Tenn, is in great state of excitement.
During the session of the circuit court
here, Judge Arthur Traynor presiding,
Colonel T. M. Burkette, well-known
lawyer, was pleading for reduction of
fine imposed on client. In the course
Of his remarks he made very disrespect-
full illusions to the judge presiding.
The judge thereupon fined Colonel Bur-
kettle $50 for contempt of court, and af-
wards Burkette again commenced to use
abusive language, and made some steps
towards the judge, apparently to assault
him. The sheriff Intercepted Colonel
Burkette and thereupon the judge or
dered the sheriff to place Colonel Bur-
kettle in Jail. Burkette babe defiance to
the court and officers, and said he would
not go to Jail. The sheriff summoned
all in the court room as a posse to carry
out the orders of the court, but Colonel
Burkette walked from the court house
unmolested and is not yet under arrest.
Some friends have paid the fine imposed.
but they say Colonel Burkette shall not

CENTRALIA FIRE.
, The Town of CentraGa is visited by a
Most Disastrous Confagration,
The Daughter of Senator Mitchell, Of
Oregon, to be Married in January.

CENTRALIA, Wash, Nov 30.-About
o'clock this morning fire broke out in
the Horse Shoe saloon on Main street
between Tower avenue and Pearl street.
The fire spread with alarming rapidity
despite the most heroic efforts of the fire
department. Neither the rain which was
falling fast at the moment nor the streams
from the hydrants and steam engine
seemed for time to have any appre-
ciable effect, and from building to build
ing the flames spread, famed by brisk
breeze, East and west the fire spread
until the News Office had been reached
on one side and McGiffert, Lee & Co.'S
fine store on the corner of Tower avenue
and Main, on the other.
From this corner the fire swept north
along the west side of Tower avenue I'M
til by almost superhuman effort the
boys conquered it, just as the loss Of
the First National bank seemed inevita-
ble. This was accomplished by tearing
down the building between 1t and the
fire. Had not the fire been arrested
here the remainder of this block and the
next would have fallen victims to the
flames.
1t is impossible to obtain accurate re-
turns from the losses Of parties burned
out or the amount of insurance, but
conservative estimate, places the loss at
$4,000, with probably $4,000 lnsur-
ance. The heaviest losers are McGiffert,
Lee & Co. and the Centralia New Com
pany. The latter had no insurance
whatever. Among the places of business
destroyed are the following: News Pub
fishing Company, Park saloon, Horse
shoe saloon, Binkley's opera house, Blink
ley's store, Binkley's large warehouse,
Liuan's cigar stand McGifert, Lee &
Co.'S general store. the real estate offices
OF Il. ii. Browning, BorthWlck, Batty q
Co. and W. G. Gaunce; Hoss Bros meat
shop, Rector's drug store, Coonan &
Chapman's book and insurance Office,
Butts jewelrY store, Atkins paint and
oil store, Beams drug store, Twiss' to-
bacco and cigar store, Drs. Francis K
Duman, Miller Murdoc's law office
Others were damaged considerable 10y
removal. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether the people will now agree to let
the steam engine be returned to the com
pany as decreed by the last meeting of
the city council. The heroic efforts of
the fire department and portion of the
general public alone prevented mnch
more disastrous fire.
