PONY STAMPEDES
 RANCH HORSES

Ritzville, Wash. (UP)-John Kramer's band of AZ horses and mules had gazed on many strange things, and found them unalarnning.
 They could look placidly at motor cars or coyotes. Mountain bears did not frighten them.
 But when a wandering Shetland pony tried to attach itself to the stock, there resulted what observ- CTS feelingly termed "the dangest stampede in the history of Adams county
 It was 7:30 a. m. when the Shet- land first appeared. The horses and mules headed away from there on a dead run the pony at their heels.
 Hearing the laundering hoofs, ranch employees headed off all but IS head of the frightened animals These disappeared down the road in a cloud of dust, the Shetland still in pursuit.
 For two hours the frightened stock ran, covering 30 miles. When finally found, the horses and mules were on sheep range on the alouse river.
 The Shetland pony had disap- peared.

GENERAL LEE
 EXPERT MIXER

Rio Grande City, Tex (UP)--Gen- erai Robert F. Lee was an expert on cocktails, an old volume found in the ruins of Fort Ringold here re- veals. Major Paul R. Davison, the officer who found the volume some years ago has recently made it's con- tents public.
 The book is a collection of recipes for concocting mixed alcoholic drinks. Champagnes, wines and bran- dies are mentioned along with many other fluids. Lee was an officer at Fort Ringold before the Civil war.
 While on the way to the border with troop of cavalry, Davison stopped to explore the ruins of the historic old fort.
 In exploring the ancient barracks and warehouses, he found supply room with an interior eight feet shorter than the exterior. He in- vestigated and found a false wall. He broke through and found stacks of loot. apparently deposited there by a scheming supply officer.
 Books and orders signed by Rob- ert E. Lee were mixed with ancient army uniforms and weapons. One of the books, designated as Lees own, contained copper plate recipes for mixing drinks. Davison turned the loot over to army authorities and most of it has been placed in museums. He kept the book.

 Starting after two hot air explo- sions of unknown origin had blasted the basement. the fire mushroomed through the 100-room hostelry, quickly running a newly-instalIed s5o.o00 miniature golf course and trapping scores of guests in their rooms.
 Collapse of three floors of the i've story brick building, located at Broad and Exchange streets, impeded the hunt for bodies. Police and fire- men expressed the belief that some of the guests unaccounted for might nave escaped and left the scene, but they considered it certain that some of the missing had perished.
 Injured guests who were taken to Lynn hospital were:
 Florence Curdo, burns, sprained back and ankle.
 Edward Munroe, burns, multiple decorations of arms and back.
 Lottie Clifford, burns of neck and face.
 Mabel Eaton, burns of neck and face.
 Frank l.. Nelson, burns of face, neck and shoulders.
 Bremen taken to the same hospi- tai were:
 Captain Thomas whalen, sprained wrist.
 Joseph Gillespie, broken leg. Parker B. Haskey, lacerated hand.
 There were 75 registered guests at the hotel, the largest and one of the oldest hostelries in Lynn, when the fire broke out. Several guests on the lower floors escaped with lit- tie difficulty, but those on the floors above, with a single fire escape of- fering the sole means of exit, were trapped.
 In addition to the registered guests, about a dozen persons oc- cupied private. apartments in the hotel, increasing the total number of occupants to at least 85.
 Besides those taken to hospitals, several guests and firemen suffered minor injuries and from smoke in- halation and were given frst-aid treatment at the scene.
 Following the double hot-air blast in the basement flames spurted up through the building and had gained cred by Patrolman William Murray and Night Clerk Charles Bowling.
 They attempted to awaken guests but the fast-spreading fire prevented them from proceeding beyond the second floor.
 When firemen arrived the faces of frightened guests could be seen in upper windows. Several guests were taken over ladders to safety. Others partly overcome by smoke, were carried out. Eben Case and James Williams leaped from second and third-story windows, respectively, into life nets.
 Widest excitement reigned as pam icky guests crowded smoke-choked corridors in a frantic rush to safety. The capacity of the hotels only fire escape was taxed as guests poured down it, some of them jumping from the second-fioor level to the ground in their haste. I
 Among the guests who were car ried to safety was Louis Buzzell, president of Buzzells, Inc, local fur nittre company.
