A BIG FIRS AT HALSEY.
Foot Building! Burned. It Suppoeed
. to Have Been of Incendi
ary Origan.
Information has reached tit that the
cltyofHalsty wat visited last Friday
morning by the most, teriout and big
gest fire In Its history. About one
o'clock flames were discovered issuing
from the larga,Aame store building
owned by T. J. Black, occupied as a
general merchandise store, by Stafford
Garrett, on the main street or tnai
city. When discovered, it was under
such headway that almost everything
was burned in the store, and very little
was gotten out of the adjoining store
occupied by Mr. Clyde McCoy as a
drugstore. The telephone apparatus
was got out just in time. The names
spread serosa the alley to the frame
arehout c lliie, lii:merly occupied as
an agricultural arehouse, and owned
by T. J. Black, then nearly empty. It
was also entirely (unturned. Koonts
dtPower, opposite MvCoy't, the other
general merchandise store was uuiu-
Jured. The fire was supposed to be in
cendiary, according to the reports.
ust how or where It started could not
be told, from the headway it had
gained. I fore It wat discovered.
All the buildings burned, together
with the losses and insurance areas
follows:
Stafford & Garrett, lost (12,000; in
sured for (9,000 in the Norlhwest, the
L. L. sod U. aud OermaD-American.
T. J. Blatk, building 2,000, partially
Insured.
Clyde McCoy, drug store, loss 11,500,
Insured for f 1,000 In the Suu of Lon
don; loss on building $800.
T. . Black, agricultural warehouse,
lots $1,000, no iusurauce.
John Cutumiug, warehouse office,
$400, no Insurance.
Very little of the contents was saved,
and it was only by hard work on the
part of the vttiiens who formed a buc
ket, brigade the flames were coutroled
and coufined to those buillugs. As
who the lncendsriee were, there
does nut seem to be any conclusive
evidence.
Not All in Need.
There are a great many In Nebraska
who are undoubtedly in needy circom-
stances, but there are a great many
more who will take advantage of the
oppertunlties and obtuln things they
do not need and are not worthy of: In
sending supplies for the relief ot the
destitute there, care should be taken to
send the same to responsible parties
who will .ee that the same Is distribu
ted where It will do good. The follow
ing item from the Oril, Nebraska,
Journal, was handed us yesterday.
"It Is stated that a man who drew an
order for relief from a township super
visor traded it out with one of our mer
chants, getting fancy groceries, canned
goods and the like, winding up with a
quart t's worth of apples. He stated
that he wanted the apples for mince
pies, whereupon the merchant mildly
said he ought to have a little vinegar
In order to season them right. At this
the fellow tapped bis pock.-t and said
vinegar was too course for him. He
had already provided a half-pint of
brandy for seasoning. The fellow was
a republican who was used to high liv
ing.

The O. P. Gale Confirmed.
The sale of the Oregon Pacific rait
road to Messrs. Bonner & Hainmoud
for $100,000 was confirmed lust Satur
day afternoon by Judge Fullertou. Ob
jection to the continuation were made
by J. K. Weittherford and WalliB
Hash, attorneys for the creditors and
certificate holders, on the ground that
the amount was inadequate, but the
court promptly overruled their objeo-
tious.
There was talk of appealing it to the
supreme court, but there is nothing In
the report.Mesf rs.BouuerA Hammond
are at present lu New York, but were
representen by Mr. Ed Stone of Port

The peoplu generally seem satisfied
with the result.
Mr. Clark will remalu receiver of
the road until discharged by the court,
which will not oocur until the $100,000
Is disbursed and lite oase is finally set
tled. When in Albany Mr. Bouner said
the new company would retain the
the present employe! of the road, and
tie also taid that as soon as the snow is
sufficiently out of tilt mountains they
would go over the line eastward to in
spect the proposed route preparatory
to extending the road into J? astern

A Qnecr Find.
I. Bltzer, the well known butcher,
tells of finding some strange things in
a cow's stomack the other day.
Among the things found were seven I
staples and a number of shingle nails,
tesids a small gold chain. The latter
evidently belong to a brest pin, and
what became of the pin Itself li un
known. Mr. Bitter purchased the
cow from Frank Benson, hut the latter
denies that he has been lu the habit of
feeding hit uow on gold chains, nails
end the like. At yet the owner of
the chain hat not been found.

