FRANCI FIGHTERS OF NINTH ABORRD THE HANGOCK Transport Reaches Port in Time to Pass Doctors. Msjor Irvine Says That Gen- eral Smith’s Order Was Justifiable. Remnant of Regiment That Almost Suffered Annihilation Will Lend To-Day at the Presidio. —_———— The army transport Hancock, with the headquarters, band and ten companies of the famous Ninth United States Infantry, Colone! C. F. Robe, commanding, arrived Jast night from Manila. The trooper reached port just before sundown, in time to pass quarantine inspection, but just late enough to necessitate all hands, of- ficers, privates and civilians, remaining on board uutil this morning. After passing quarantine the Hancock steamed to an anchorage off Angel Island. The cabin passengers and fifty discharged soldiers will be landed this morning at the transport Two provisional com- panies, ageregating 344 men, will be sent 10 the casual camp at Angel Island and the Ninth Infantry will be landed at the Presidio, from where they will be sent back to the various barracks thev garri- soned before taking up the strenuous life that has cost the organization virtually = its whole original strength.

SPOKANE, June 20.—Charles H. Lyon, | former president of the Mount Vernon,' | Washington, bank, who was arrested here | yesterday, is alleged to have worked up-| on the directors of the bank one of the | most colossal swindles ever perpetrated | |in the Northwest.

Million says that the bank advanced $10,000 on the notes, | although their face value was much more. | This, with the $6000 unauthorized draft which Lyon made on the bank's New | York correspondent. makes the bank’s | admitted loss $16,000, | _The story is that when Lyon went to Mount Vernon to buy the interest in the tion from a Boston trust company. He | negotiated for the purchase of Cln.ri/'s stock and a price was agreed upon. Cla- ry’s stock was hypothecated with the Seattle National Bank. Lyon agreed to assume the amount that the Seattle Na- | | tional had advanced on Clary’'s stock and to pay the difference in cash. GOOD REPORT FROM DUN. The bank officials asked Dun’'s Com- | mercial Agency for a report on the reiia- | bility of the makers of the notes and re- celved a report that they were good for | almost any amount. Thereupon $10,000 {was advanced to Lyon, says Million. | After purchasing Clary’s stock Lyon |lived at Mount Vernon for a month and then went East. The bank heard nothing until it received a telegram from Kansas City that Lyon had drawn his_personal :h:(’k on the Mount Vernon Bank for | $12,000. The bank officials wired that it would protest the check, as Lyon was without authority to draw on them for any such amount.” In reply came a telegram from Lyon himself, saying that he had placed §12,000 to the bank’s credit in Chicago to protect his check; and requested them to honor the latter. cago to know if such a sum had been | placed to its credit and received an af- | firmative reply. Then it paid thé check. | "A few days’later, however, it'was ac- | certained that Lyon, to protect his check, had drawn through a bank in Oklahoma on the Mount Vernon Bank's New York | ccrrespondent for $6000 and on its Seattle correspondent for $%X. The New York { bank had paid the draft, but payment on | the Seattle dr#ft was stopped by the Mount J Vernon feople. They discovered the fraud in time. Lyon had used the bank’s own funas to protect his check on them. When the Mount Vernon people found how Lyon had ‘“protected” his check on them it occurred to them to inquire into the genuineness of the notes which they Lad cashed. A few telegrams disclosed that all the names were forgeries and that the indorsements were likewise bogus. LADEN WITH BOGUS PAPER. When Lyon was searched at the police station more than $310,000 worth of bogus puper was found on him. It consisted of drafts on_the national correspondents of banks throughout the country. duly signed by the cashiers of the banks and made out in blank. Sheriff Wells of Skagit County arrived in this city to-day and took Lyon back to Mount Vernon. O not hurt the bank,” | ““This thing has | said Million to-night. “The stockholders will, of course, suffer, but nearly every | one of them is worth the full amount of the loss. It is a nasty thing and I sup- se we will be ‘joshed’ for being taken in on that forged paper; still, everything looked regular, and what lulled our sus- picions was the fact that Lyon personally was not benefiting by the cashing of the notes. The proceeds were turned over to a All he got was the bank stock. added Judge Mtllion ruefully, ertainiy d4id get a fine report trom Dun on the reliability of the men who re supposed to have signed the notes.” Piles Cured Without the Knife. g, Blind, Bleeding or Protruding Piles, No Pay.

A well-known citizen of | this place is authority for the statement | that White in his last remaining mo- ! ments_of consciousness called continu- ously for the spirit of his mother to come to him. His plaintive cry for his mother is described as having been most pa- thetic, the old man telling the persons attending the sickbed that he must speak once more to his mother before going into the great beyond, His pleadings wore evidently made in all sincerity, and he told what he desired his mother to com- municate to him. After crying for the | appearance of the spirit for nearly threx hours he turned to his friends and said: “Well, this settles it. 1 have oeen wrong.

DOWNEY, Jure 20.—Stabbed in a half- dozen places, a strange man was found in a weed-grown ditch three miles west of this place at 9:30 o'clock to-night. He is supposed to be W. M. Hadley of Ala- weda, and he is probably fatally wound- ed. While all indications point to foul play, there is nothing to work upon until the victim regains consciousness. The oflicers have made no arrests. . The wounded man was discovered by Hamp Wyatt, a rancher, who was driv- ing along beside the narrow fauge rail- road track ard saw a hat 1y le by the roadside. The place is remote from any habitation. Constable Roemer was sum.- moned and conveyed Hadley to Downey and provided medical attention. Beside the injured man was found a heavy ocketknife, with which the stabbing was one. The victim was cut in many places, the most serlous wounds being two deep stabs in the abdomen and one in.the left arm. Should he die without rcgalning consciousness Downey will have another murder mystery to soive. Identification of the wounded man is oktained through two letters of recom- mendation found in his vest pocket note- Pook. They are made out for W. M. Hadley and are signed by H. C.

