tie. New South Wales, on July p, with the
shipwrecked crew of the bark africa on

Thousands Of cans of kerosene were re-
Gently found floating IN the Indian ocean,
and they were supposed to be the wreck
age of an Australian-bound ship from
America. They proved to be the cargo of
the bark africa, which sailed with coal oil
from New York for Annoy. She was dis
masted and waterlogged in hurricane on
June 3. and for five days those on the YES

man, whose nominal fine would be paid

coming money.
The fact that no less than five public
gambling games were running openly in
the city was stated as a matter of news
in the Posr-INTELLIGENCER yesterday, and
must have startled the heads Of the admin
istration, for at IL o'clock last night Chief
Jackson sent Detectives Cave and Roberts
to the houses with the information that
they must close. He performed this painful
duty as bravely as possible and instructed
the officers so that bystanders could hear
him:
A'Go down to the houses and tell them to
close, or will come down and burn their
goods"
This mandate of the chief was commu-
nicated to the houses, the officers finding
in each case that their arrival had been
anticipated and the games closed.
One man from each the NJ & n, Peoples
theater, q & b, and Pacific houses was
taken to police headquarters and allowed
to go on depositing SIS bail.

greatly regret If the state authorities
anywhere should fail to accept this offer
OF cooperation in friendly spirit. All
efforts to keep ont the cholera by guarding

A Rancher's Wife Driven Insane by
Solitude.
Shelton Sentinel.

Judge Irwin came on last Saturday
evenings boat and proceeded at once to
hold a court of inquiry into the sanity of
Mrs. Phenix, of the Skokomish river, who
was brought here some days previous. She
was pronounced insane, and on Monday
morning she was taken by Deputy Sheriff
George Morash to the asylum at Steilacoom.
Her husband accompanied her to assist
in taking her there. Her malaiy seems
to be religious craze, probably caused by
nervous prostration. Isolation among
the hills of the Skokomish valley is prob
ably the direct cause of her failing mind.
1t is hoped that proper care may soon re-
store her mind to its normal condition.
In conversing with a gentleman who
lives on the Skokomish river, he informs
Us that he visited the Phenix residence
about year ago. He found the lady at
her home, on the south fork of the Sko-
