FIRE DESTROYSI HOME|
EARL MANGUS SAVES SUIT IN
MONDAY NIGHT BLAZE.
Family Sound Asleep When Neigh
bor Discovers Blaze and Calls
Fire Fighters.

A suit of clothing was all that was
saved in a fire that destroyed the
home of j. W. Mangus late last night,
and woke the family from sleep to
send them scurring to the street in
deshabille. The blaze was first seen
by Phil Begin, neighbor, who turned
in the alarm. When the sudden
burst of light fared in the windows
of Mr.. Begins home the hall of the
house was in flames, and before its
discoverer could dress himself and
hurry to the assistance of those
asleep in the house the fire had spread
so that when the fire department ar
rived it was practically beyond con
troll. Immediately after the alarm
was sent in the family in the Mangus
home awakened, and in his surprise a
young man jumped from an upper
window of the house. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mangus escaped through a side door.
The only salvage from the fire was a
suit of clothes carried by Earl, the
young man who jumped to safety.
Miss Mangus, daughter, was not at
home when the fire started and other
children are out of the city, it is
said. Mr.. Mangus and the son, Earl,
were employed at the mill here. Those
best acquainted with the family say
that there was no insurance to cover
the loss of about $4,000.
The origin of the fire was in the
heating stove in the hallway, where
an accumulation of papers and such
made an intense heat about 1915 last
evening. Within five or ten minutes
after the alarm was sounded the side
walks about the blazing home were
massed with people. The fire depart
mept made a quick trip to the scene
and did very good work with two hoses
in getting the fire under control as
soon as they did. 1t was not posi-
BILE, however, to quench the roaring
flames before they had ruined the
home beyond repair.

CASE DIES UNDER KNIFE
SLAYER OF BROTHER PASSES
AFTER SURGICAL OPERATION.
Natives of Polk County Principals in
Tragic Affair Enacted in Clack-
amas County.

Samuel Case, native Of Polk coun-
ty, and under indictment for the kill
ing of his brother, Ernest Case, ait
Oregon City on October 3, after bad
blood had existed between them for
several years, died on Friday last fol-
lowing a surgical operation. Deceased
was son of Rev. and Mrs. Lebon
Case, pioneers of Polk county, and it
was here that Samuel Case was born
forty-two years ago. The father was
a leading church worker in the earlier
days Of this section, and when he de-
parted this life he left large estate,
which was divided among several
heirs. The Staying of his brother, E.
R., by Samuel Case is still fresh in
the memory of those who remember
the principals. The brothers married
sisters, and even death has not healed
the ill-feeling that has existed be-
tween the families for years, and they
are not on speaking terms.
Cassius, another brother, recently
told the story of the differences be-
tween Ernest and Sam, which were
published in The Observer at the time
of the killing. He says he and Sam
stayed on the farm and worked, that
Ernest might go to college, and that
with the knowledge gained in school
Ernest managed to cheat the rightful
heirs out Of the fathers estate. Other
issues came between them until Ernest
is alleged to have threatened to take
Sam IS life. On the night of Sunday,
October 3, Sam was on his way home
when Ernest is said to have rushed
from his barn and at Sam. Sam fired
and Ernest fell dead. A coroner's
jury exonerated Sam, but the grand
jury indicted him and he was to have
been tried December s. More than
twenty persons had been served as
witnesses. R
Sam Case is survived by his widow,
two children and the following broth
ers and sisters: George Case, in the
east, Tom Case Of Lebanon, Cassius
Case of Park Place, Mrs. Bell Booth

Lebanon.

the result that the Ryan family was
Immediately thereafter catless. The

that it caught gophers in the field and
rats about the premises, and Mr.. Ry-

brought to Dallas yesterday, Smith

Not Yet, But Soon.

When the tall stack at the sawmill
Of the Falls City Lumber company
emitted great gobs of black smoke
the other day the denizens of that
place wondered If the expected had
really happened, but later learned
that the boilers had been fired simply
to oil the big belts. But there is ev-

long idle. As one Falls City man re-
marked, "It's a good omen, anyway"

FIRE DESTROYS FARM HOME.
Loss In Sunday Blaze Near Oakdale
Covered by Insurance.

A Sunday afternoon blaze entirely
destroyed the George Stewart house
near the 0akdale school and much of
the furniture and personal effects of
the occupant, John W. Macomber,
were consumed. Its origin is unknown.
The fire spread rapidly over the house,
allowing only time enough for the
family to save a few pieces of furnf-
ture and some personal belongings.
The house was valued, approximately,
at 5000 and was insured for $500. The
furniture was insured. The blaze at
tracted the attention of many neigh
bors, some of whom joined in an un-
successful attempt to combat the
flames.

Early Morning Fire at Buena Vista.

An early morning fire today de-
stroyed the large feed mil and the
grain and seed of W. S. .McClain at
Buena Vista. The origin of the blaze
has not been determined and the loss
is estimated at about $4,000, includ-
ing the building and its contents,
which were totally destroyed. The
building was valued at about S25nO
and the feed and grain stored in it
were worth approximately $500. Mr..
McClain carried $1,000 insurance on
the entire property. Efforts at say-
ing the building from total destruc-
ton were futile because Of the dis
tance from a water supply, and was
allowed to burn to the ground.

 $502,482,214. The general boards to- tai is S499, ,S76, 000, very slight differ ence for the five years, though the boards recommendation for the first year is much larger than the depart ments estimate.
 The fve-year program for new ships and completion of those already au- thorized reaches grand total of S502,- 482,214, with large appropriations for reserve ammunition and aviation.
