WOMAN FROM ATHENA DIED
The news of the first death of a Umatilla county resident In the
San Francisco disaster has Just reached this city. Charles A. Barrett
of Athena, has just received a letter from San Francisco, saying that
his sister, Miss Fannie Barrett, who lived with him in Athena for a
number of years, died from heart failure at the time of the first
earthquake shock In San Francisco on Wednesday, April IS.
Miss Barrett had been living with another sister, Mrs. E. H. Hook,
In San Francisco, and when the first shock came, Mrs. Hook and
her daughter left the house In fright. Miss Barrett remained in bed
and when her Muter returned after the shock was over, she found
Miss Barrett dead. She was not injured in any way as the house was
not badly wrecked and evidently died from fright and heart failure.
Miss Barrett lived with her brother In Athena for a number of
years and left here several months ago to live with her sister in San
Francisco. She was about 30 years of age and was well known In
this city and Athena.

San Francisco, April 18. The with
drawals of troops from the burned
district In section 4, where Chinatown
once stood, was followed by a raid of
looters upon the ruins. Men ana
women by hundreds began to. work
in the hot ashes in sea roll of loot.
Some searchers met with great suc
cess. Several pieces of valuable china
were found Intact; also costly bronses
and other metal work. One woman
found a piece of gold worth several
thousand dollars, supposed to Ve colt
which was melted by the Intense heat
Blackmailing Regulars.
Ugly stories are In circulation con
cerning the conduct of some regular
troops. For the most part these sol
diers have been highly . praised, but
several guards on the reservation at
Fort Mason are alleged to have made
use ot their positions to compel the
panic-stricken refugees to give up
money.
It is charged, and the accusation Is
supported by several persons, that
while the Ctilnese were fteetng from
the rapidly advancing tlames and
were on their way to tak the boat at
Ihe government wharf at Fort Mason
Tor Oakland, they were compelled to
pay 5 each to cross the government

Greeley Wants More Troops-
Washington, April 26. The war de
partment has received this message
from General Grar.ley this morning:
"I desire to especially call the at
tention of the secretary of war and
chief of staff to the necessity for ad
ditional troops. Not only is the fsree
now here inadequate to guard the in
terests of the cite but they have been
necessarily overworked In the post
overtaxed days. The distances are
simply enormous. The condition de
mands military action and can be
subserved only by sending as large a
force of mounted men as practicable.
"The spirit and conduct of the offi
cers and men "have maintained the
high standing of American army, and
a continuance of the physical stress
and mental responsibility is not ad
visable In the .present high tension of
affairs." ,
Will Probably Get More Troops.
Twenty-five hundred additional
troops will probably be ordered to

uation materially. Even the Cake
supporters do not expect to overcome
the lead of 427 which Bourne now has.
Cake started out of Multnomah
county with a lead of 2055 over
Bourne. However, the latter lessen
ed this by majorities from over the
state. Finally the returns from the
Interior counties arrived, and they
placed. Bourne in the lead. Gilliam

county gave Bourne 145, while Cake
received but 66 votes. Sherman was
carried by Cake by a majority of 26,
but Crook gave Bourne 242, while
Cuke received but 92. The vote of
Grant county was 188 for Bourne and
65 for Cake. Should Harney and
Malheur counties prove as friendly to
Bourne as did the other "cow" coun
ties, his lead over Cake will be still
further increased.
If the sentiment expressed In Pen
dleton Is Indicative of the feeling
throughout the state, Jonathan Bourne
will be defeated In the June election.
Ever since the receipt of the news of
Bourne's success yesterday afternoon,
the subject has been freely discussed
around the business portion of the
city, and tho general sentiment Is
anti-Bourne. Republicans and demo
crats alike have expressed regret over
the outcome and have prophesied the
election of Gearln.
Colonel J. H. Raley, who has Just
returned from Portland, said this
morning:
"Gearln will defeat Bourne In the
June election. The feeling In Port
land Is the same as here, that Bourne
should be turned down. Thousands of
republican votes will be cast for Gear
In in June. I don't think another
republican will come out Independ
ently." Many others have expressed the
same sentiments, and should the race
In June be between Bourne and Gear
In, there Is every Indication of a cam

same a nuisance and to order that the
Jacks be stabled outside the city lint
