HHin after midnight till, morning a big triage started on the FUner lit- wljarf at the foot of Sixth street ar.l completely destroyed the. ol;l wanlmuK and the Warren (Packing ' ' Company'')! plant. It wa only jby the heroic effort of the fire department that tlie adjoin ing plant of Limk-irliergi-r t Company waa aaved, and looking back at the furious fire which wa burning ahen the ho wagon arrived It s em . a miracle that it waa saved at 'l IH the time the water wa flrat torne! on tlie whole of the west end of tbe arehoue,. the railroad track and a freight car were burning. From the time when the fire started till is got a full bead o was' marvelously abort. , Pretty too tbe roof wa ablaze and it looked a if nothing could posaibly nave the while wharf from going. Streams of water were flrnt laid on to the west. end but a atrong westerly' wind fanned the, llaiuea to fury,', Tbe tuctics were chang ed and tbe fire" wa fought from the front. A door wae broken down in Lindenberger'a warehouse and hoses led through and at last some sort of head way waa made. lb4 waa led up to tbe roof and water waa streamed on to the living furnace bebiw. But the dry frame building burnt like tinder and again' and again the fire blazed forth. Tlie lighthouse tender Heather, under direc-, Hon of Capt. Burn, backed down from' her wharf and lent all the aid he could, ' doing valuable service on . the north side of the wharf to which the fire de- partmenl was unable to gain aeceas. The united etforta and extraordinary energy ol thief ioter and his men at lat began to take effect and the ton and ton of water thrown on the Ore had the desired effect. Gradually the flame cea.ed to buret out from the point, notj continually drenched and the whole; effort of the department could be di rccted On the terrific furnace in the center of the bulling. In lea than an hour'e time from the arrival of th ho-e wagon the fire waa well under control and within the hour it bad practically oeasod to to a blaae. At a very rough etiiuate at least $15,000 worth of dam age must have been, done and it is to the very great credit of Chief Foster, loyally seconded by bis men, that the damage did not run into six figures. At one time there is not the slightest question that it looked as If not only the whole of Lindenberger'a must go,, but the railroad tracks, two or three cars, and the warehouse aero the tracks. Theatrical people in the Waldorf and vicinity all packed.their trunk. At the risk of appearing fulsome and being guilty o.' repetition, the greatest praise must to accorded the. Chief. Never cer tainly in Astoria has nch excellent fire fighting been seen, and it Is doubtful if better work baa been done elsewhere It ia safd the fire was undoubtedlv of ncendiary origin. HABEASC0RPUSWR1T FOR BOWLSBY SERVICE OF WRIT BY PRISONER'S LAWYERS IS INVALID AND THE "SHERIFF MAXES NO RETURN ON IT. r Howard Drownell, attorney, with F. D. Wintori, for the prisoner, J.

Browncll simply walked into the office .and placed the paper on the dek in front of tlu Shcri(!and then walked out. This the Sheriff felt pretty confident was not good service a fur as be was concerned qua Sheriff and he therefore decided to make iio retmon the writ. When the matter came before Judge McBride at 4 o'clock the Sheriff appeared and also brought his prisoner. The Sheriff explained, what "his opinion was as to the service fof the writ iand why he had made qo return and he was upheld by Judge McBride who ruled that the Coroner should serve all papers on the Sheriff in spite of Mr. AVinton'g con struction of the law. -The Judge then asked on what authority the Sheriff de tained the prisoner and the Sheriff told hint it was on an information charging murder In the first degree filed on. the 3rd of June and sworn to by the Deputy Diatrict Attorney, John McCue, The Judge asked vftiere McCue was and on A(tec tkf ArthU oxret, AUex- tUe Smoke U spent, ManyV the coat tkct's ruined, Marvys the parx(r that's went!

The Judge aaid it was impossible, that it could to done before the first day of the. next term. Mr. Winton said, that it was imperative, that the prisoner's health demanded it, that he had been visited by Dr. Fulton Friday night and that he might die at eny time. The .Judge considering the prisoner' infirmity, and that,,, the term was so nearly over, said he would admit him to bail on $2500 bonds, and, would give him till Tuesday to find it. Bowlsbr was then returned to the! county jail by the Sheriff and big ate torneys set "about raising the bail.
