Charles Nye was also an ex
tensive loser by the fire. Not only
did he lose a targe amount of
wood and standing timber, but he
can# near losing his life. In at
tempting to protect the water pipes
which supply water to his mill, he
went to the head of the flume to
shut off the water which would en
able him to repair a break lower
down. While he was up there
the fire burned in behind him cut
ting off all possibility of returning.
He mas surrounded by a raginp
fire which was rapidly closing in1
on him. bringing apparent death
Fortunately he reached a bridge
where the defenders of the castle
had installed a short water pipe
for the purpose of protecting it.
The water was running over the
bridge from this pipe and Mr. Nye
took this only chance to save his
life. He got under the bridge and
continually played the water over it
and himself for four hours until the
fire had passed on.
Mr Nye's long absence had
been noted and word came to the
citixer.s of Skagway that he was
cut off by the fine, and volunteers
for his relief were called for. The
fire bell was rung and soon dojtens
of citizens responded. Soon after
their arrival on the scene, Mr Nye
appeared, having escaped after the
fire had passed and walking by a
round about way had returned to
his mill. Here the tire was
threatening the destruction of his
mill buildings but a large force of
r.ion were working in an effort to
vave them.
The fire now has burned way to
:he north and a slight rain last
night has quenched some of the
smaller biases and unless the wind
chances there will probably be no
more damage to property near

White Plains. July 26 ? Judge
Keogh today denied the ^please
of Harry K. Thsw. He believes
that Thaw is still Insane.
This case has extended over sev
eral weeks in which many witness
es were examined. Seven promin
ent medical men were examined
either by their presence or by com
missions s?nt to take te-stimony.
In his arguments before Justice
Keojsh. former District Attorney Je
rome said that the insanity pro
ceedings alone in the Thaw case
had thus far cost the state of New
York more thnn $54,000. Mr.
Shearn. the Thaw attorney, replied
that most of the money was spent
in hiring alienists who never had^
[?ersonallv examined Thaw, but ;
simply passed judgment as to his
mentality as he walked in court
and by studying him on the witness
stand.
"It has not been claimed at any
of the trials," Mr. Shearn continu
ed. "and has not been testified by
any of the experts that Thaw was
suffering from any other form of!
mental dis?-am> thin chronic delusion
insanity.
"It has never been testified tbatj
there was anything the matter with
Thaw except that he had false be
liefs These were the personal opin
ions of three alienists, none of
whom personally examined Thaw
except * hen he walked Into court.
The wily one who has examined
Thaw has been Dr. Haker, and he
bas stated that the patient is not
suffering from paranoia The "ef
forts of th" state to prove this man'
InSane are sufficient to indicate that
he is sane "

vice-president and general man

Mr. Edding has been In consulta

kan and other fish men in Alaska
and has antiouncd that his com
pany was going to construct th?
largest cold-storage plant on the
coast, in Alaska waters, "f think
it will he Sitka, but then Peters
burg looks good. Our company
would build a plant the storage ca
pacity of which would be between
time and four hundred tons of
fish. Three hundred men wontd
be given employment, the majority
of whom would be fishermen. A
fleet of four or five boats, capable
of making a spe??d of between fif
teen and eighteen knots an hour,
would necessarily have to be oper
ated. in order to insure prompt
packet service between the plant
and Seattle."
Mr. Rddlng intends laying his
