Prcbab'y Dead at Foil
Wayne, Indiana.
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.

Early 8p Ing.
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.

Bold Robbers Hold Up Train Clot

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.

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

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.

The mall car, which was right be

car was next to the mall car, and it
was smashed Into kindling wood.
F ollow ing the fish car was the ex

the express car left the rails. The

track.
The general theory o f the explo

Chief Amusement for Navy While at
Santa Barbara.
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.
