The whole community was shocked andgrieved yesterday by the awfulnews fromthe Moxee valley that the youngest childof Senator Lesh had been burned todeath. The twin sister died during thesummer and the mother died wben theywere born, and yesterday's calamity addsthe third great trial that Senator Leshhas been compelled to bear during thelast year and a half.

Mrs. Cochrane has been acting as nurseand she and tin- balance of the family,excepting the little one, were in the din-ing-room at their evening meal. Thebaby was up stairs in the nursery play-ing alone. During the progress of themeal something was heard to fall upstairs, and the nurse started up to seewhat was the matter. She soon dis-covered that the top of the house was allon fire. Kither the lamp had explodedor the baby had pulled itoff of the tableonto the floor and thus started the fire.

The nurse attempted to rush throughthe Hamee to rescue the child, but wasdriven back. William Lawrence, whowas jnut returning from town when theaccident occurred, attempted to force hisway into the house, but the flames weretoo much for him. He, also tried to swinghimself into the nppor story from the sur-rounding trees, but was unable to do so.In the early evening he came back intotown and wired Mr. Lech the sad infor-mation and today received a reply statingthat the Senator would start home fromWashington at 8:30.

This afternoon when the ruins hadcooled sufficiently a search was made forthe remains which were finally found.All that remained of the little body wasthe trunk which will he laid away in itslu-it resting place Friday afternoon, thefuneral occuring from the residence ofLouis Lesh, on Natchez avenue.

The house was the property of theMoxee company and carried insuranceamounting to $3000.

Word was received in this rity from theupper Wide Hollow that one of the oldsettlers in that valley had committedsuicide by banging yesterday forenoon.The deceased, J. A. Rollins, who is wellknown in North Yakima, was GO yearsold and resided on bis own place about22 miles up the Ahtanum, where be hadmade his home for several years. Hehas !>"pm considered of unsound mind forsome time, and yesterday's act was prob-ably the direct result of melancholy. Hebaa been laboring under the hallucina-tion that be was either going to starveto death or freeze to death. The bodywas discovered hanging in the hop bouseby one of the neighbors, Mr. Glidden,who brought word of the affair into townlast night. Mr. Rollins bad none intothe upper part of the house and hadhanged himself by jumping off into thebin below. The body was discovered atabout IIo'clock, and it is supposed theart was committed about one hour be-fore that.

Arrangements are being made to havethe funeral to-morrow, and the exerciseswillbe held at the house. A wife andtwo children are left to mourn the loss ofone who was ever a kind and indulgenthusband and father. He was a goodneighbor, generous and accommodating,and duriiiK the ten years of his residencein the Wide Hollow was never known tohave trouble with anybody.
