FORT W A YN E , Ind., May 5— Tcu known dead, many missing and 13 seri ously injured is the result of a fire that destroyed the new Avelina Hotel, Fort Wayne’s priucipnl hostelry, Sunday. Chief of Police Anckenbruck said that he believes 20 bodies were still in the ruins. The entire interior o f the building is a smoldering heap of ruins, and how many dead are concealed beneath the debris can only be conjectured. The hotel register was consumed by fire, ami there are no accurate means of deter mining who are missing. The complete destruction of the in terior of the hotel makes the work of recovering bodies a difficult task. A confused heap of charred wood, bricks and twisted girders is piled up be tween the bare wails to the second story. Piece by piece this must be re moved before the roll of the dead can be completed. Some of the bodies taken out are mangled and charred be yond recognition. Infantry Company D ami Battery D of the National Guard are on duty, ami aiding the fire and police forces to clear away the debris. The hotel was erected 50 years ago, and the woodwork was dry as tiader. It burned like matchwood, and within a few minutes from the time the fire was discovered the whole of the hotel was a mass of flames that filled the corridors and rooms with suffocatiug clouds of smoke that laid fiery barriers across all moans of escape save by the windows.

I.ukeview— A fte r the most open winter that soutbeustern Oregon baa ever experienced this section is now enjoying a spring that Insures wealth to her people. At no time during the paBt winter did the thermometer In Lake county register a temperature below zero, and most o f the time balmy spring-like weather prevailed. There were but few flurries of snow, and these melted away before a warm sun. The resuit was that but little feeding was required, stock general ly finding excellent range during the entire winter, and the end of winter finds sufficient feed on hand to tide the stock interests through a hard winter, even If no hay should be put up this season. On the desert sheep men have re ported an ideal winter, with just enough snow to furnish water for stock, and with plenty of feed to put sheep In excellent condition. As the vast desert lying east of Goose Lake Valley Is the feeding-ground for tho thousands of head of sheep that con stitute a large portion of the wealth of Lake county, a winter like the one Just ended means an addition to the profit column. Since the new year began there has been but little rain and practi cally no snow. Crops of every kind were put In early, and already there is an excellent growth in everything that depends upon spring weather. CROPS LO O K WELL. Bold Robbers Hold Up Train Clot to Pittsburg Pittsburg, May 1.— Tw o train- robbers, who evidently buurded the New York and St Louis express, on the Panhandle railroad of the Penn sylvunla system, at the Union 9t tlon lu this city, when that train lefi at 10:50 tonight, ten minutes late, overpowered the express messenger and got away with four bags of cur rency, containing an amount of money as yet unknown. The rob bery was committed near W alker's Station, a particularly lonely and. is olated spot in a rough section of country about I I miles west of the city. The train, one of the fastest on the road, which Is not scheduled to stop between here and Steubenville, O., was brought to a sudden halt by an emergency Bignal from the bell cord, and when W illiam Lafferty, the conductor, went forward to learn the trouble he found N. Roshen, the Adams Express messenger, bound and gagged in the express car and so frightened that he could not give any connected report o f what had happened. Except that both of the robbers were white, the express mes senger Is unable to give an identi fication that would aid the secret service forces o f the railroad com panies and the city and county de tective force, all of whom have been called out to work-on the case. Conditions Are Fxcetlent Throughout Josephine Coumy. G RANTS PASS__ The geuernl devel opment and progress of farm work in Josephine County has beeu far-reaching during the winter mouths, and the open ing of spring has found many acres ready for fruit trees anil berries, which will be set out. A splendid rain has lie u falling, and this will increase tho hay crop and late sown grain, and gives assurance of heavy yields. A trip over tho county shows that an enormous amount of work has been going on in clearing land and planting out orchards, besides much has beeu accomplished in other directions toward developing tho farming communities. A never-failing crop for this part of Rogue River Valley is the strawberry, which grows everywhere, and will pro duce two revenue crops each year, ow ing to the climatic conditions. This is a feature unknown to Hood River rais ers, and perhaps to any other part of the state. It is not an unusual sight to see berries almost all the year around; in fact, they are on the market from May until Christmas. \\ ith the industrial hum and swing felt everywhere, the prospects for the futuro were never better.

