TQCCOP0LA HAS A
DISASTROUS FIRE
Entire Business Block Wiped
Out--Little or No lnsur-
ance Carried.
LOSS IS PROBABLY
$l5,OOO.O0 OR MORE

Saturday night the town of Toe
copola, 20 miles northeast OF here,
had disasterous fire which swept
the entire eastern portion Of the
town. The loss was as follows
T. J. Wingo & Son, S., 200; Jones
& Pattox, $1,000; Tony Wingo,
81, 900; Christian Church, 81, 900 /;
w. B. Gilmore, $500; postoffice,
making loss of about S15, ,OO0
and no insurance on either stock
or buildings.
The fire was discovered about
Ii o'clock in the T. j. Wingo &
Son store and it rapidly spread
and swept the entire block from
Pontotoc street to the Rogers
grove. The origin OF the fire is
unknown, but it is not thought to
have been ineendiary.
The worst feature Of this un-
fortunate fire Is the fact that these
merchants had just received large
stocks of goods for the fall and
winter trade, much of which was
received the past week, some Of
the cases not having been opened
when the fire occurred. Toceo-
pola will be badly crippled by the
fire as the stores burned were
among the largest in the town.

Shot Herself Through Chest
With SO Caliber Pistol
No Cause Given.
REMAINS CARRIED TO
COLUMBUS TO-DAY

About 7:30 Wednesday morning
the inmates and guests of Mrs.
Stephens boarding house were
shocked when the report of a re-
volver shot rang out with a muf-
led sound from the room occu-
pied by Mr.. and Mrs. C. C. HAM
by, and upon investigation find
ing that Mrs. Lucille Handy had
been shot seriously il not fatally .
1t is believed by some that it
was an attempt at suicide, while
others seem to think that it was
an accident. There is no appar-
ent cause to sustain the suicide
theory, as there never were two
more affectionate persons, ap-
parently, than Mr.. and Mrs.
Handy. Both were young and
had only been married a little
over q year. Mr.. Handy was en-
gagged in the insurance business,
and seemed to be prospecting.
just how serious the wounds are
we cannot learn at this writing,
but from all accounts the lady
is fatally injured, the shot having
passed through the chest, rang
ing to the right side. 1t is un-
derstood that the ball has not
been located by the physicians,
but as she is psralyzed from the
waist down her chance for recov-
cry is anything but hopeful.
Since the above was put in type
Mrs. Handy passed away. She
breathed b er last at 7:45 wednes-
day evening. The remains were
prepared for burial and shipped

to Columbus, the home Of her
mother, on the early morning
train this morning.
1t is thought that it was a clear
case OF suicide, but no reason has
been given to cause her to COM
NIT the rash act.
The father and mother of Mr..
Handy came up from Granada
yesterday and was at the bedside
with the grief stricken husband
when Mrs. Handy died.

While the work conducted by the Albatross on the coast of Washington and Oregon last year did not indicate ] lfhe existence of banks even remotely comparable in size to those of Alaska. | t nevertheless located ground on which a limited fishery may be con- ducted. and, as is perhaps more im- portant. it raised the question of the source of supply of these fish and 8 presumption that more extensive banks may exist off the coast While tho Newport bank probably could be depopuated by one trip of the entire Seattle halibut fleet. nevertheless the development of a number oi such fish banks would insure a moderate supply of fish. of which the ports of Washing ton and Oregon could not be deprived by any. conceivable development across the border. and which would be theirs by virtue of natural not artificial, con ditions
 The Bureau of Fisheries deems these considerations of such import. ance to the permanent prosperity of the fisheries of the northwest coast of the United States that it will de- tail the Albatross to take up this work immediately after 5uly ]. and it has under consideration the employ ment of another vessel for the same purpose This seems to be the most practical and permanent measure for preventing the diversion of the fish cry from Seattle by inducements that may be offered at Prince Rupert It is with regret that am obliged to say that the appropriation for the maintenance of vessels is SO limited that the Albaross can not be set at this service until the next fiscal year for lack of funds If money sufficient were available she might be operating one, or perhaps two months earlier This matter is respectfully recom- mended to the consideration of the gentlemen who represent the States of oregon and Washington in both houses of Congress.
 As regards the interests localized at Ketchikan am not now able to speak definitely of the possibilities for that port You may be sure however, that Che subject win have continuous com sideration. in the hope and belief that the means we so earnestly desire will be found for serving the interests Of our fellow citizens in that locality
