Oaca more the Fire Demon, was
lfcfeated in Skagway, although, the
:nemjr made a vicious drive at the
IVhits Pass car shops ami ro'ary
>arn early this morning.
At about 1:35 o'clock this morn
ing Bert Watts, hostler at the
shcts discovered a fire in. the big
rotarv snow plow cab, which was
in the rotary barn all ready for
the run this morning, and as there
tveie * wo big engines under steam
full coupled up. Watts jumped into
the c^b of on© of the engines and
blowing the whistle with one hand
as a fire signal, pulled out the
throttle with th- other and hauled
►he plow, down to the water hydrant*
Here Eddie Liddicoat and Mc
Pherscu, who are wipers at the
shops, came to the assistance Of
Watts and although the cab was
a seething mass of fire, these three
men soon extinguished the flames.
oome person, whose name is un
known, called up central to ascer
tain where the fire was, and she
at once tried to get the store
house and round house at the
shops," but getting no response
from either, she called up the
section house, and was informed
tha* the rotary barn. was burning.
M'ss Florence Legge was on
duty st the telephone exchange,
and she at once notified Town
ilarslial Page, who immediately be
gan tolling the fire gong at No.
1 fire house.
Miss Legge then got Fire Chief
Beuder on the phoue at his home
and with the big alarm sending out
appeal- for help, Fire Company No.
2 soon had the hose cart out and
on its way to the shops.
While this was taking place
down town, Fire Company No. 3,
located on State Street near
Twenty-second responded, and
bv the tme that the Chemical from
No. 1 and hose cart from No. 2 fire
houses arrived on the scene, No.
3 was battling with the flames,
which had ravenously eaten their
way through the roof of the rotary
cat and had started in licking up
tho roof of the big rotary barn.
The fire fighters in the mean
time had succeeded in making a col*
nee'ion with one of the fire plugs
located on the company property,
ani this was quickly followed by a
second, and it was then only a
quest icu of a few moments until the
fire was all a thing of the past.
When the first call was made
through the means of the huge
fire bell on No. 1 fire house, with
the exception of a few outsiders,
only members of the Volunteer Fire
Department responded, but when
tho bell kept tolling, and apparent
ly was Insistent in its demands for
more help, large numbers of mer
man's and citizens turned out to
render what assistance they could.
By the time tha* most of the per
sons who responded to the call fo<
the second and third reserves had
reached the scene of the fire, the
fire laddies had it well under con
trol.
With the exception of one plug
.it the shops being frozen, which
delayed a line of hose being laid
from that point to the fire, there
was lo hitch in the Sight against
tho flames, and it was again demon
strated that Skagway has an effi
cient, well trained, and "willing
Volunteer Fire Department.
With the exception of the rotary
ca?i, which was so badly damaged
tha it will have to be replaced by
a new one, and the destruction of
a section of the roof and the cu
oola on the rotary barn no damage
was done. The machinery in the
ro'ary cab was not damaged other
than being covered with dirt and
a?hes from the burning oab.

AFTER LISTER
Olynipia, Maxell 13 — Shortly
Iter fhe noon hour today, an nn
deutified man, armed with a largo
ilstol, rusted into tlie office of lr
fln W. Ziegaus, Govei-nor Lis
er's private secretary, and tfe
nanded the governor.
Mr. Ziegaus tried to prevent the
nau from entering Governor Us
er's private office but lie could
lo no'hing with the man, who flour
shod his ugly looking pistol.
The man finally mad$ a break
or the governor's office, and Gov
ernor Lister, hearing the commo
,ion in the outer room, passed in- ,
o the vault and out into his sec
retary's office just as the man
•cached the inner office.
Mr. Ziegaus tried to get him
)u*, but be covered him with the
jun and shouted, "I'll have this I
)ui, with the Governor."
Just as soon ag the Governor
iad made good his escape, he hur
ried Into *ho office of tlie State
Auditor, where the police were
iqtifled .
Officers arrived quickly in re-!
spouse to the call and tho man held
:Uem a' bay. The officers took up
fheir stand at the doors and win
dows to prevent escape.
The Sheriff with a posse arrived
on the scene, and still the man held
them off.
Finally A. W. Calder, a leg
islative employe went in to the
man, and after talking with him
for a few moments, the man hand- j
ed Calder his weapon, and surren- !
dered himself. He said that he ,
was after Lister and that he only j
held the officers off because he j
wag afraid that they would shoot j
him If they captured him.
It is believed that the man is j
insane.

CATASTROPHE TO YAKIMA
BELGIAN HAKE MAIlKfclJ
Yakima, Mark 3 — The refusal
of a southern mammy employed in
a Yakima home to cook a Belgian
hare becuse, ghe sid, the skinned
'ail was too long, has raised cain
wi'h the Belgian hare market and
sroused the suspicion that "Belgian
cats" have been drafted to over
come a shortage in the hare sup
ply. The fact that a number of
family mousers failed to re
spond to the call of the morning
milk about the time of the lonjr
tailed hare episode has helped to
create suspicion in homes where
rabbit stew had become established
in a place of honor on the family
menu.
Thrifty housewives, keen to take
advantage of an opportunity to swat
the high cost of living, have been
generous patrons of a vender of
Bely'sm hare, whose products al- j
cays were delivered minug the fur.
The demand grew as the price of
beef ascended and there was a
loom in the Belgian hare market.
Had i* not been for the colored
:ook's aversion to long tails Where
short tails are the style, the
render of rabbit meat might have
jecome a Rockefeller in his line.
*Iow the business not only has
lropped off but those who buy de
nand the hare wi'h his jacket on.

1ELLS STORY OF THE
DISCOVERY OF NOME
A correspondent who Fishes to be
known only by the initials C, G.
denies that Jafet Lindeberg and
Erik Liudblom were the first dis
coverers of gold at Nome, says the
Juneau Dispatch recently. He saw
a story some time ago in this pa
per—U e story of n fight which
occurred in San Francisco over an
:.lkged bill due by Mrs. Lindblom.
in this story Lindblom was given
again 'lie credit for discovering
.Nome and "C. G." conies back With
the following interesting reply:
"Reading your article referring
to Lindeberg and Lindblom as the
discovers of the Nome gold I can
inform you that neither Lindeberg
nor Lindblonx wag the first dis
coverer of Nome's gold and that
neither of them had ever pros
pected for mineral in Alaska pref
vious io the Nome camp being
organized by Gab© Price who took
cut the first ten thousand dollars
from !-"• 8 Anvil creek in 1899 and
made rochers for Lindeberg, Lind
blom uiid the others in 1898 and
showed tliem how to use them. They
rocked out eighteen hundred dol
lars from September 15 to the
freeze-ua.
The Mayors Woods Co., of Seat
tle was formed seven years pre
viously to Nome being organized,
by the writer of this article who
is the first white man to find gold
at Nome, but came out at the
wrong end of the Horn. The writ
er was also the instigators of
Holtberg and Blake, tha finders
cf gold on Anvil creek la 1898;
that is not to say„these men were
tlio firsf to find gold at zNome, for
the writer of this took a party
of seventeen prospectors in June
lSHii, and obtained good prospects.
Anyone who Wishes to know the
true and long history of the camp
car inquire of 0. Q." _; j ■.
