Victoria, U. 0., May 23. Tho mala
portion of tho city of Dawson was do
strayed by Aro on Apt II 20, causing
loss of 1,000.000. In all. Ill build
ings, including tho British North
America bank, wero hnred. Tho newa
was brought down by T. S. Humes, n
son of Mayor Humus, of Seattloj J.
Toklas and a third party, who left
Dawson April 27. and made their way
out by canoo to Lake Lebarge, and then
over tho Ice, having a moat perilous
trip.
Toklas ropotta that tho flro occurred
in tho vory heart of tho business center
of the city, beginning near tho opera
houso, on tho water front, and spread
ing with unusual rapidity. It was
drivon by n strong north wind, destroy
ing everything in its way on thnt streot
down to nnd including Donahue &
Smith's establishment.
Tho tiro then took in nil of the water
front buildings abreast of the samo
blocks. It crossed tho street, burned
throu.h nnd spread over to Second
Btteot, covering tho principal business
nortlon of Dawson, leaving it all in
iiBhes, with the lliemuu helpless and
powerless to do anything.
Tho fiio consumed everything front
Tinimin'a Royal cafo down to and
opposite tho Fairviow hotel, tho build
ings boing aa dry as timber, ino
flumes spread with such rapidity that
tho pcoplo bocamo punicstrlckon nnd
unable to save anything in tho way of
furniture, goods nnd clothing. Among
tho most prominent of tho firms burned
out wero tho Bank of British Notth
America, tho Canadian Bank of Com
merce, McLollan & McFeeley, ot Vic
toria, Vancouver and Dawson; the
Parsons Produce Company, of Winni
peg; tho Royal cafo, Donnhuo & Smith,
tho Aurora saloon, tho Uodena, tno
Madden house, the Victoria hotel, the
McDonald block and the California ox-
ohango.
There ia a famino in nil kinds or
building material aa a result of tho
fire. Tho few articles still remaining
outside of tho burnt district have quad
rupled in prices. Doors are soiling for
?35 each, d rlocks ?8 each, and every
thing else in proortioii. .Nothing In
the way of rebuilding can bo dono un
til tho opening of navigation, Eevoral
weeks from now, as there is not over
8,000 feet of lumber in tho place.
Tho firo waa caused by n drunken
woman upsetting a lamp in a disorderly
honse.
Nono of tho big warehouses wero
touched by tho fire, so there will be no
shortago of provisions, even if the lakes
should not open beforo tho middle of
Juno, which is now predicted.
Provisions hnvo not advanced in
price, nor clothing, the companies bo
ing determined apparently to do nil in
their power to relievo the general dis
tress. A conservative estimate of the
loss is $1,000,000. This is based on
Klondike valuations. This is tho third
large firo that visited Dawson.

"If wo give up our arms wo aro at

Chicago, May 2 1. Knglowood had a
teal bull tight Sunday, and tho mala
dorH, two boys. Willie ltelnlg and
George Jessup, uairowlv escaped with
their lives.
For somo timo the two boys hnve
been rending Spanish literature telling
of bull fights, and they concluded they
wanted to bo matadors. Reinig'
father is the owner of n big black
Hereford bull with abort horns which
havo neon capped with brnss knobs.
Tho nniinal is kept in it pasture near
Seventy-eighth anil Wood street. Sat
urday Reinig nnd Jessup met by ap
pointment ami laid their plans. This
done, tliuv talked over the matter as
to who among their boy friends should
bo allowed to witnocss tho "real
thing." It was finally decided that
20 of their boy friends should be let
into tho secret, and they wero told that
the contest would take place Sunday.
Promptlv the invited guests and tho
two principles put in an appearance at
tho pasture. Reinig was armod witlt
an old swoid, while Jessup had manu
factured a sword out of an old corn
knifo with a handle of wood. Reinig
claimed the right to tho first title with
tho beast.
At a given signal from Henry Nel
son, ono of the boys, who was to act as
referee, Reinig advanced into tho field.
Ho had gone but n little way when the
animal charged upon him. Tho on
slaught was too much for Reinig's
prowess, and he was tossed high into
the air. He hiudod in a oorner of tho
fence, more dead than alive. His
shoulder-blado was broken nnd one of
tho horns had gouged a hole in his
nrm. Jessup saw tho predicament of
his companion nnd rnn to his assist
ance. Tho hull met his onslaught
with loworod head, and beforo tho boy
had timo to realize what had hap
pened, he, too, was tossed high over
tho fence and into a ditch.
Botli boys were taken homo nnd n
dootor was called. He said the injuries
wero serious, but not necessarily fatal.

Pendleton, May 23. David Casey, an
experienced livestock miser, has found
a plant which ho declares has been
killing so ninny sheep hoieabouts,
when nil tho timo sheepmen thought
it was somo other plant. It kills lioga
and cattle, horses not being injured for
tho reason that they mastlcato what
thoy eat, and the notion of tho glands
sorves to exclude the poisonous sub
stanco from tho mouth boforo it gets
into tho stomach. Tho plant resem
bles a wild onion, tho long groen
loaves, however, drooping und not
standing orect, its in the caso of tho
onion. It has also a yellow blossom,
lhe plant comes up in tho spring be
fore any other vegetation, says Mr.
Casey, and tho livestock eat it for that
reason. For somo timo thoro have
been numoious deaths of livestock from
eating somo plant, and it has boon
said thnt tho poisonous snbstanco was
in tho form of a grass. From hia oh
servations, Mr. Casey believes ho has
found tho most dnngorotia plont to
livestock intoreBts thnt growa in this
section. It will bo sont to tho Oregon
