paigners are today making a great cap
ital of the decision of the Court of Ap

petitions for a candidate are valid, and
tbfVJathan Strauss is favoring Hearst.
Trie Independence league candidate's
managers say that the establishment of
the principle of validity of multiple peti

letter of endorsement is being .used as a
piece of heavy artillery in all centers to
day. Nathan St-auss has for years Been
trying to have poor women and children

ON FIRE
The Masonic building was seriously
threatened with destruction by fire last
Ivening which originated in the basement
et .Was shortly after seven o'clock that
the fire was discovered and the depart
ment was on hand promptly. The Forrest
Millinery store, the Seattle Grocery store,
rooms which also contains ths Little Rack
et store was filled with smoke to suffoca
tion. Bystanders, thinking that the fire
was either in the rear of the Forrest
m. . .
stora or under, hurried to remove the
furnishings from the millinery. About the
wti wub piabuuiiiy overyuung naa oeen
removed, the exact location of the fire
had been discovered. The fire depart
ment had entered Ihe basement from a
window directly under the Forrest store,
but on gaining the cellar, which extends
under both store rooms, the blaze was
found to be in the stairway leading to the
rear room of the Seattle Grocery. The
fire deportment at the risk of lives, re
mained at their task, using wet towels over
their faces to purify as much as possible
the coal oil smoke which actually stuffed
the basement.
The stairway, the door leading to the open,
and the trap door it the Seattle Grocery
floor was ablaze with a fire that was
hard to extinguish. At the edge of the
trap door stands a coal oil tank and due
to a slight leakage, coal oil has satuarated
the floor on which it was standing, had
worked thru and soaked the stairway and
rubbish lying about the basement floor.
It can be readily seen how fire once be
yond control would have gutted the entire
building.
The trap door acted as a shaft and the
outer stairway door served to furnish air
thus making the best possible condition
for fire.
By persistant work the department
overpowered the flame.
Tho heaviest loss sustained by anyone.
was by John Holl who had apples stored
in the basement. About a hundred
boxes of apples are scorched and worth
less.
Considerable loss was sustained by the
Seattle Grocery. Stock in : he rear was
soaked by water and saturated with
smoke. Other stock was more or less
injured and adjusters are working .today
on the loss.
The origin is not known. Mr. Holl was
in the cellar after four o'clock but on
leaving had taken the lantern to the rear
of the building to extinguish it, thus ex
ploding the theory that a candle had ignited
the rubbish, as was at first thot. There
were no wires in the basement other than
a telepone wire, and that could not start
a fire. At six o'clock parties visited the
basement and saw no indications of fire.
Indications point to an origin of an incend
iary nature.
Mrs. Forrest carries a small insurance
on the houshold goods and stock. How
ever the loss and destruction is not much,
and the greatest loss the millinery store will
realize is that many think her stock was
more or less ruined and a fire sale is in
evitable. However such is rot the case
as her line of millinery is not damaged, j
The voTunteer assistance that was ren- j
dared in removing the stock and goods, i
was extraordinarily careful and the j
amount of breakage from this scource
was small.
C. S. Van Duyne carries n j insurance !
on his line and what was rjined is a di- j
red loss. .
