LEARNING THE LYNcHER's WAY.
italians Near New Orleans Make a Sus
pected Incendlary Hide Ont.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 21.-The fire
in Algiers yesterday destroyed $50
houses and shanties, occupied by 100
people. Most OF the occupants saved
their personal effects. The buildings
on ten squares burned, and the real
estate on which they stood was assess
ed at 1886, 100.
The fire was incendiary. Paul Bouffia,
the man who is suspected of being the
cause of all the destruction. had mar
row escape from being lynched. He
was spirited away from the temporary
police station and brought to the city
by Captain Day. where he is now safely
housed with the charge Of arson pend
ing against him.
The fire started in the old Rookery, a
rattletrap. 1t was occupied by score
of families, mostly Italians. Paul
Bouffia was one of these, and he occu-
pied the lower part of the building. He
kept a fruit stand and had wife and
six children TO support. He was man
who was heartily disliked by the other
Italians in the neighborhood and all
over the city.
Subscriptions are being solicited for
the benefit of the unfortunate families
who lost their homes. Eight thousand
dollars was obtained TODAY

Omaha. Neb., Oct. 21.-The defendant

Willard s. Willard filed an amended
answer in the district court today deny
ing a good portion Of the allegations
made in Wyman's petition. in which he
sought to recover on a $40. 200 judgment.
Wyman was appointed the receiver of
the Nebraska Insurance company. As
such he filed claims against George +.

smount OF SIS. 0o0. He began attach
nant proceedings against them and OBJ
tanned q writ against their property.

HARD WINTER COMING.
Old Su-wap-a-to Gives His Reasons

for Long and Cold Winter.
Su-wap-a-to, an aged indian
from Okanogan country, says that
winter will set in earlier this year
than for a long time past. He has
discoursed with old men from great

his memory, he is equipped with a
fund of knowledge as to weather
signs, which in his judgment are
infallible.
'The Great Spirit he said,
"gave men plenty Of horses, but
they stole his lightning and killed
the cuitan for food. Then the
wheel came. Even with these old
eyes of mine, and with sick tum

school, side by side with whitefaced

when he turned and looked back,
seeming to say he pitied the poor
old Indians who had watered the
desert with blood to prevent the
sickness called civilization from

He pitied the Indians, but his face
was red with rage. That night the

of these same boys. Two young
men, both Of whom attend the pub
lie school at Huntsville and whose
parents are very highly respected,
had placed "ish-plate," or, in
other words, long steel rail, be-
tween the rails Of the frog" Just
this side Of the station and at a
point where the train is usually at
full speed. Two coupling pins and
number Of bolts had also been
placed in the "frog" in such a man
ner that wreck would have been
certain had the train run on to the
"frog" at ordinary speed, Besides
this the boys had driven fourteen
spikes between the rails at inter-
walls on each side Of the place where
the "fsh-plate" had been placed,
Fortunately, however, w. II. ",
Richards, who is employed in the
warehouse at Huntsville, discovered
the obstruction and also recognized
the two boys as they departed.

Fruit Not Accepted.

The Oregon Fruit Union was
preparing to ship three car loads of
prunes from Union Saturday, says
the Republican, but it was dis
covered just before loading them
into the cars that they had not
been properly sorted, o, at any rate
in such a manner as not to be ac-
ceptable to Mr.. Brown the manag-
er of the Union who was here to in
spect them and the producers were
compelled to haul them back to
their homes. Mr.. Brown informed
the Republican that he was great
ly disappointed but could not af-
ford to injure the reputation of the
union by shipping anything but
the very best fruit packed proper
ly. The trouble was caused by the
frost which injured the prunes for
shipping in the green state, and it
seems that some of the damaged
fruit was packed with the sound,
instead of carefully separating it as
the Union claims it instructed the
packers to do. The fruit however,
will not be lost as it can be saved
by drying it.
