New York, August 25.-The third day of
the grand circuit meeting at the Empire

ing made
General H., the bay stallion by Com
bineer, won the 200 class trot in straight
heats and Teasel and Alice Roosevelt
divided second and third money after two
close finishes.
The Hungarian stallion, Willy. driven by
H. A. Walkerson won both heats and
first money in the 2:13 class trotting to
wagon in fautless style with Direct Tone
driven by James Butler, the owner of the
track, stepping into second place.
The first split heats of the meeting oc-
cured in the Beason stakes for PAGERS,
sos class Baron Whips won the first
and Ess Fl. Kay the second Only the
winners of heats were allowed to go in the
third heat and while the starter did not
give them the word, the two flew away,
neither driver evidently having heard the
bell. Ess H. Kay finished first and after
some discussion 1t was mutually agreed
that Ess H. Kay got the money.
Although scheduled for five days the
meeting will end tomorrow with the Ma
tfon Futurity stakes of $4,000 for Swear

dynamite and supplies were rushed yes
terday to Jamestown, on the Columbia
and Puget Sound railroad, about sc
miles east of Seattle, in a desperate
effort to check what is considered the
worst forest fire that has yet broken
out in western Washington. d. p.
Simons, Jr., chief fire warden, sent ev-
cry man at his disposal. bad fire is
burning in Kitsap county, about 21a
miles south of Port Gamble. 1t. is

sence of news is very discouraging, but
the leaders are slxilful and experienced
and hope has not been abandoned.

Missoula, Mont, August 25.-Early re-
ports from the fire districts today were
hopeful and at the forestry office the
assurance was given that it was safe for
refugees to return to their homes along
the Couer DAlene line of the Northern
Pacific and on the Puget Sound rail-
way.
The exodus of refugees frc:n the city
continues, and nightfall will probably find
Missoula practically deserted by those
earlier in the week who sought safety
here. Difficulty. however, Is encountered
in reaching points farther west on the
Northern Pacific than Saltese and AL
berton on the Puget Sound, the tracks
about this place being impossible.
The Puget Sound railway officials re-
port the situation practically unchanged
A sweeping call has been issued for men
and equipment to work on line rebuilding.
Northern Pacific officials report the
loss of two stations on the Couer D'Alene
branch, Deborgia and Lookout.
Taft township was destroyed. The sta
ton at Tuscore. on the main line, also
fell before the flames.
Experts who have seen much of the
damage wrought on the line OF the Puget
Sound estimate the loss to the company
at between 100000 and $3,000,000.
Many Men Are Missing
Spokane, Wash. August 25.-There are
1856 men in the two forest ranger parties
now missing in the country at the head
water of the st, Joe river. Eighty-five
men are in the party headed by Joseph
H. Hahn, and the expedition under F. c..
Fearn contains 100 men.
Deputy Rangers Fisher and Holscomb
have left Wallace at the head of re-
lief expeditions to the st. Joe. They
will try to penetrate the forest by way Of
the Clear Water divide, carrying medi-
clnes and condensed rations.
A special from wallace says:
Forest Supervisor Weigle said that
there were no other large parties than
that of Hahn and Fearn missing in the
Couer D'Alepe forest, although there
might be loss Of life In isolated; groups.

TWO MORE SALES
FOR ASSOCIATION
WILL DISPOSE OF ALL THE 1909
CROP AT WESTERN Dis
TRICr WAREHOUSE.

A record has Just been established
by the local western district ware
house in the small amount of to-
bacco on hand for this time of the
year. About 200 hogsheads, of which
the Planters Protective association
owns about 100. is on hand and II is
believed that two more sales will
dispose of the entire 1909 crop. The
sales this year have been remark
able and have averaged over 500
hogsheads per sale. The number
now on hand owned by the associa-
ton is ready for sale and there re-
mains a large number of hogsheads
that are coming from Galloway
county. Much rivalry has existed
between buyers and last years crop
has sold like " cakes. The asso-
citation is well pleased with the re-
suits. Next Thursday another regu-
lar sale will be held and another
two weeks hence. when IT is expect
ed to wind up the years business.
IL is likely that the Western District
Warehouse company will hold a pub
lie auction sale next Thursday, fol-
lowing the association sales.

THREAT TO SUE
MADE BY LEE BELLS ATTORNEY
AGAINST CITY.
Client Dismissed In Ordinance Court.
When Drain Question Is
Settled.

Following the dismissal of his
case by a jury in police court this
morning, Lee Bell, colored, through
his attorney NJ. E. Gilbert, threatens
suit against the city of Paducah for
damages he claims has resulted to
his property, because of a public
drain through his property at Ninth
and Caldwell streets.
A few months ago the board OF
public works summoned Bell to APP
pear before 1t and state why he re-
fused to remedy the conditions. A
board drain that had been built some
times ago before Bell bought the
property, had rotted away and the
city threatened to take action against
him If he refused to amend eondi-
tons. Bell claimed he was not able
to make the improvement.
A few days ago Street Inspector
Ernest Bell swore out a warrant
against him, charging him with OBJ
structing the drain. The defendant
employed Attorney Gilbert, who
asked for a jury this morning. Mr.
Gilbert claims that from the evidence
submitted this morning Bell has
grounds for action against the city.
Mr.. Gilbert says the city Is liable
because it is claimed that serious
damage was done to his property by
the drain before its obstruction.
Upon agreement with C. E. Jen-
nings, who formerly owned the prop
erty, the warrant was dismissed this
morning. Mr.. Jennings will con-
struct a tile drain that will allow the
water to flow through unobstrueted.
