TACOMA. June 2a A special to the
Ledger from Hot Springs, "Wash., says;
For a distance -of seven miles, the Green
River Valley Is a sea ? flames. Since
soon today. Dr. Kloeher and the em
ployes and guests of the Kloeber Green
silver Hot Springs .have been persistently
and successfully fighting the fire to save
the hotel. Steadily, the fire was held
"back and assistance asked for from Ta
coma, which "was promptly sent by Mayor
Campbell. Near Mas wood, three miles
below here, a lumber camp has been
burned out. On each side Is a Beethlng
furnace, eo hot that the crew of the relief
train was compelled to seek protection
Inside the caboose while passing It.
Morgan's camp, one mile down, Is par
tially destroyed, though it is believed the
most valuable effects can be caved.
At Imton, nine miles below Hot Springs,
are congregated the few settlers anq
w oodsmen' of the vicinity. They declare
the forest for miles around to be a Samar
for heat In, which every living thing roust
perish.
At Eagle Gorge, the same thing exists,
the frightened inhabitants having hauled
their effects to the depot platform, which
Is piled high with furniture. The place la
In great danger because of the proximity
of the forest to the cluster of buildings
there. Tvventy-two miles, below here. Just
west of Kanaskat, on the Palmer cut-off
several square -miles tf timber are In
flames. On a spur of the railroad there,
bridges hae been burned out. About luu
section hands are guarding the track,
fighting the fire back, and attempting to
keep it from crossing to the trees on the
south -side.
There are over 100 guests at the hotel,
all ot whom have spent an exciting day.
Many of the ladles -were badly frightened,
while the danger was most Imminent, but
since the fire engine arried, their feara
hae given place to confidence that the
buildings can be saved.
The castbound passenger train reached
Capton, nine miles below here, at 5:30
o'clock this evening, but so tierce was
the fire directly in front that the con
ductor dared not risk the run through it
for several hours. It was nearly 9 o'clock
before the signal was given to proceed,
and then commenced a thrilling race for
seeral miles. It appeared to the passen
gers that they were passing through a
seething furnace. All windows were
closed to protect them from the fierce,
flames while the train crew protected
themselves as best they could. The pas
sengers report seeing several cabins In
flames about five miles below here. This
is believed to be "Woods' lumber camp. '
BLCKLEY FIRE STARTS IX MILL.
Property Destroyed and -Blaze Ex
tends to Forest.
TACOMA, June 20. A4 special to the
Ledger front Buckley says:
Fire started at 2 o'clock this morning
at Mountain Mill, two miles from town,
and after destrojlng all the mill property
and the cars belonging to the Northern
Pacific, which were standing on the sid
ing, "spread to the woods. The residence
of J. Van Rassler, on the outskirts or
Buckley, was destroyed. The Tacoma
Fire Department sent a supply of hose
and as the wlnd abated, the flames were
soon stopped,, and at present the city is
out of danger
There are two fires raging through the
heavy timber on the mountain-side. One
started at Mountain Mill, and the other in
the Green River country. The former
spread to Enumelaw, and tna village had
a narrow escape. Hansen Bros.' mill, -with
all their lumber, was ourned, and one
mile of flume was destroyed by the lire
The destruction of the flume cut off the
supply of water, and In case the wind
rises and carries the fire toward; town
again, the inhabitants are practically
helpless. Many farmhouses are supposed
to have "been Jn the track of the fire and
destroyed. The Page Lumber Company's
camp at Eagle Gorge was destroyed.
Eery camp 1p the Green River district
is reported to be either destroyed or
threatened with destruction. The Kang
ley shingle mill, located one mile from
Kangley, Is destroyed.
Fire is raging In the vicinity of Palmer.
In the iclnlty of Barnston, the fierce
flames are rapidly eating their way
through a heavy growth of timber. The
"White Rlvo-Mumber mills, three miles

