Lafayptte, Tnd., July 2. Eight persons narrowly sscuped death at 7 a. ra. in a Ure Avhieh swept through the building at 212-214-210 Main street, caused by the explosion of a gasoline stove on the third fioor. Three of the tenants were badly burned and two of them are in a serious condition. The damage to the building is $.",000. Several families are left homeless. The fire started in the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Ioolittle, In the east front room. Doolittle was sitting at the breakfast table and his wife was preparing food on the gasoline stove Always Happens "Suddcnl y." Suddenly there was an explosion, and a mass of flame shot up from tlx? stove, which stood beside a partition at the head of a narrow stairway, ha only means of egress from the third floor. Mrs. Doolittle ran out, but her husband was cut o!f by the flames, lie picked up a bucket of water and lashed it against the fire and turned

the flames in the opposite direction and escaped. Wasted Very Valuable Time. In an adjoining room, on the east ehle of the building, Joseph Oslxirne. a spiritualist medium, aged S. years, who lives at Remington, was sleeping, with his son, Charles Osborne. They were awakened by the noise and could have escaped easily, but Uie elder Osborne tried to save a set of bodes and a sachel containing money and securities. Both men, in their nljzht robes, made their way down the stairway. They were badly burned. Had to Slip Through Flames. In a rear room Theodore Tolen. a peanut render, was sleeping. He :s a cripple, but managed to slip through the flames, receiving only a few injuries, although his hair was nearly all burned off. Ethel Andersci. a yoimg girl, was saved by her brother, Clifton Anderson, who worked heroically. They were both asleep when the fire broke out. The girl was afraid to enter the hallway, which was la flames. Saved Her IJfe by Force, ner brother forced her to throw a skirt around her and run to the stairway. There he shoved her down tli stairs, and she landed at the bottom with only a few bruises. Young Anderson was the last person to leave the third floor, and he stooped beneath the flame and was uninjured.

when the assessor of Cass township

was listing property for taxation purposes, several people along the foothills on White river drove their dogs from home that they might escape taxation. The dogs tcok to the hills and soon became wild. They made dens under craigs. where they lemained during the day, prowling at night In the lowlands for food. The dogs multiplied very fast, and in a short time there were two dozen and more. Their raids beeame more frequent, and from killing geese. ducks and pigs, they began feeding on larger-sized hogs and sheep, and In several instances calves were pulled down and eaten. Then the farmers began a relentless war on the dogs, and aft.r several "round-ups" all of them are be.lleved to have been shot

One r f the most peculiar chicken freaks that l as come to the notice of chi ken raise--s 'n this vicinity is a bantam rooster, owned by Charles Wright, living two' miles south of Elwood, on th.? Pleasant Hill pike. The bantam has a spur on its head where the comb ought to be. which is larger than the horny points on its legs.

The soldiers fired Into the union hall before there was any firing from the hall, but several hundred rifles, three barrels of ammunition and a stock of provisions were found in the hall. He also found photographs of two nonunion men with crosses marked on th back, which he understood meant that they were to be murdered. Letters from McParland say that tha Colorado authorities have done many things thatareunconstitutlonal in dealing with the strikers. Friedman testified that the Mine Owners association was not a client of the Pinkerton agency in r.t03-i-r. so far as he knew, but that individual mine owners employed detectives.

reporting all proceedings

Keports Not Sensational. None of the reports produced by Friedman and read to the jury by Darrow contained other than general references to the collateral issues of the trial, nor did they contain anything sensational, but they were offered in

substantiation of the counter-claim of '

the defense' that the Pinkerton agency conspired for the destruction of the Western Federation of Miners and the lives of its leaders. The prosecution offered no opposition to any feature of Friedman's testimony, and no objection to the introduction of any one of the documents that the defense obtained through him, and we en Friedma" was handed over for cross-examination it endeavored to ascertain if Friedman had any more reports or let-

fters bearing on the general issue.

Charged with Stealing Documents. It attacked Friedman on the ground that he had played the Pinkertons false, had violated his pledge to them and had stolen the documents which he produced, but the witness would

board.

M. E. White, an organizer for thWestern Federation, was the last witness and brought the trial participants back to great good humor with the drollest kind of a tale, of his arrest by the mitilia with all the pomp ami ceremony of war times, the activities of the vermin in the bull pen. and his happy release by a brother Woodman cf the World who commanded the militia.

i vounsei tor the defense said that j they might succeed in finishing with all of their witnesses except Ilaywool

and Mover by the end of the week. Their plan is to reserve those two principals for the last. The defense ,las prepared its draft of instructions and the state is working up its rebuttal case, so that the end of the trial approaches. Some of the testimony given In the reports was that A. G.Cratias, a Pinkerton, was so high in the Federation that he had charge of distributing relief to the strikers. He reports doing this so as to cause, dissatisfaction among the strikers, which he would try to turn upon Haywood. J. N.

Washington, July 2. Secretary or War Taft has thrown additional light upon his plans respecting the United States evacuation of Cuba by sending the following cablegram to Governor Ma goon at Havana: '"I am in receipt of a telegram from General Loinaz Castillo as to somethin? I have said with reference to the restoration of Cuba to the republic. The plan for the devolution of the government of the island upon the person to be selected by a fair election, as outlined in my letter to j'ou, has not been changed in the slightest. The question of the time within which that can be worked out, due to the doubt as to the time in which the census can be taken, is n mere matter of opinion.
