NEGRO Who Attacks Woman on Street
Fires at Pursuers.

Chicago, Jan. 6.--Ffring at a crowd
VINO pursued him after he had attack
ed a woman at North Paulina and
west Lake streets last night, Horace
Stewart, a negro, made spectacular
fight of several blocks, and was final
ly shot twice by policeman and then
brought to bay on the roof of a barn at
oakley and Park avenues.
Stewart visited the home of Maud
70 McCline, 1925 Fulton street. and is
said TO have become Jealous when he
heard that she had gone out with an
other man. He returned to his room
and is said to have gone back to the
McCline nome with a revolver. When
he did not see his sweetheart he wait
ed at corner, and when he saw her
walking along the street he upbraided
her and knocked iler down three times.
The woman's screams attracted a
crowd and several men started In pur-
suit of Stewart. The negro turned and
fired several shots at his pursuers.
He carried a banjo case and the po-
licen1an thought he was a thief. When
he called on the negro TO stop he was
made the target for bullet. but he
was not hit and returned the fire.
The negro ran into an alley and when

TODAY FOR TELEPHONE OFF,
ctAL-FINALLY SET RIGHT,

An amusing incident occurred at
the Northern Pacific passenger sta
ton today. The Forum reporter was
standing In the waiting room when a
woman rushed up to the ticket win
dow and asked the agent how she
could get certain person over the
telephone.
In an obliging manner he showed
her the telephone In the waiting room
and told her to call the chief operator
and get the number o. the party she
wished to speak to. He was very busy
selling tickets at the time and paid no
further attention to the woman and
was surprised when in about ten min
utes she returned and wanted to know
where the Office of the chief operator
was The fact that she had chased
all through and around the depot look
ing for that executives office.
She was set right and was soon in
interested conversation with the party
she was waiting to talk with.

MISLEADING FACTS

In an article which appeared In this
mornings News purported to have been
written by r. A. Kellogg, secretary of
the Western Pine Manufacturers asso-
citation of Spokane, Wash. the follow
ing statements were made: THAT the
lumber mills of the Inland Empire,
washington oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana) cut 1,250,0O0,000 feet of timber
during 1909. That the total stumpage
in the Inland Empire is estimated at
$50, 600 100000 feet That this timber
will last more than 2T5 years at the
present rate of cutting"
The above statements are mislead-
ing because they tend to convey the
impression that the inland empire Is
the great source of supply for the pres
ent lumber demand. This is not the
case, for the timber. on the Pacific coast
has, comparatively speaking, hardly
been touched. The northeastern, south
ern and middle states being the chief
source of supply. While the mills of
the inland empire cut during 1909,
4, 25o, 00O, 900 feet Of timber, the total
cut in the United States during that
year was 5b,o00,0O0, 900 feet, or more
than $4,000 acres every working day.
However the supply In these states
is almost exhausted and the time OF
ascendancy Of the Pacific states is rap
idly approaching. The u. s. depart
ment of agriculture reports that the
total stumpage on the Pacific coast is
$50, 0oO, 100000 feet or so per cent of
the standing timber on the continent,
and in ten years the timber remaining
on the Pacific coast win be practically
the only available supply. II, as the u.
s. department of agriculture reports,
the total amount of standing timber
on the continent Is only 100000, 00O,-

independent Elevator at souris, N. o.,
Destroyed by Fire.

Souris, N. D., Jan. 6.--Inslfrance adj
justers are doing their part of the
work incident to the total loss of the
Emil Nelson grain elevator which
burned 10 the ground at an early hour
on Saturday morning,
The source of the vre has not been
ascertained and it is thought that 1t
must have started from the coal stove
in the Office. An alarm was turned
in at 1890 and by the time the fire
lighting apparatus was at the scene the
elevator was all ablaze and efforts to
save IL useless. The firemen turned
their attention to saving the coal sheds
adjoining the buildings on the west and
succeeded in their efforts, although
several times a stubborn blaze started.
The sheds contained about seventy
tons of coal.
The wind at the time of the fire was
from the west and the coal sheds of
the Imperial Elevator Co. were ignited
and in spite of efforts to save them,
were totally consumed, about fifty
tons of coal going up in smoke.
Nelson's elevator was valued at ST.
900 with insurance to the abount of
$4,000. The building contained about
500 bushels of wheat which was fully
insured.