TIMMONS SANTA ANA, June 20.—Andrew Jackson Timmons, a prominent resident of this city, died here this morning. He had been in failing health for some time, but, though the end was not unexpected, his death was a shock to his family and a host of friends. \ Mr. Timmons was born on April 25, 1834, ir Clinton County, Indiana, in which re- fon his father was one of the first set- lers, When he was yet a boy his father dled, and at the age of 15 he moved to Douglass County, Iilinois, with his moth- er and sisters, where they made a home for themselves in that wild and unsettled P His body is Diomedes.

He lived there until he moved with his family to California in 181, set- tling in the Perris Valley, in Riverside County, when that district was opened up to settlement. In 1896 he came to Santa Ana, where he resided up to the time of his death. Mr. Timmons was married at the age of 28, and a widow and six children sur- vive him. Of these, Joseph Timmons is assistant night editor of the San Fran- cisca Call; two sons and two daughters reside in Santa Ana, and another daugh- ter Miss Clara Timmons, is in the public echools of Los Angeles.

TACOMA, June 20.—Forest fires are| blazing so flercely in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains that the prosperous towns of Buckiey, Enumclaw and Hot Springs are in danger of total destruction. | Tacoma has sent fire department aid to Buckley and Hot Springs. The firemen are | working heroically to save those towns, lumber mills. | The fires are worst in White Valley, | which is given up chiefly to lumbering. The entire . country between Buckley, Enumclaw and Hot Springs is a blazing | furnace, which no man can approach and live. It is certain that there has been loss of life in the country districts burned oVer, but no authentic reports can | be received until the fire burns itself out. For two weeks the weather has been dry, rendering the timber and underbrush easy | prey to'flames. At noon to-day the large | mill of the White River Lumber Com- pany, near Enumclaw, was burned, to-| gether with the company’s houses, twen- ty in all. Fine buildings on a score of farms adjacent to Enumclaw were swept away. | Early this afternoon the mill of the Mountain Mill Company, together with | the dry kilns and a large stock of lum- | ber, were destroyed. Small mills in the | vicinity of Buckley were burned. | In the logging camps of the White River | Lumber Company are several dozen wo- | men and children, entirely surrounded by | flames and in_the greatest danger. Their | husbands and fathers left early this mo,rnlngB to fight fires some distance away. Before they could return the| flames had encircled their homes. | At Enumclaw and Buckley the people | have piled their household goods on wag- ons and hitched up their horses, ready to leave on short notice. Some were leav- | ing to-night on Northern Pacific trains. Early this afternoon the fire destroyed a row of buildings on the east side of Buckley. -A strong wind was blowing from the east and everything in- dicated that the town was doomed. The flume which supplies Buckley with water had been burned earlier in the day, cut- ting off the entire water supply. Shortly before 3 o'clock firemen, engines and hose arrived from Tacoma. The firemen went to work with a will and soon had a half- | mile of hose pouring water upon the flames. They prevented the fire spreading further and have saved Buckley. | Hot Springs, which has been twice de- stroyed in previous years, sent an urgent call for help. At 4 o'clock a special Northern. Pacific train carried another | contingent of the Tacoma fire department to that town. The employes from Page’s Camp, Eagle Gorge, arrived here at 9 o’clock and tell a thrilling story of escape. Fire struck the camp at noon to-day, descending upon it in a roaring sheet of flame. A narrow path to safety remained, and men, women and children to the number of sixty hurried through it. Three men feared to try the pass and made their escape by wading through the river and up the line. | It is reported that seven men from Smith’s camp on Cedar River, which was burned, are missing, but the report can- not be verified. | WHATCOM, Wash., June 20.—Forest fires are raging a few miles south of this | city and are reported as having already destroyed one logging camp and to be threatening others.

Mr. Til- den died with scorn and contempt upon bis lips for Grover Cleveland. That Mr. Cleveland should put himself forward as a conjectural party leader is proef of con- fidence which would be sublime if it were not sinister, because leadership with him means office and nothing but office. “Such well-termed disclaimers as that which aptly irradiated his elsewise | phrased speech of Thursday night mean nothing to those who are familiar with his peculiar methods. They know for a certainty that Mr. Cleveland never puts bimself to the trouble of a public appear- ance without a definite objective point and that his objective point always re- lates tc his own appetite and interest. From :he day he was one and twenty until now he has been an office secker. We are not permitted, therefore, to see in this artfully timed and ostentatious re- appearance upon the scene, from which he withdrew ‘nto the conspicuous shade of a great university, anything except the crganization of a Presidential boom, as it is called. “We rather think the party will a without much division that it has h: fill of Mr. Cleveland. The idea of his nomination in 1904 is little skort of ridicu- jous. He would be hailed by the Republi- cans as the Diaz of Democracy—that is, as its only onliest captain-general. It is safe to say that as a candidate for a third term in the White House and for the fourth time as a Presidential nominee he could not carry a contested district in the United States. “The Tilden Club has decided not to put its best foot foremost. They rather, as the saying is, ‘put its foot inte it.” 'The name of Cleveland may still be a name to conjure with for Republicans. With the Democrats of the West and South it is simply hateful.
