He demanded $200. Mayor Zimmerman examined Thornburgh's wrist and found it to be severely inpured. , The board considers It much better to settle out of court than, to enter litigation. At the meeting of the board this
morning City Clerk Bescher was ordered to notify A. W. Gregg to 'take down the wooden awning over the sidewalk at the Hoosler Department store. The awning is a violation of the law.. . . , .

FIRES IN MONTANA.
Helena, Mont., Aug. 22. Five thous
and miles of timber land in-Western
Montana and Eastern Idaho are ablaze
today and as much more territory has
been laid to waste by the worst forest fires in the history of 'the United
States. The property loss is already
$20,0.00,00 according to ' careful esti
mates, and the desperate efforts of an
army of 5,000 men to check the flames hae proved futile.
It is believed that the death list will
be over 300 when the final accounting
is made. Fully 200 persons have been reported missing and -the known dead today number more than fifty. At Wallace, Idaho, where a third of the city was destroyed yesterday with $1,000,000 loss and the death of twenty-four persons, a fight wasmade all night and continued today to save the rest of the town, The forest rangers and the city firemen there, are aided by the colored soldiers of the 25th infantry.

All this closes with the electrical
parades and the coronation ball in the fall. The Initiations will close when Colonel Roosevelt "gets his" September 2. All the ceremonials are unique but a strenuous time is planned for the colonel one which will manufacture for him some original emotions out of whole cloth.
: As in many other secret orders, all candidates enter on an equality just as they entered the world, without money on their persons or titles thundering along after their names. The "den" is a hugs building, covering an entire block. Under it are numerous tunnels and mysterious chambers. Running through this tunnel is a rope constantly in motion, drawing the candidates in.
Colonel will be requested by a taw
dry court officer to hang on to tire rope. Once ahold of it there is no turning back. Hundreds In front will be pulling scores behind .' pushing.
Amid a babblement of strange noises
the colonel will feel an emotion akin
to those he knew in the heat and the dust of the Great Plains when in the
midst of stampeding cattle. I Down, down, down goes the line under the great den, the candidates emerging in a chamber like the anteroom of a Roman theater. Here the Imperial keeper of the outer gate separates , the wheat . from the tares "many there are who are called, but
few are chosen." The ex-president" and African hunter is one of those who will be chos en that September night. And it means something." Placed on the "top" of a miniature world, : where his friend Peary has been, Colonel Roosevelt will feel the earth begin to revolve on its axis. As it approaches the equatorial suns, the force of graviation is removed and the colonel shoots off into space towards the milky way, picking himself up a
dozen yards off. "ready for the next
ride. This time it will be in an automobile. Taking his place in the'machina at dusk, Colonel Roosevelt will not know just who his traveling companions are xuntil he reaches the , light. He will then discover that instead of the distinguished men who volunteered to accompany him, he is ridins about the great hall on a spiral speedway with six wax figures of beautiful women accompanying him. '-, The crowd cheers and then the accidents begin as though the scoot wagon had been frightened. One by one the colonel's beautiful companions are tossed mysteriously from the automobile, the last one leaving Just before the explosion which wrecks the machine and leaves the strenuous one sitting on a great pile of hay with, thousands cheering him for the bravery he has shown in staying by the boat. It's more funny than doing the things at ConeV Island and Colonel Roosevelt's sea legs will be tested on Samson's old boat He will be pushed
from the craft by a pirate and a great
shark will grab him. This initiation Is punctuated with
many, other surprises. All candidates
are treated alike and the initiation closes with compelling the novices to ; sit quietly through a performance of ;
"Halley's Comet," a comic opera of no mean standing, staged by a company of one hundred actors. Following the close of the initiation, Colonel Roosevelt will be permitted to speak to the company; .asked to give his impressions of Nebraska of Omaha and of the organization into which he has just been Initiated. All these "impressions"- are recorded and in this way Nebraska, has a book full of good things which have been said about the state and the kings of AkSar-Ben by everyone from W. J. Bryan to James J. Jeffries. : -j-

Northfleld, Vt., Aug. 22. Search for the bodies of the victims of the terrific head-on collision of freight trains on the Central Vermont railroad at Northfleld Fall3 was continued today. Seven bodies so badly burned j that Identification is almost impossible have been removed from the wreckage. It is thought that three or four more bodies are in the ruins. 'L. B. Murrere, the Northfleld telegraph operator upon whom the officials are depending for assistance in the investigation is in a mental collapse and it is feared the shock will kill him. He has been unconscious most of the time since shortly before the fatal crash when he realized that the collision was inevitable.
