T. w. Williams, one OF the fore

Mr.. Williams just few minutes af-

Mr., Williams had spent the early
part of the evening with his moth

her mother called that the father
was sick, and In few moments was
dead, and that without a word.
When the news spread over the
city this morning that T. w. VIII
liams was dead, universal regret was
expressed as the dead citizen was
man of unquestionable integrity,
and one who had done much toward
the upbuilding of Grants Pass. There
we're many earnest words of praise
for his clean life, and his passing is
deeply deplored.

Five Large Stores.

Paterson, N. J., Dec. 16.-An explo-
sion from an unknown cause, started
a half million dollar fire here. The
fire began at 6:45 a. m. in the depart

the corner of Main and Van Houten

big fve-story building in which Dis
kon's store was located and swept
across the street into several four
story buildings.
Joseph Pup, night Waterman in

the spread of the fire that Pup had to
get out of a third story window to
save his life. He jumped to some
guy wires, holding up an overhanging
sign, and dropped into a tarpaulin
held by firemen. His two legs were
broken. The fire destroyed in all
five buildings and damaged a num-
