Joseph Hayes died Wednes day of Inst week of heart fail ure nt 303 Smith avenue. Ho had only boon in St. Johns a short while, and rccontly came from Topokn, Kansas. He was a native of DuBols, Ponna., and wns aged about 28 years mid unmarried. Tho remains were embalmed by the St. Johns Un dertaking Co. and will likely bo shipped to DuBols for burin). Tho young man was a member of the local Moose lodge. The fire department was called out about 5 o'clock Sunday morn ing by tho alarm of firo. It was found to bo located at Crawford and Salem streets at an old building owned by A. W. Francis. It is believed that it was set on firo either accidentally or other wise by some wandering "Wil lie." The loss was slight, but had tho fire been given a chance to spread it would no doubt havo done great damage to nearby property. The auto truck was on the scene in jig time, and soon had it under control. A letter in the Gresham Out look last week from a man in Alaska contains the following relative to conditions in Alaska: 4There are a jot of old timers hero who are looking for a day's work but cannot get it. When I came up on the steamer from Seattle to Skagway we stopped at all the towns along the way: also from Skagway to Ruby, and every one of the nlaces looked quiet. I have seen men hero who havo come from different places in Alaska and they sav every place is dead." The home of Elmer E. Thom as at 1006 South Hayes street was badly damaged by fire at about 1;15 Tuesday morning. The local fire department made excellent time in reaching the scene and succeeded in saving portion of the building and somo of the furniture. Mr. Thomas was at home at the time, the balance of the family being ab sent. He states that he has no knowledge of how the firo start ed, but believes it may have caught from the electric wiring in the upper story of the house. It is estimated that the damage will amount to $900 or more on house and furniture, said to.be covered by insurance. It was only on account of the speed of the auto truck that any portion of the residence was saved, and possibly was the means of sav ing nearby property.
