Due probably to some-defect as yet
unexplained, in the foundation for tha
wooden underpinning used as a tempor
ary support until steel columns could
be put In place,- a section of the brick
wall. 16 feet Wide, on the Sixth Street
sid of the remodeled eight story Mar
quam building, collapsed, suddenly at 4
o'clock tills morning, and at 11 o'clock
this forenoon another big section, of
the wall, ripping out floors and nearly
a scora of -offices as it went, crashed
into the street..
No one was hurt, in the double crash,
but that was due to the rarest fcood
luck. Had the wall collapsed in the
daytime instead of at night, there must
have ben many fatalities among the
occupants of the six offices that went
down in the first tumble.

The first collapse extended only as
high aa the fifth floor; but it left a
brick column cracked and tottering with

and threw a terrific strain on that un

Just before 11 o'clock, as hundreds
of curious persons were straining at the

ing ' seemed ; to crumble, w itn a roar
that was heard for wocks, a great ava-
l.nrh of bricks sank into, the street.
- Directly after the crash, an immense
cloud of brick, dust was hurled ;out-
a slight panic that ensued. Miss Wat

THIRTY PRECINCTS

Legislative Ticket and Circuit
Bench -Results May Be

Consternation and confusion strurfc
the political camps this morning when it
was learned that not less than 160, pos
sibly 200 or more illegal votes were
cast at the election in Multnomati
county,
The serious feature is that the illegal.
votes are scattered through many pre
cincts, possibly 20 or 30. and in case
of a contest these ballots could not be
segregated from others. . Tha only re
course, if the courts hold that these
votes cannot be counted, would be to
throw out the vote of every precinct
where such votes, appear, which would
mean many thousands of votes. '
'...s discovery opens the way for a
contest by George Tazwen for the place
on tne circuit bench awarded to George
N. Davis on the official count by 128
votes.; It might also alter the result on
the tail end of the legislative ticket, ,
where A. F. Flegel, Democrat, is only
128 ' behind Jay H. Upton, Republican.
These are the results most likely to be
affected by a contest, but there lurka
a possibility that still other1 results
might be overthrown. ,