TRAIN IS DYNAMITED Burlington Express Wrecked at Butte, Montana. MAIL CAR IS BADLY SHATTERED Engineer Killed tnd Firemen Terribly Scalded— ’ robably Vengeful Work o f Hoboee. Butte, Mont., May 2.— Eastbound Burlington train No. 6, due In Butte at 11:30 o’clock tonight, was dyna mited about a mile west of the Northern Pacific station at 11:37 o’clock. The explosion caused the first or helper engine to leave the rails, but It plowed along for a few hundred feet without turning over. The second engine crashed into the bank south of the track a few car- lengths from where the explosion occurred. Every person ?n the train has been accounted for excepting E ngi neer Bussey, o f the second engine, who is supposed to be burled under hls locomotive. Carl Mange, who was riding on the blind baggage, had to be taken from the mass of timbers under which he was burled. Hls arm and leg were broken. Fireman George Ehle, of the second eugine, was badly scalded. Both were hurried to the hospital In the police patrol, which was at the scene o f the wreck, as quickly as possible after the men were re ceived In the city. Locom otive No. 2100, in charge of Engineer Bussy and Fireman Ehle, is lying on Its side south of the track. The mall car, which was right be hind it, was hurled on its side and badly wrecked. A cold storage fish car was next to the mall car, and it was smashed Into kindling wood. F ollow ing the fish car was the ex press car. Only the front trucks of the express car left the rails. The baggage car also remained on the track. The general theory o f the explo sion Is that the dynamite was placed directly on the rails, but it is impos sible to say whether a time fuse or some sort of percussion cap was at tached to the explosive. Those who ¡aw the flash agree It came from the south side o f the track. The dynamiting is believed by the officers to be the work pi some hobo seeking revenge for being ejected from a train. Express Messenger J. B. Valentine was seriously bruised, being badly cut by a flyin g grenade. His escape from death in his car is considered miraculous. The force of the explosion was terrific. According to the crew of the first engine the engine was lifted bodily off the track. A ID ] D t H O f iilu R i. Jonv'cied Banker Telit Where Secur ities Are Hidden San Francisco, April 29.— J. Dal- zell Brown, vice president and man ager of the California Safe Deposit A Trust company, who Is under sen tence o f 18 months In San Qulntln for embezzling securities held In trust by the Trust Company, today gave Information to E.

They expressed themselves as san guine that the receiver would secure possession of the property, which is Western Pacific stock of the value of $1,000,000 at par, and in another year or 18 months the stock will have a definite* market value. Brown a L o gave up the cipher code book used by himself, W alter J. Bartnett and John and James Tread well. This code was secret and or iginal, each o f its owners having a copy. Cook said unhesitatingly that it contained the key to letters which had been In possession of Brown, to whom they were written by Bartnett and the Treadwells.

Santa Barbara, Cal., April 29.— There were no fixed features on Santa Barbara’s entertainment pro gram In honor o f the Atlantic bat tleship fleet today, the officers and men being largely allowed to pursue their own ways. Many of the latter went to Los Angeles to spend the day, and w ill over-stay their leaves, which expire at 1 a. m. The amusemests offered the blue jackets In Santa Barbara are natur ally rather meager, owing to the size of the city, and consist largely of flying horses, shooting galleries and a large variety of catch-penny affairs, brought here for the occasion. Dancing on the canvas-covered as- phalton, the ocean boulevard, each evening, is the only picturesque fea ture o f the bluejackets’ entertain ment. They seem to enjoy it hugely, however, and when the available supply o f eligible girls gives out they dance with each other. It Is no easy task to provide partners for 1000 or more dancing sailors. For the officers today, there was a garden party ard In the evening a dance. A number of luncheons and tea parties on the battleship were given to the junior officers.
