacher and homesteader,
was in the path Of the flames and
was consumed. Paths Of escape
were shut or and Miss Brewer and
l.er 9 months old neice, perished
in the cabin.
Trowbridge, with McNitt and
Nichols, set the fire Sunday to
burn some slashings. A gale
sprang up and swept the fire into
the woods and up the mountain
side covered with heavy thickets
OF fir and tamarack. The woods
all about the doomed cabin we're
surrounded before the inmates
could escape. Rescuers arrived
within 400 yards of the house and
saw MISS Brewer and the child in
a clearing. They heard her cries
but could not reach her. As
the flames drew in about the clear
ing. the two we're seen to enter the
cabin for short respite. A few
minutes later the cabin burst into
flames but the fire and smoke still
held the rescue party back, and
when, at nightfall, the nimes be-
came subdued, nothing but ashes
marked the spot where the cabin
stood.
Trowbridgc and his two neigh
bors were taken into custody,
pending investigation.
