BABES ESCAPE
Mrs. Wm. Judd Succeeds in
Saving Three from Burning
Home at North Inlet.
JUST AS ROOF FELL IN.
Fire Reaches Fixtures She Had Car
ried Out and Thieves Try to Rob
Her.
Just after Mrs. Wm. Judd of North
Inlet stepped outside of the thresh
hold of her burning home, after re
scuing her three little children and
getting her jewelry and money, the
rtof of tho structure fell in. The
narraw escapo of tho woman and
babes was the one streak of luck in
the misfortune that befell the family.
The fire originated from a defec
tio flue and had gained consider
able headway when Mrs. Judd, who
was at home alone with her chil
dren, discovered it. She was bathing
her two weeks old child at the time.
She at once took the little ones the
oldest being less than three years
old, to a point of safety and began
to remove the furniture to a wood
shed nearby. While thus engaged,
she remembered her .money and
jowelry and just after securing them,
the roof fell.
Other Misfortunes.
The wind carried the flames from
the burning house to the woodshed,
destroying it and tho furniture that
Mrs. Judd had lugged there for safe
ty. Neighbors then came to tho res
cue and she and the children wero
taken to the hotel at North Inlet.
Twice during the night following,
sneak thieves almost succeeded in
getting into her room and securing
her little sum of money and jewelry
but Were driven off in tho nick of
time by the watchfulness of the hotel
proprietor.
Mr. Judd is employed In a logging
camp. Tho neighbors have raised
tidy sum to help the family and the
Simpson Lumber Company has gen
erously offered sufficient lumber to
rebuild the burned home.

I
Has Removed from Town and
Private Business Takes Up
his Time Rumors of
Other Resignations and
Debate Over Police Uni
forms Cause Much Com
ment. Ivy Condron has resigned as a
member of the Marshfleld City Coun
cil and while several members of the
council have informed him that it
will not bo accepted, ho insists that
he will not attend any more meet
ings. He gives as a reason for his
resignation that he has moved his
home from tho city to his country
ranch nnd also that his private busi
ness affairs take up his time.
The council would have probably
acted on his resignation last night
only his formal resignation was not
convenient. Mayor Straw has not
intimated whom he will appoint for
the place but a number are urging
Charles Johnson, the furniture man,
for the place.
There have been constant rumors
tho last few days of other city ofll
cials resigning but so far only one has
been tubmitted. A speech by Mtyor
Straw in the council last night was
Interpreted by some who heard it as
a threat to resign If some sort of
system could not bo Injected Into
municipal affairs and the course of
business smoothened. Mayor Straw
said today that he did not mean that
he was going to resign and that he
Intended to retain ofllco for another
six months or a year.
Councilman Flanagan, whose name
was connected with the rumor, said
today that ho had eight months more
of his term to serve and that ho did
not know whether ho would bo able
to servo it out.
Councilman Lockhart said that he
had two years more to serve but,
that he did not believe that he could
serve It out. His time is taken up
with his private business and he also
believes that he would be better able
to represent his direct Interest In
municipal improvements off tho
council than a member of it.
Uniforms arc Discussed.
Last night's council meeting devel
oped unexpectedly Into one of the
warmest of the year. It was started
by Marshal Carter appearing before
the body and asking that tho city of
Marshfleld purchase uniforms for
himself and the two .night watchmen.
Councilman Lockhart approved of
tho idea, saying that ho believed that
uniformed men would bo a means of
Improving tho police protection, and
moved that uniforms be purchased
for tho men.
Mayor Straw then made a speech
In which he commended Marshfleld
upon its excellent police protection

Councilman Sacchl then arose and
said that ho concurred with Mayor
btraw in wishing tho ofllcers uni
formed and wished to compliment
the mayor for the efforts ho had put
forth in behalf of Marshfleld, and
especially in improving tho police
protection. However, ho did not be
lieve that tho city could afford to
incur the expense of buying uniforms
now, Its fund3 being too low to war
rant it and, at any rate, he thought
the policemen should buy their own
clothes. Here Mayor Straw objected,
saying that the police wero only
given a "Chinaman's wage."
"We are paying enough," declared
Sacchi. "I havo never seen a night
watchman off Front street. Tho city
of Marshfleld Is willing to pay for
one watchman for Front street but if
more than one is needed, the busi
ness houses on Front street that get
the benefit should pay for the
others."
Hero Night Watchman Condron,
wno was present, attempted to an
swer Sacchl's charge that the watch
men did not got off Front street in
their rounds but Mr. Sacchi and
Mayor Straw would not let him talk.
However, after the meeting, Mr. Con
dron Informed Sacchi that tho charge
was incorrect but Mr. Sacchi main
tained ho was right.
Seymour H. Boll, manager of the
Gas and Electric Companyn, who was
also on nana, asked to speak a word
and on being allowed to do so said
that ho considered Marshfleld one of
tho best policed towns of its size J
that he was ever in. He believed the
uniforms ought to be bought.
On tho voto on Mr. Lockhart's
motion to expend $45 per year for
uniforms for the police, Lockhart
and Savage voted in favor of it, Sac
chi and Nelson against, F'iahgan and
Condron being absent. Then Mayor1
Straw voted in favor of it. City At
torney Farrln was instructed to'
draft an ordinance permitting the
city to make the expenditure and this
will be presented at a later session.

PETTIBONE IS
Official of Western Federation
of Miners Critically III in
Southern California.
George A. Pottlbono, the leader of
the Weatorn Federation of Mlneis,
who gained so much notorloty In con
nection with the slaying of ox-Governor
Steunenberg of Idaho and with
the alleged misdeeds of that organ
ization, is lying at the point of death
in Southern California. This in
formation was conveyed in a letter
to Judge K. I. Perkey of Boise, Ida
ho, now on Coos Bay, from Vice
president Moyor of tho organization.
Judge Perkey was ono of tho minors
attorneys in the famous Steunenberg
case.
"Mr. Moyer wroto mo a few days
ago that he had just received a mes
sage calling him to Pettibone's bed
side," said Judgo Perkey last oven
Ing. "There Is no hope for Petti
bone's recovery.
"Pettlbone and Moyer havo both
been given tho worst of It, Infamous
stories being told and circulated
about them. Of course, tho great
war that has been going on In Idaho
and other western points between
labor and capital, has stirred up a
bitter feeling and is a problem that
is difficult to settle. However, things
have calmed down nnd you don't
hear much about it any more.
"There Is a, general belief that tho
death sentence of Harry Orchard will
bo commuted. A strong effort is be
ing put forth In his behalf by tho
element who think that ho told tho
truth about tho plot and with this,
and tho recommendation of Judgo
Wood, who sentenced him to death,
for clemoncy, lie has a strong chance
of securing mercy."
Judgo Perkey is quite heavily in
terested on Coos Bay, having bought
proporty hero some yeard ago. Ho
to a former Iowan, having graduated
from tho Stato University of Iowa
and been admitted to tho bar at Des