SOME CITY'S EXCITIXG VOYAGE.
For a Month tbe Shjp Was Practi
cally Fast in the Ice.
SEATTLE. June 20-The steamer Nome
City arrived tonight, with the record of
being the first steamer to reach Nome, and
also the first one to return from there, out
of a fleet of 30 vessels. The ship bears
many eidences of the fierce battles with
the Ice In the North, but Is not materially
injured The North-bound trip was an ex
citing, one. From May 4 until a month
later the ship was practically fast In the
Ice. being stopped short by a body of Ico
fully eight feet thick. The ship tried
bucking its way through for two davs, but
when within 65 miles ol Nome 'it was
again hemmed In.
The pack In which the Nome City was
caught wan drifting to the northwest. For
several days the vessel drifted around the
Island of St Lawrence, and May 14 was
raised clear out of the water by a sudden
jam. The iron sheathing put on at Se
attle before starting was all that saved
the vessel from being smashed to pieces.
The rudderhead was twisted and the ship
was badly shaken up. While in this po
sition a white dog came to the ship from a
native settlement on the island. The ship,
In drifting about, narrowly escaped going
ashore on the Dlomedes. From this posi
tion the steamer Portland was sighted In
the pack, drifting up Behrlng Straits
toward the Arctic Ocean, apparently fro
zen In fast.
Fortunately a lead opened the morning
of June 4. and Captain Daniels gae the
signal to go ahead at full speed. The ship
bucked away through to open water and
to Nome, much to the delight of the peo
ple of Nome, who had been locked up for
eight long months. The reception given
the Incoming passengers was an enthusi
astic one by the people of Nome, and busi
ness was practically suspended when the
ship arrived. Every available boat was
pressed Into service until the surface of
Behrlng Sea was dotted with small craft
flying about.
Adrift on Ice Floe for Days.
SEATTLE, June 20. The steamer Nome
City arrived tonight with tho story of an
Eskimo teal hunter who was adrift on
an ice floe for three days and two nights.
He wag nearly starved when his piece
of Ice struck an Ice pack and he was
able to get on land.

COLFAX, Wash., June 20. Company L,
National Guard of Washington, of this
city. Is torn by internal dissensions that
promise to disrupt the organization, and
a sensational court-martial h almost as
sured. F. T. Baker, Captain of the com
pany, is charged with striking, an en
listed man, and charges have been pre
ferred against him. A court of Inquiry
has Investigated the matter and will make
Its report to Adjutant-General Drain as
soon as the testimony can be transcribed.
Harry Marsh, a private, is the com

It Is alleged that the Captain, while In

vate In the company. This occurred last
Monday night, but has been kept quiet
until the court of Inquiry held last night
by Lieutenant-Colonel Hamilton and Cap
tain Pocock, assistant surgeon of the
First Regiment National Guard of Wash
ington, let out some of the facts, and to
day the matter Is being talked on the
street. It la- difficult to get at the Inside
facts of the case, but, according to the
story of Harry Marsh and his friends,
there was a lively time In the Armory
Monday night.
The story as told by those who were
present Is that Second Lieutenant .Mc
Cutcheon had charge of the drill and that
Captain Baker was present In the Armory
but was not In uniform and had no right,
so they allege, to participate In the work,
but kept giving orders, which Marsh and
others refused to obey. The story Is that
Marsh and the Captain had some words,
and the Captain told Marsh to shut his
mouth. Marsh is alleged to have replied:
"Go to h !,' whereupon it Is. alleged,
Captain Baker knocked Marsh down, toro
his uniform from him and ordered him
disgraced. It Is also rumored on the
streets that Baker struck another enlisted
man, but the facts In this case cannot be
learned. It Is evident, from the stories In
circulation, that there was a general hot
time in the Armory that night.
Both Marsh and Captain Baker wrote
to Adjutant-General Drain that night,
laying their respective sides ot the case
before him. It Is presumed, although the
facts cannot be hid from any Interested
parties, that General Drain ordered the
court of Inquiry, which was held behind
r
closed doors. The testimony was taken
down by R. H. Klpp. a stenographer, who
Is now transcribing It. Klpp was sworn
to secrecy, and will not give oul any In
formation of the chiracter of the testi
mony. TJie' affair has created a sensation here
and fears are entertained that It may re
sult In disorganizing Company L," which
has built an armory here and Is consid
ered one of the crack companies of the
jstate, having won the prise drill at Ta
coma July 4, 1900. Captain Baktc Is a
son of Thomas Baker, one of the pioneers
of Colfax, and has spent the greater part
of his life here. He haB been Captain of
Company L for some time, and Is said to
be a good military man. He has a num