A Bad Showing.
A railroad official told a business
man of Pendleton a few days ago that
during 1894 five hundred cars of meat
were shipped into the Northwest from
the East, the value of each car being
estimated at an average of $2,500. A
col siderable amount of this meal is
produced in the Northwest, sold to
Eastern markets and resblpped West
In the form of packing house products.
F. J. Miller, whose business in the
wholesale trade places him in a posi
tion to make authoritative statements
in this regard, estimates that out of
$300,000 worth or prov'sions purchased
by traders in Pendleton during a year,
$75,000, or one-fourth of the total
amount, Is paid to California for. pro
ducts that could be produced in this
elate. Tribune.

of the bondsmen of W. S. Thompson,
assignee'of the closed Bank of Oregon,

confronting lliein was this. By a de
cision rendered at the last session of
the circuit court it was held liable for
shout $2,700, which "'us not kept in

out contrary to the law and to the det
riment of the creditors. This amount

called upon to pay. They claim that

BUTTE, Mont., Jan. IT. Fire broke
out in the Butte Hardware com
pany's warehouse In the southern part
of the city at 9:50 o'clock lust night.
Ten minutes later a tci riflo explosion
of powder occurred, which "broke
nearly all the plate-glass windows in
the city a mile away, and shook the
buildings to their foundations. Fire
men who were fighting the flames at
the time were nearly all blown to
pieces. Two more explosions followed
at intervals of five minutes, each kill
ing and wounding numbers of men.
The excitement was intense. The fire
nttracted a large crowd. Hundreds
standing near the sei ne when the first
explosion occurred were cut down by
the terrible force of the explosion. -The
debris from the cars standing near the
warehouse and adjoining buildings
was scattered high In the air for a half
mile away, many flaming articles
striking people in the crowd and about
the city
At 9:55 o'clock the fire deDartment
responded to a call from box 72 the
call ef death to nearly the entire de-
pnrtn ent. The firemen heard a runn
that there was powder in the building,
hut this was denied and after a mo
ment's hesitation they began fighting
the fire. At 10 p. m., when the men
had harely started to work, an explo
sion shook Butte to its very founda
tions. Tha.bowder.ln. the warehouse

all near. All but three firemen were
killed. Heroes among the spectators,

mutilated bodies of the firemen and In

From all over the city the people be
gan moving toward the fire, and the
crowd had greatly increased within
five minutes.
The second' explosion" almost equal
in volume to the first, heigntened the
general terror, and spread death and
destruction at the disastrous scene.
In this explosion scons of citizens
were killed and injured. Parts of Ihe
of bodles'were hurled hundreds of feet
away. One man near the Northern
Pacific water-lank was struck by the
leg? and-.thlgh of a human helng,
driven by the force of the dynamite
from the fearful scene. Still, heroes
were left to pull theshrUkingwounded
and .groaning to a distance, but the
people of the town hesitated, There
had been more rumors of carloads of
powder in the vicinity besides that
stored In the warehouse. Fve minutes
later a third explosion did come, but It
was mild, injuring but f w,
All oecnred in fifteen minutes. The
awfulness of the scene after the explo,
sions is beyond description. It pre
sented the appearance of a field of bat

The cries and groans of the injured
and dying made the scene altogether
unearthly. Blood and brains were
spattered around, with here and there
pieces of flesh. Between the Northern

ground was literally covered with
parts of human bodies and with the
dead and inlured. It was a scene of
utter and absolute destruction,
Hojses iu Ihe vicinity wero
thoroughly wrecked as if by a cyclone.
One rescuing corps gathered twenty
seven dead bodies in one pile. Tho
rescuers pulled some bodies out still

ings were still groaning, whllo their
legs nnd arms had been torn oft'.
Shapeless trunks quivered and died in
the arms of Ihe living.
Every vehicle in the city was

the scores of dead and the hundreds of
