One of the victims has nine cuts about his body. Th« men were on the road leading from the camp t-o a railroad, intending to take a train t-o Port Arthur, when they were met by a stranger who offered to direct them to the rail- way by a short cut. His offer was accepted, and at a convenient mo- ment the stranger opened fire on the three, killing one and incapaci- tating the others. He took their time checks, which are of no value to him because he cannot cash them. Leaving his victims to their sufferings, tho assailant made off. The two laid out wounded and bleeding besido the dead body of their companion all night, and on Wednesday one managed to reach the railway and get th^ news to Silver Mountain, whence it was for- warded to Port Arthur.

Mothers, fathers and other relatives, literally mad with grief, stormed the police lines at the Morgue all Saturday night and Sunday shrieking, sobbing, and in some cases fighting with the ofii-' cers in their frenzy. Nearly all, if not all, the victims were employed by the Triangle Waist Company on the eighth, ninth and tenth floors of a ten- story lofty building at 23 Washing- ton place, on tho western fringe of the downtown wholesale clothing, fur, and millinery district. The partners of the firm, Isaac Harrlis and Max Blanck, escaped unscath- ed from the office on the tenth floor, carrying with them over an adjoining roof Blanck' s two young daughters and a governess. How the fire started will perhaps never be known. A corner on the eighth floor was its point of origin, and the three upper floors only were swept. On the ninth floor fifty bodies were found. Sixty-three or more were crushed to death by jumping, and mure than thirty clogged the elevator shafts. The loss to property will not ex- ceed $60,000. Way:-arers on the op- posite side of the street shaded their eyes against the setting sun and saw the windows of the three upper floors of the building black with girls crowding to the sills. Th# only fire escape was in a email court yard of the building. "Don't jump; don't jump '" yelled the crowd. But the girls had no choice. The pres- sure from maddened hundreds be- hind and the urging of their own fears were too strong. Four alarms were rung in within fifteen minutes. Before the engines could respond, before the nets could be stretcheji or the ladders raised five girls hail fallen from tho eighth and ninth floors so heavily that they broke through the glass tind iron roofs of the sub-cellars and crashed through the very streets into the vaults be- low. In an hour the fire was out. In half an hour it had done its work. Probably the death list was full in twenty minutes. Seven hun- dred hands, five hundred of them women, were employed by the shirtwaist company. WESTERN BANK WAS ROBBER Safe Was Rifled and There is No Clue Yet to the Perpetrators A despatch from Prince Albert, Sask., says: Northern Saskatche- wan has a bank robbery mystery on its hands. The branch of the Bank of Ottawa, at Kinistino, about 45 miles from Prince Albert, has miss- ed nearly $y,000 from the safe and there is ab.solutely no clue to the identity of the robber. The feat was perpetrated some time between one o'clock on Saturday afternoon and 8 o'clock the following Mon- day morning. The officials of the bank evidently have a suspicion, but they refuse to make any state- ment. The circumstances sur- rounding the case are most mysteri- ous, and the robber was evidently familiar with tho bank premises, and had working knowledge of the safe and the time lock. Saturday afternoon the manager of the bank closed the safe after placing in it the money and documents. The time lock was then set to open a» 8 o'clock Monday morning. Mr. Wood came to Prince Albert to spend Sunday. On Monday morn- ing he received a wire from the bank saying it w»s impossible to open the safe. It was thought that it was the fault of the time lock and the controllers of the device in New York were wired to for advica as to the action to be taken. Tho company wired back Several sug- gestions, which, when acted upon, finally opened the safe. It was then found that it had been rifled and currency and gold to the amount of almost $0,000 taken. per lb. A few lots of old sheep sold at 4% to 5c per lb, and Spring lambs at from $5 to $8 each.

GAUS_FOR^ RECRUITS Two Urgent Messages ^'ent to Chicago by the Adjutant-General. A despatch from Chicago says : Two telegrams from the War De- partment in Washington were re- ceived at the liead(iuarters of the Chicago recruiting stations on Thursday urging that the officers take immediate steps tp cjilist all possible recruits promptly. Tlie first telegram said: ''Large number of infantry recruits required. Make special efforts accordingly. By or- der of Adjutant-General." The message was telephoned to the various sub-stations with in- structions to send out handbills in all di.strictH. Hardly had the tele- phone order been communicated i when a second telegram came from I the .\djutant-Gencrars office, de- ! daring the call urgent and advis- I ing that the station.s be kept open day and night if necessary. It read: â€" "Use every effort to pro- cure recruits for tho infantry with- out delay. Urgent. If necessary, open day and night." Men were sent out with 10.000 handbills, across the tops of which were printed in large red letters: "Men wanted." Printers were or- dered to produce fifty thousand more of these bills nr.d they were distributee! throughout Cliicago oa Frj.Iav. --^ -sv ♦
