Just three minutes before Friday
the thirteenth had passed into the
yesterdays, firo broke out In tho
skating rink on West Webb street
and before its ravaging career was
checked had completely destroyed
that building and its contents, had
consumed the Oregon Feed Yard,
twelve horses many vehicles and a
largo quantity of feed, threatening
many adjoining buildings and done
damage amounting to approximately
J IS. 000. It was the largest fire tho
city has experienced for a number
of years and but for the heroic ef
forts of the volunteer flro depart
ment, might have been much more
disastrous. The origin of the flames
la unknown.
The loss was partly covered' by In
surance, George Haw, owner of the
skating rink carrying $1500 on the
building, and $14'0 on the contents
with Bentley & Leffingwell. while
Charles I. Harnett, owner of the feed
yard, carried $2400 on his building',
$1200 each with ltentley & Leffing
well anil Mark Mooihoase. Luther
Itich. who' had Just leased the yard
lx weeks ago from J. C. MeConnell,
carried $375 Insurance on the con
, tents.
A In rin Houses City.
It was just ft. minute or so before
the midnight hour that tho flames
were discovered and hardly had the
tolling of the clock In the courthouse
tower stopped before the clanging
alarm of the flrebell and the shrieks
of a switch engine whistle told the
city that a conflagration was raging.
Within a space of five minutes, the
flame had spread with such incred
ible rapidity that by the time tho fire
companies had arrived on the scene,
tho whole block was enveloped in a
sea of fiercely burning flames.
Muii Suvix Eight Horses.
Carl Churchill, night bartender at
the Hotel Pendleton, was one of the
first to reach the scene of the con
flagration and although the fire had
by that time completely enwrapped
tho feed yard, he rushed to where
he saw a row of horse tied to blazing
mangers. L'nhecdful of the peril to
lilmelf, he rushed from one to an
other to release tin m and In a few
moments had turned eight of tho
animals loose. All but one of these
dashed out of the burning building
but many were badly burned or
scorched and one with Its eyes gone
and Its whole head burned was hu
manely shot by Officer Kearney. Af
ter liberating the e eight, Churchill
was struck by a live wire and so bad
ly burned about the neck and hands
that he was forced to retreat.
Eleven other horses, all belong
Ing to farmers spending the night In
tho city, perished In the fire and
their carcasses burned to a crisp.
were found In the ruins this morn
Ing. One large white mule, which
had been liberated by Churchill
dashed out of the flames at one en
trance, then wheeled and ran back.
finally emerging out of another en
trance, badly scorched.
Fully a dozen buggies, hacks and
drays were consumed In tho feed
yard as well as considerable hay and
grain and a carload of potatoes which
had Just been stored there during the
past few days by D. Bowman, With
tho skating rink, several hundred
pairs of skates nnd a $1700 automatic
piano and a $700 hardwood floor were
destroyed.
Flro I-nddlcs Work Hard.
Much credit is duo to the volun
teer firemen for their splendid work
In preventing tho spread of the
flames beyond the ono block. The
fire had gained such great headway
by the time they arrived that it was
seen at onco that tho rink and feed
yard could not bo saved and tho dif
ferent companies began playing their
streams on tho houses and other
buildings In the Immediate vicinity.

JUSTICE HARLAN.
SUPREME COURT. DIES
Attack of Bronchitis Ends
Career
I)lsaKiiitcd Over Failure of Taft to
Mtiko Him Supremo Justice Hastens
End.
Washington D. C, Oct. 14. Asso
ciate Justice John M. Harlan, of the
United States supremo court, sue-
cum bed at hls home in this city at
7:15 o'clock this morning to an ill
ness of only a few days, due to acute
bronchitis, which began only last
Monday with a slight cold.
Only Justice John Marshall, ex
ceeded the term of service of Justice
Hai lan, who, had he. lived until next
srring, would have established a new
record.
Justice Harlan's lite ambition was
to be chief Justice of the United
States supreme bench and when Pres
ident Taft appointed Justice White to
tho chief Justiceship, Justice Harlan's
health immediately began to fail and
he weakened and aged rapidly.
Owing to his 'advanced age, 78
years, Just'ce Harlan's death was not
unexpected by his family and friends
and members of liis family were at
his bedside when he breathed his last.
Justice Harlan was the dean of
United States Justices, his term being
tho longest in the history of the
country with one except it.n "His
trm was thirty-four years.
By the death of Judge Harlan, It
is necessary for President Taft to
make an appointment to tho supreme
court tjent'h. which will be the fifth
selection for the president chief ex
ecutive, nnd will make President
Taft's selection a majority of the su
preme bench.
Justice Harlan came Into the lime
light only a few weeks ago when ho
raised the one d'H-enting voice
against the supreme court ruling in
the case of the Standard Oil and To
bacco trust, in which a word was In
serted into the Sherman anti-trust
law.
TAFT BREAKS FRISCO
San Francisco, Cat., Oct. 14. Sym
bolical of tho scope and magnificence
of the Panama-Pacific exposition
ground at the Stadium, President Taft
this afternoon broke the ground for
the structure with elaborate cere
mony.
Flanked by hundreds of represen
tative citizens from every part of
California and under the glittering
glare of the army and naval displays,
the president drove a silver spade in
to the ground and turned the first
grain of dlra as a bugle sounded
nnd tho United States flag rose to
the top of a mast as a battery of ar
tillery boomed. A brass band played
national anthems and the crowd
cheered Itself hoarse.
Preceding the speech of the presi
dent, Governor Johnson, Mayor Mc
Carthy and President Moore of the ex
position, delivered brief addresses.

New York, Oct. 14. With Muggsy
McGraw, manager of the New York
Giants, and Connie Mack, of the Phil
adelphia Athletics, each confident
that their respective teams will win
the first game of the world's baseball
championship series, which is to be
played in this city this afternoon,
thousands of fans were ready early
for the cry of "play ball."
The day dawned cool and cloudy,
but the indications were that the
weather would be Ideal for baseball
this afternoon.
It has become known that each of
the two leading teams of the Nation
al and American leagues have adopt
ed a new code of signals to be used
during the seven championship
games.
More than fifty thousand people
were inside the park, while roofs of
surrounding buildings and telegraph
peles were crowded.
Eager for a chance to see the first
game, the bleacherettes began gath
ering in the park last midnight and
when the gates for this section of the
grounds opened, 10,000 filed in to the
park, leaving 5,000 disappointed fans
on the outside when the last ticket
was sold at 11 o'clock.
Thousands were lined up at the
gates early this morning, anxious to
secure a seat and wait many hours
for the game to start. A flood of
counterfeit ticket delayed the ad
mission to the grounds for a short
time.
The American pennant winners are
entering the supreme contest slightly
weakened, as a bum wrist will keep
First Baseman Stuffy Mclnnis from
the game and probably all during the
series Harry Davis, the veteran first
sacker, will take his place, but he is
not showing his old time ginger.
Would Expel! Giants.
New York. Oct. 14. President Ban
Johnson of the American league, who
also is a member of the National
Baseball commission, said today he
would vote for the expulsion of tho
New York Giants from the National
league, if it could be shown the club
had anything to do with allowing
speculators to get tickets to tho
world series.