Mirsh also has a strong backing-.

VANCOUVER, Wash.. June .20 -Sheriff
MaYah and the posse, which left her yes
terday afternoon to takp up the new clew
to the whereabouts of Tracy nnd Merrill,
the escaped Oregon convicts, returned at
4 o'clock this afternoon, tired and dirty,
but not disheartened. The oClcers think
the convicts should be heard from again
by tomorrow, as the f"od secured from
Mis. Martin will not last longer than
through today.
"On leaving the Martin place yesterday,
the men took the military road north,
and have not since been heard from. , The
hounds were put on the icent when the
men were last sen, and for a short dis
tance followed their trail eagerly, but It
led back to the road, where they lost It.
Guard Carson, with the doge, returned
to this place with the posse, and will
keep the dogs here till the men again
come out for something to eat. Carson
thinks that If the dogs can get scent of
the convicts Immediately following a light
rain, they will have no difficulty keep
ing the trail. - .
Two of the party, Tom Trent and Slater,
are still In the vicinity of Pioneer, and
Ferrell, the brother ot the guard killed
at Salem, and an Indian scout, who wasj
with the party at Gervals( are In the vi
cinity of La Center. Sheriff Huntington,
with 10 men, are stationed along Lewis
River, and today telephoned Sheriff Marsh
that they would stay on guard as long as
tho outlaws are in this part of the state.
Sheriff Marsh and posse will resume tha
hunt on the first indication of .their where
abouts. A few mtnutcs after leaving the
Martin place yesterday, the outlaws met
a peddler, with whom they exchanged a
few words. The peddler asked them if
they were hunting the convicts, to which
one replied: "No, but you come about as"
neaV an anyone knowing where to ilnd
them." When the peddler was seen a fev
hours later by the pesse, h.3 could give
them no Information except -that he had
met two men whose description tallied
with that of the outlaws, and that they
had proceeded up the road to the north
west. The descriptloa of themen given
by both Mrs. Martin and Targersop leaves
not a particle of doubt Y&i their un
welcome visitors were Tracy aifd Mer

Prove Convicts Were Not Woaaded
In. Battle nt Penitentiary.
SALEM, June 20. The prhon suits of
the fugitive convicts, Tracy and Merrill,
have been recovered. "L. R. Colcman.--who
lhcd about 2 miles southeast of Salem,
found the discarded garments In the tim
ber on his farm. On the morning of their
escape, the men forced an. entrance to
the wood camp on Coleman's farm, where
they appropriated a change of clothing,
consisting of overalls -and jackets. It now
develops that the costumes-were changed
In the woods only a few rods distant from
the cabin. This section wa6 thoroughly
gone over by the searching parties on the
day of the men's escape, and It seems re
markable that a conflict did not take
place, for the pursuers at many times
must have been within a few yards of the
murderers, The garments found by Mt.
Coleman consisted of two pairs, of trous
ers and a prison shirt The last named
garment was the property of Tracy, bear
ing the number 40SS, ty which Tracy wfas
known In the prison. None 0'f the gar
ments were stained with blood, nor could
any bullet holes be found to indicate that
either of the men had been wvounded.
The right side of Tracy's Jacket had been
torn away beneath the s!eee. ,and has
not been found. It Is presumed that the
fragment was used for wrapping up some
of their ammunition or one ot their Are
plecce.
