DISASTROUS FIRE,
AT KINDRED
Results In tho Tragic Death oF
Grandpa Hanson, Ninety
Years Of Age.
WHOLE COMMUNITY MOURNs
The Saddest Occurrence In tiles
History Of Our Neighbor-
ing City.

Kindred Tribune:
The dreaded sounds of the fire
bell at 4:3O Friday morning g.
wakened our citizens; the engines
were placed in operation; the
bucket brigade was there; the
property owners whose interests
were not at stake, lent a helping
hand to save the homes of their
brothers; the smoke curled from,
the frail structure in which he
was accustomed to sleep, and tie
water, chemicals and bucket bri-
gade kept the fire from spreading
Within those frail walls, unknown
to most of us, was poor Grandpa.
Hanson, who, in some manner.
had caused the fire which meant
his death. The lamp, standing by
his bed, might have been over
turned; the stove might have ex-
ploded and countless other caus-
es might be attributed to. the ac-
cident. AS the smoke and flames
cleared away, lying near the dooz-
was all that was mortal of tie
old gentleman whose. smiling
face and genial temperament was
the secret of his alteration. His
limbs were burned away; there
was no semblance of his morta5
body. The final remains were
placed in casket and on Monday
afternoon were laid at rest in the
Kindred cemetery.
Mrs. Miller, assistant at the
G. N. depot, was the first to dis
cover. the flames and ran TO tffe
hotA and awakened the occu-
pants thereby saving the loss OF
several other properties which,
might have burned.
This is the saddest occurrence
in the history Of Kindred and the
entire community mourns. Es-
pecially is sympathy extended TO
Mrs. Hanson, who has been as a
mother to the old gentleman
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the Kindred church
on Monday afternoon and a large

ERUPTION IN JAPAN
Thousands Of Lives Lost In Earth
quake and Tidal Wave.


Indications are that the death
list from earthquakes and volcan-
ic disturbances around Kagosh-
ina, Japan, will run into the
thousands. Government author
tiles declared that any official es-
innate of the disaster will be inn
possible for several days.
The population of the city of
Kagoshima, which was almost
completely buried in volcanic
ashes and stones, numbered Co.
900 at the last census. The pop
ulation of the adjoining island of
Sakura, the center of the disturb
ance, is given as $4,000.
On this island hundreds are re-
ported to have perished beneath
a stream of molten lava from the
volcano Sakura-Jima. Many
more were undoubtedly drowned
while attempting to escape.
Doctors and hospital attend
ants have been rushed to the
scene but it is difficult to reach
the spot as railroad communica-
ton is impeded by the heaps of
ashes and the tracks are all dis
located by the earthquakes.
The violence of the eruption of
Sakura-Jima is so great that
showers of dust are falling a hun
dred miles away.

HARRY (. THAW
NO LONGER INSANE
Gay tho Commissioners Appointed
BY Federal Judge to 1nvesti.
gate Him.
HAS NO MENTAL DISEASE
10 the Unanimous Verdict Of Fed
eral Commission on Noted
Prisoner.

Harry Kendall Thaw would not
be a public menace if released on
bail, according to the report OF
the commission appointed by
Federal Judge Aldrich to inquire
into the state of Thaw's mentali-
ty. The report says the COM
mission finds that Thaw is not
afflicted with any mental disease
from which he was suffering when
he slew Stanford White.
Withhold Opinion
While the commissioners say
they reached a definite and posi-
tive opinion regarding the pres
ent mental condition of Thaw and
his probable state of mind at the
time of the homicide, they re-
frain from expressing an opinion
in view of their instructions from
the court not to embarrass any
subsequent litigation where the
broad question of insanity would
be involved.
Not Dangerous
Upon the question of menace
or danger through the granting
of bail, we may however, be per-
mitted and probably compelled
concludes the report, "to record
our findings that whatever may
have been the mental condition OF
Harry Kendall Thaw at the time
of the homicide, he is not now sui
fering from any forms of mental
disease alleged by the prosecu-
ton at the time of the trial OF
subsequently, thereto. In. oul
opinion it is reasonably probable
that Harry Kendall Thaw's liber-
ty under bail will not be danger
Gus or a menace to the public
peace and safety"

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS

Your attention is directed to the

lar piece of property may be paid

UNDER DEMOCRATIC ADMINS
TRATI0N.

The Oregon City Courier has the
following to say about how things
are being cared for by the admins
tration:
president Wilson is making very
good awfully fast. The bull moose
and the old line Republicans might
just as well fold their arms for 1916. -"
Immediately following the above
editorial in the same column appears
the following, which seems to indi-
cate that il is also expected that the
democrats who are favored by hold
ing official democratic positions
should assist the unfortunate men
who are deprived of the chance 10
earn a living because of financial or
industrial depression during such adj
ministration. Will all good demo-
Gratis take notice and govern them
selves accordingly.

THE THAW VINDICATION

Although the Commission appoint
ed to confer and bring in a report as
to whether Harry Thaw was insane,
have reported that Harry is not iu-
sane at present and that in their
opinion it would be all right to allow
him to give bail and be at liberty.
Judge Aldrich of the Federal Court
refuses to consider the matter until
the decision is made on the habeas
corpus proceedings now pending for
which briefs must be filed before
January Goth.
This is rather hard on Harry who is
reported as having made all arrange
ments to have a much needed vacation
and enjoy the privileges of freedom.
The free use of tainted money has
been the cause, it is contended, by
both sides in this controversy, of
the long continued fight.
1t takes large amount of money
to find out legally whether man
who, when insane, kills his man, has =
right to make his escape from an
asylum if he became sane and not
be returned, but given his liberty in
another state.
There has probably never been II
case where a more bitter fight has
been waged from both sides and
where the public sentiment has been
more divided.
If Harry regains his liberty and
wishes to recuperate his fortune, he
will more than likely appear in the
vaudeville circuit as a much abused
and persecutt / man.

A Merciful Farmer.

A young lady from the city was go
ing one summer to make her first visit
to cousin in the country. At the sta
ton she was met by the cousin, and
after half hours drive he told hel
they were approaching his farm.
In one of the broad fields that met
the young lady's attentive eye stood a
windmill, and gathered around it, some
standing and some reclining, were
several hogs.
"Well, that beats anything 1 ever
heard OFF, exclaimed the fair one. 81
didn't know that you farmers were SC

Open Windows at Night.

1t is difficult to get doctors to agree
and to agree with the patient listener.
For years l had been slave to the
open window, the fresh air at night,
That doctrine of the open bedroom
window was my obsession, but recently
doubt crept in. By accident the bed.
room window had been closed, and
slept peacefully and woke refreshed
in a closed room. There was no ven.
tilation of the official medical variety.

lem of the window at night, and, tc
my astonishment. he told me that
am an animal when l sleep and do not
want fresh air at ALL

sleep they choose the stuffiest hooks
they can find, and they know what is
best for them. Shut your bedroom
windows at night and open them in the
morning." And when / reflected on

couraged to tuck my nose with the
other animals.-London Chronicle.
