cate that Ncwlands will have 800 plu.

extends his sincere Trunks to all who
showed their good will in assisting to
remove the contents OF the printing
Office to n place Of safety Monday
night. Their efforts were appreciat-
ed then and viii be gratefully re
membered.
Ex.-You can't hardly estimate the
number OF people that is running
around over the country trying to live
of the hard earned money OF other
people. There is every kind Of n
swindler imaginable abroad in the
land. 1t is safe to say that one half Of
the population OF this country live off
the earnings Of the other half. That
is n OF the main causes that we hear
80 many people complaining OF hard
times.

About midnight Monday night, the

On rushing to the street. the Gem

ing hands were soon at the hose and
carrying water and, by dint OF hard
work, the fire was confined to the
frame part Of the hotel which was
totally destroyed with all OF its con-
tents.
At one time it was feared that the
flames would spread to the adobe an.

were hurriedly carried into the street
and i'll the case OF the jewelry store
very badly damaged. The type,
cases, books. furniture and nearly
everything portable were removed
from the INDEPENDENT office and re-
turned with but slight damage.
This is almost a miracle.
The fire is supposed to have caught
from the kitchen range. 1t spread

A Wild Eyed Crank Attempts to Kill St,
Louis Newspaper Clerks.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. GA crank's latest
advertisement in this city took q new
and dangerous form this noon when
an attempt was made by, a wild. eyed
anarchistic French woman to shoot
two of the counting room force of the
Post-Dispatch. Clerk Adolph Smith,
standing at the receiving counter, was
first, and all unawares, was attacked
by the woman, who attempted to use
a pistol upon him, but was unable to
get it clear of her skirts to fire. She
then, as Smith lodged between the
counter, turned upon w. E. Winter
and snapped her weapon twice, but
The cartridges failed to explode. Be
fore she could make another attempt
Winter leaped over the counter, and
wrestling the pistol from her, gave her
into police custody. At headquarters
she gave her name as Mrs. Pierrot.
Her reasons, when asked, were but in
coherent mumblings about insults.
She is now under bolt and bar. Her
husband is engaged in the printing
business.
