A gang of about 30 gypsies are en
camped just outside of the city limits,
and there they will probably stay, or at
least that is as near town as they will
come. The city marshal notified them
that if they came into the town begging
and telling fortunes be would arrest
them, and that settles them. Their
leader stated he only wanted to remain

BURNED TO DEATH.
San Francifco Markets.
Trading in wheat continues to be slow.
Buyers bid lower, owing to the state of
the English market. Very little new
wheat has been forwarded to tide-water,
holders being willing to hold back sup
plies until the season is further ad
vanced. Exporters seem to prefer oper
ating in new to old stock, and the in
quiry is decidedly in favor of the former.
The new season starts in with a compar
atively small amount of engaged ton
nage, which would indicate that the
earlier months will develop a slow
movement, and that the position of the
ade is a halting one. Exporters evince
aj cautious disposition, as if to anticipate
yants as little as possible, and that
there will be less of a speculative char-
uierxo ueaung ana more oi a legitimate
mess, based on a fair profit and
qnick sales. At the Produce Exchange
the feeling was very conservative, and
operations largely guided by the situa
tion abroad, to the neglect of local con

What is said to be the greatest oil dis
covery ever made is reported from Alas
ka. Some gold prospectors several
months ago ran across what seemed to
be a lake of oil. The lake was fed by in
numerable springs, and the surrounding
mountains were full of coal. They

A local company was formed and experts

than borne out the frret reports. It is
said there is enough oil and coal in the
discovery to supply the world. It is
clos-fco the ocean ; in fact, the experts
say that the oil oozes out into the salt
water. It is said that the Standard Oil
company bas already made an offer for
the property. The owners have filed on

A blazing cottage, the charred remains
of her two youngest children showing
through the smoke and flame as the roof
fell in, her three other children suffering
from burns, standing ' in their night
clothing, sobbing and wringing their
hands in dismayed agony over the fate
that bad overtaken their two youngest
brothers, such was the scene presented
to Widow Besseeen, of Linnton, as at
midnight last night she left a neighbor's
house and reached her own.
The widow Bessenen's home is not at
Linnton proper, but some two miles be
low on the river bank, near the Phillip
postoffice. Mrs. Bessesen had been in
vited to spend the evening at a neigh
bor's some 300 yards distant from her
own home, where a pleasant festivity in
commemoration of some event in the in
viting family's household was to be cele
brated. Affairs of this sort are rare in
the sparsely settled section of conntry of
which Phillip postoffice is the center,
and the widow accepted the invitation
with pleasure.
She is the mother of five children,
aged respectively 12, 9, 6, 4 and 2 years
of age. Carefully tucking the little ones
in their beds, shortly after 8 o'clock, she
started for the neighbor's bonse. antici
pating an evening of enjoyment, and be
lieving that her brood left at home would
as usual drop off into the dreamless sleep
of childhood and continue to slumber un
til her return.
The widow was mistaken. To cele
brate the Fourth of July the children
bad been supplied with firecrackers.
These bad not all been exploded on the
Fourth and what were left were stored
on the shelf of the pantry, much to the
chagrin of the children, who wished to
continue the shooting of the firecrackers
as long as one was left. The absence of
the mother gave them the opportunity.
Becoming assured that she had reached
the neighbor's house, the three elder
children stole out of bed and climbing to
the firecrackers, dragged them from the
pantry shelf and began exploding the
sqoibB in the kitchen. With the last
fuse lighted and the pop of the cracker
sounding, the children stole back into
bed and were soon asleep. Shortly be
fore midnight the eldest child, a boy of
12 years, was awakened by the room fill
ing with smoke. Half suffocated, and
gasping for breath, the lad tumbled from
bis bed and awakened the two children
nearest him. By this time the lad was
dizzy and faint, and dragging the chil
dren after bim, made his way toward the
kitchen door. As he reached the ball
the whole structure burst forth in flame,
and it was but by bis last effort that
young Bessenen managed to get his
brother and sister into the open air.
In the interior of the blazing structure
there yet remained the two baby boys,
4 and 2 years old. The eldest boy made
a desperate struggle to reach ' them
through the front of the cottage. He
was driven back by the flames ana

By this time the glare of the burning

neighbor's house wheie sat Widow Bes
sesen enjoying herself. In a moment
the place was emptied, the frantic widow
leading the race across the 300 yards of
road to her blazing cottage. She arrived
DBt in time to catch a view of her two
babies, lying on their cots, the angry
flames curling about them, and then the
roof fell in, burying them beneath a
mass of blazing rafters and shingles,
from which, when extracted, it is prob

Kirn's Body Found.
After hours of labor the body of Kirn,
the Albina grocer, who fell over the pre
cipice at Mt. Hood, was recovered Tues
day night. W. A. Langille and five
others were six hoars in getting the
body to the Inn. It lay in a very dan
gerous place, and .bad to be dragged at
the end of a rope for quite a distance,
before it could be picked up. It was
then carried for quite a distance on a
litter, and finally was put on a pack
horse. Had the body slid 40 feet farther
it would have gone into a deep crevasse,
from which it could not have been re
covered. Indeed ft was only owing to the big
heartedness and intrepidity of Will Lan
gille that the body was eyer found, for
he risked his life in following Kirn's
trail to where he plunged over the pre
cipice. In no other way could the body
have ever been found. Coroner Butts
held the inquest, from which it will be
seen that Kirn fell not 400, bat between
800 and 900 feet. The jury's verdict is
as follows :
Cloud Cap Inn, July 13, 1897.
We, the undersigned juror b, duly
sworn by W. H. Butts, coroner of Wasco
county, to examine the body and inquire
into the cause of the death of one Fred
erick Kern, do hereby find that the de
ceased came to bis death by falling from
a point 400 or 500 feet from the summit
of Mt. Hood, a distance of 800 or 900 feet
to the head of the Newton Clark Glacier,
the same being on the southeast side of
Mt. Hood. The body was found lying
face down on the snow, with both legs
and his neck broken and several bad
cuts on bis head. We also find deceased
to be a resident of Portland, Oregon, oc
cupation unknown.
