INQUIRY CONCERNING
W00DRUFF'S KILLkARE

Albany. N. T., Aug. 25.-It has been
learned here that the commissioners
appointed by Governor Hughes to in
vesttgate the department of forest, fish
and game, of which ]. s. Whipple Is
commission mel, have also been getting
information of how former Lieutenant
Governor Timothy L. Woodruff got
title to his handsome estate in the
A~dirondacks known as Camp Killkare.
Mr.. Woodruf's land embraces 1000
acres in the heart of the Adirondacks
and includes a beautiful lake. In ear
lier Investigations it was frequently
rumored that Mr.. Woodruff got this
large tract containing some Of the fin
est timber in the mountains for moth
ing. The records show that he paid
$4,000 for the tract. The records also
shluw that he did not purchase the
land until the state had bought all of
the surrounding land at a cost of $167,-
900. AT the time he bought the land,
which is now known as Camp Kill
kare, Mr., Woodruff was president of
the forest reserve board.
Camp Killkare is completely sur
rounded by state land, which insures
the former lieutenant governor against
any intrusion.

MANY STILL MISSING

Spokane. Wash. Aug. 25.-One hun
bred and fourteen United States forest
rangers lost their lives fighting the de
vouring forest fires In Idaho alone.
Seventy-four rangers are missing there.
Such is the statement issued by
United States Forest Supervisor J. r.

tainty is established that many brave
men have persisted In the sweeping
confiagration. Damage to property Is
believed to be fully $500, 100000.

ers met their fate in these localities:
At Grand Forks, 30; Boulder Creek,
1; Avery, II; Big Creek, 10; Placer
Creek, 6; Pine Creek, 9; Setser Greek,
20; Bullion Mine. 8; Rock Greek, %.
So the list of dead and missing ran
gers in the Occur d'Alene national for
est alone numbers 1874 now.
AS further reports come in 1t seems
certain that more than 200 persons
have persisted.
Superintendent Weigie expressed
dread for the safety of Ranger Joseph
B. Hahn and seventy-four men who
were surrounded by fire Saturday night
In the forest on the Big Fork of the
Occur dAlene river, lear where an

Crime Remains UnsoIved.


Kingston, N. Y, Aug. 25.-The brick
yard section along the Hudson river
from this city to Saugerties, a distance
Of twelve miles, Is agitated over the
battling mystery surrounding the death
of Peter Fabian, a four-year-old son Of
Frank Fabian.
The father is an italian employed on
the yard of the Empire Brick company
at Porterville, near Glasco, several
miles north of this city. The boy,
Peter, was found to be missing on Fri
day afternoon last and since that time
100 or more Italians, friends of the
father, have been searching the woods,
the barns, sheds and outbuildings for
the boy. Some of the searchers at
last saw a ting hand sticking up out
of a building In the yard of a neigh
Dor of the Fabians. Assistance was
called and Italians overturned the
building and o a body wes pulled
out which turned out to be that of the
missing boy.
DIR. Montgomery of Saugerties after
making an examination said the boy
had been dead not yer twenty-four
hours.
There were cuts as If made with a
knife on the body of the child and
finger nail marks ON hts neck. His
blaekened face indicated that he had
been strangied to death.
When no trace had been found of
Peter from Friday until Sunday the
father went to New York to consult
an italian ~clairvoyant who, after being
told of the missing boy, said the child
would return within two or three days.
Frank Fabian told of the c~lairyoyant's
predictions to the Porterville Italians
when he returned Monday, but the
search was continued until the body
was found.
The friends of the Fabians say there
is now no doubt that the boy was
kidnapped and that it was the work of
some Italian who, being superstitious,
believed the prophecy of the elairvoy-
ant and feared that he would be found
with the boy. In order to prevent
discovery the kidnaper Is supposed
TO have strangled and cut the little
fellow. o.

THE sTEEPLE JACK
He Must Conquer Many Difficulties In
His Dangerous Work.

The successful steeple jack must
possess determination, perseverance
and ingenuity. He must solve many
practical problem in hosting great
bodies aloft. He must know how to
fasten n hook over the summit of a
skyscraping chimney He must have
the nerve to paint a steeple that sways
like pendulum at the slender top He
must be able to tear down, build up,
gild, paint, place electric wires and do
many another task that would be
difficult enough on the solid earth.
There are many ways of getting up
on Il steeple, and when all others fail
the man will tie a rope around 1t and
then. with a coil on his back, walk
round and round 1t until the entire
steeple is covered with rope, and in
such case he has probably been round
1t fully 300 times.
But a steeple is not the most diff.
cult height to climb. Straight, tall
chimneys are the hardest of all There
man has to work with might and
main to lift himself inch by inch from
the ground to the top. Sometimes the
top is 300 feet high. When 1t is reach.
ed hook Is placed over the edge.
pulley Is made fast, the swinging chair
is hauled up and work begins.
When the chair is near the top IL Is
easier to work, because the ropes ake
short, but when they lengthen as the
ground Is approached there is q ten
dency to swing, and the wind gives
impetus.
The steeple jacks safety depends
upon the hook, and until he has raised
himself almost to the top 1t Is impos-
sibe for him to see whether or net the
hook has been properly adjusted.
More than once a steeple climber has
seen when within ten feet of the top
that corrosion of the iron and the col

wall that the hook Ia merely balancing
on the top. so that the slightest pull
In the wrong direction would drag 1t

at the top. and the hook is likely to
tear them away.
One Of the natural difficulties to con-
quer is the swaying of all high stee-
pies and chimneys. In gale steeple

Usually 1t sways from seven to nine
