MAN MAY DIE AS RESULT
OF $4,000 MILL FIRE
He 10 Run Down by Department Sup

Elevator Burns.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Aug. H.
One man was probably fatally. In
jused, another escAped cremation by
a narrow margin and q loss of Sc, 900
IN property was entaiIed when the ele-
yator Of the Valley City Milling COM
pany was practically destroyed by
fire yesterday afternoon.
The flames, originating from COM
bustion under stairway In the ele-
vator, were discovered about o'clock
by one OF the employees. While he
was turning In an alarm, William
Nichols, another employe, attempted
to fight the rapidly spreading flames
with q fire extinguisher while astride
a rafter near the roof. Before he
could make his escape he was hem
med in by the flames. He finally made
his escape by a trap-door in the roof
and climbing down a time-worn iron
ladder on the side Of the building. He
was slightly burned.
F. ]. Myers, clerk, will probably
die from injuries received indirectly
from the fire. He was riding his
bicycle on Canal-st. when the fire de-
partment supply wagon going to the
fire ran him down. His skull was
fractured by contact with the pave
ment and he was hurried to hospi-
tai with a great cash In the rear OF
his head. Tonight he Is lowering be-
tween life and death with chances for
recovery very slim.
Thed river of the supply wagon is
blamed for driving his horse reckless
ly thorugh the heart of the business
district OF the city. At the time he
ran down Myers he was on the wrong
side of the street. After driving a
block from the scene of the accident
the supply wagon collided with and
entirely demolished standing auto
mobile.
At the time the flames broke out
there were 10000 bushels of grain
stored in the elevator. When the fire
spread to the grain bins the chutes
were cut open and the grain ran out
on the ground. Most of the wheat,
oats and corn was practically destroy.

DR.. Crippen Consulting Expert.

DIR. Crippen was one Of the consulting

this institution, in consequence Of certlin
revelations that appeared in the press.
had to cease operations DIR. Crippen. who
was an excellent business man, and who
obviously had a considerable amount OF
money at his command. saw a chance OF
greatly increasing. his capital.
Accordingly. he embarked on other en-
terprises which. for the purposes of this
story. il is unnecessary to specify. But
he had seen Ethers business capabilities,
and he engaged her as his confidential
typist and secretary.
II have taxed my memory to try to as
certain IL there was anything in her life
to. cause me to be suspicious that things
were not as they should be. Her manner
at home was that Of a happy, light-heart-
ed girl.
Sometimes she would be extremely
prim and proper. She would demonstrate
with her sister for staring at people in
the street and yet an hour later would
be playing the part of tomboy herself.
She was a good swimmer. and very fond
of a game at marbles. Her love for her
young brother Sidney. too. was deep and
lasting, and she was never tired of try
ing to make the boy happy.
Now that l have shown that she was
a good, loving and obedient daughter. who
never caused me a moments anxiety,
does any one suspect that she can have
any guilty completely in a crime the de-
tails of which are so revolving that five
continents have shuddered at them?

Harry Whitney Announces His Ar.
rival at Battle Harbor.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. September l.
The first word from Harry Whitney.
who sailed last June on the Boethic, with
Paul Rainey Of Cleveland, for Etah, was
received In a wireless message saying
that his party had reached Battle Har-
Dor, Labrador. en- route for home, and
expected to arrive next week. 1t added
that all were well on board, and that the
party had enjoyed a successful hunting
trip
When the party left Boston June Is.
Capt. Bartlett. who accompanied Peary
on his successful trip to the pole. and
who was in charge of the Whitney ex-
petition. could give no definite informa-
ton as to when they would return. The
date was fixed some time I'm September
or October If the trip were successful
and they did not get caught in the Ice.
There was considerable doubt as to
whether the party would not winter
again in the north. Provision was made
to do so. although Mr.. Whitney and
Capt. Bartlett were not at all anxious
TO winter there. But. according to the
dispatch. the trip has been brought to a
successful conclusion much sooner than
anticipated. .
No mention is made in the message re-
garding the package left by DIR. Cook
with Mr.. Whitney on his former trip.
