ductor and brakeman to go back to the
caboose and stay there. They leaped
from the car on the opposite side and
ran toward the engine.

Fisher and his fireman, they ordered
the former to detach his engine from
the train and take them down the
track.

train was due and they would all be
killed. The robbers repeated their de
mands.
Fisher hesitated a moment and the
gang sent a fusillade Of shots into the

the head. He dropped to the floor OF
the cab, dying instantly.

Conflagration Spreads Along

Portland, Ore, March 14.-Fire that
swept six square blocks. destroying all
property on the east water front be-
tween the north and south Albina fer
ries, with Il total loss exceeding ST.
100000, started in the Columbia dOck,
deVouring stores of sulphur, oil, liquid
asphalt and sending volumes OF vari-
colored flame aloft, the firemen fight
ing against the fumes arising from the
burning chemicals.
Panic Reigns For Time.
Panic reigned along the water front,
with %tugboats steaming up to save
the shipping. and sailors cutting loose
all locked craft into the Willamette
river. Open drawbridges DELAYED the
arrival of fire department, and the
flames were beyond control when the
land apparatus got into action. The
fireboat David Campbell worked from
the river, but the fire swept landward.
The steamers Cricket and Glenroy,
moOred at Columbia dock No. l and
Montgomery dock No. ., caught fire.
The Cricket came Out OF the Columbia
and into the Willamette from San
Francisco laden with asphalt during
the night and tied up. Firemen, work
ing through the burning docks to the
waters edge. cut the Cricket loose and
turned the ship into the river, but the
ship, instead OF turning outward. drift
ed along the docks then spreading the

the Montgomery dock where the Glen
roy lay, and the two steamers and the
dock ignited. The dock burned 10 the
piling, on the water front end.
Thirty-one Chinese sailors on the
Glenroy got ashore and were taken in
charge by the immigration officials,
and the steamer. a steel boat, burned
20 her hull, her steel plates warping
and cracking.
Alarmed lest the drifting Cricket
carry the c~onfagration further, the
tireboat David Campbell started in
pursuit, the firemen on board not dar-
ing to approach TOO close to the burn
ing ship. The Campbell caught the
Cricket by a graphing line and toWed
her TO midstreai2., but not until the
Montgomery dock had been set on fire
and was a mass Of flames.
The police took the first mate of the
Glenroy off that ship. where he lay
with a broken arm and other injuries,
and several injured Chinese sailors
were rushed TO hospitals.
