BAKER CITY, Or, Oct 31.-As a final climax to the many smaller fires which have caused uneasiness in this city recently, the elegant North Baker school building was destroyed by the incendiary's torch last night. causing a property loss of $20,000 with but $8500 insurance. The flames were first discovered under the cu pola and despite the work of the fire department the building was completely ruined. There is no clue to the criminal but the city is excit ed over the matter and should he be found it is probable that Mayor Johns' proclamation of several days ago, wherein he urged any citizen to shoot an incendiary on the spot, would be acted upon. Eight school rooms comprised the North Baker structure. It was one of four very fine school buildings in this city. FOOTBALL GAMES. Indiana 0, Illinois 10. Michigan 24, Vanderbilt 6.
