FATAL FIRE
 AT SHAKAN Three Chinamen Dead And
 Several Injured CAUSE IS DOUBTFUL
Injured Taken to Wrangell Fol
 Medical Attention

Word has just been received via wrangell of serious fire at tic Shakan cannery, Wednesday cs Thursday morning.
 The Chinese bunkhouse and some smaller buildings adjoining it were destroyed and only by hard wori' was the cannery itself saved.
 Three Chinamen were burned ,o death in the bunkhouse and siN were badly burned or injured by jumping from the second story win dows of the building onto the rocky beach 27 feet below.
 The origin of the fire is still in doubt, though there is an unconfirm- ed rumor afloat that there had been trouble between the Philippines and Chinese and that in revenge the Phil ippinoes had saturated the hunkhouse with gasoline and set it on fire.
 The injured were taken to Wrang- ell on the gas boat Winnifred, for medical attention.
