store Saturday night about midnigl
lit
lint was discovered before it trot un
der much, headway, although quite
heavy damage was done., mostly duo
to mnoke and chemicals used in c
tinguishlng the ftrc.
The fire is supposed to have start
ed from an electric iron which had
neeidently been left connected,, and
after awhile the heat in the iron uc
fnnin an infnnAO that the ironing
board and other things with which
it eamo in cntact were ignited
The building, which is known ns
the Fahy-Morrison building, icinf:
nwnnil bv F. W. Faby and J. A
Morrison, was slightly damaged, but
if tbo flro hud gotten under good head
way before it was discvered it would
iirnlmblv have taken tbo Oakes build
ing occupied by Carpenter & Son's
Racket store and the Bandon rower
Company on one sdo and the Pacific
rooming house on the other side would
hnvo gono and tho entire block would
have thus been endangered.
In talking with Mr. II. A. Mur
phy of the Bandon Dry Goods Com
pany, a representative of tho Rcc
order was informed that it would
take some little time to determine
to just what extent tho stock waf
damaged, as it was badly smoked up

chemicals. Tho loss was parti
covered by insurance.

ODS AT RAYMOND, WASH.
Raymond, Wash., May 4. Fire
bugs haveniado another attempt to
lire litis city, but were again unsuc
cessful because of the discovery of
the fire before it had done any dam
age. Tho Olympic club was the scene
of the latest attempt and the methods
were the same as those employed in
tbo attempt to burn the Case shingle
mill. Phosphorous and stilphcr'wns
poured into a leather "cushion in the
card room of the cigar store late in
the evening and would have probably
burstcd into flames sometime after
the store bad been closed, had not one
of the patrons sat on the cushion.
Finding the cushion warm it was op
ened, nnd when exposed to the air
burst into flame. The Olympic club
is located in tho heart of tho frame
building district. Fifteen hundred
dollars has been offered for tho ar
rest and conviction of the guilty per

ROOSEVELT PARTY HAS A
PERILOUS TRIP IN SOUTH.
New 'York, Mny 4. Anthony Fiala,
tho explorer, wlio was in charge of
0110 of the Roosevelt expeditions in
Brazil, has arrived home. Ho vivid
ly described the experiences of the
expedition, both before nnd after lie
separated from Colonel Roosevelt
and Kermit on February 4th.
Telling of his 400-milo journey u
cross country witli the party, Fiala
said: "At times wo were all forced
to dismout from our horses and cut
our -way witli knives through the
-dense undorgrowthr -When we-reach'
ed Matto Grosso wo rested for a cou
ple of days and then all went hunt
ing. In one party, which went for
tiger cats, wore the Koosuvclls, a
Brazilian Chief of Police, a Brazilian
Colonel and several natives. Kermit
I believe is mado of coiled wire all
bund up with bronze. He's tougher,
if such a thing is possible, than his
father. The party started out early
in tlie morning and pushed their way
all day through swamps filled with
crocodiles and snakes in. pursuit of u
tiger cat they had scared up. The
Brazilians did the best they could and
with the npgro boys kept up for sev
eral hours. But the pace set by the
Colonel, even in their own jungle, was
loo much for them Late at night a
boy returned to tlie camp qnd said
that tho Colonel and Kermit were
.ibout two miles oh" ,in tho jungle.
When they finally came out their
clothing was torn to shreds and their
arni3 and legs were bleeding in many
places. But they were carrying the
Brazilians guns ufid shoes.. Tho Bra
zilians hail quit and were lying on
their backs in a dry place recuporat-
ing. The cat got nway. The princi
pal (lithculty everyone in tho party
experienced was with tho food.
lost over 20 pounds in three weeks,
i bel ieve Colonel Roosvolt lost some
too. I never want to see another bean
Colonel Roosevelt; howover, ato many
01 uicin nnu ciidirt seom to mind.
Tho groat hazard in South American
exploration is tlie rapids nnd falls in
tho rivers. On tho Papagaio River,
after I had left tho Colonel, I had
with mo six canoes. At tlie Rapids
ot tho Devil we were simply sucked
under. Everybody and everything
went overboard. The natives, stark
naked, reached tho shoro with some
difllculty. I had been making a map
of tho river and hud a board ntcapped
to my wrist. That hindered mo some
and I wont down iovoral times. Fi
nally I grabbed a limb and readied
shoro. I Inter learned that Colonel
Roogevelt had also lost somo of his

ROCKEFELLERS THREATENED
BEQAUSE OF STRIKE ATTITUDE
New York, May 4. Threats of
violence have been made against
JohnD. Rockefeller, Jr., by demon
strators against what was declared
to bejhis policy in tho Colorado strike.
One woman tried to invade his olllcc
and when she was prevented - she
withdrew witli imprecations on her
lips, repeating in a speech outside
thrcajs sho had mnde within '-the
building of personal harm that would
comefto him if ho persisted in declin
ing to consent to arbitration in the
Colorado crisis. While Upton Sin
clair, Miss Eliznbeth Freeman, an
English militant suffragette, and Mrs.
Donio" Lietr.er,- pioneors in tho Free
Sileiulc movement, were being sent
to'tifto'roinbff,'pri3on for picketing,'
other pickcters wearing crepe on their
sleeves took their places. The pick
eting was kept up continually and
meetings were held in Bowling Green
nt which speakers reiterated charges
he was responsible for conditions in
the Ludlow district. Mr. Rockefeller
issued a statement tonight charac
terizing as "infamous" any illusion
to conditions in Colorado as "Rocke
feller's war." While Sinclair and oth
ers were having a two-hour hearing
in court, Mnrie Ganz, of the Indus
trial Workers of the World, was mak
ing fruitless efforts to see Mr. Rock
efeller. When attendants barred her!
from his ollice sho directed threats
against him, and walking into Bowl
ing Green Park, mounted a pile of
lumber and made a verbal attack 011
him. If ho failed to accept arbitra
tion with tho Government, sho cried
to a throng of-several thousand per
sons, he would be forced to arbitrate
with tho working people.
Tho crowd surged in close, shout
ed and throw sand. Someone hurled
a paving block in the direction of Al
exander Berkman, an nnarcliist, who
was making a speech also. Upton
Sinclair's wife was in front of Rocke
fellers office among tho pickcters,
some of whom wore ribbons with the
toxt "Thou shalt not kill."
