Dakota Ca, June 29-During q ter

and as result four convicts are dead,
ten are dying and 20 escaped during
the panic which ensued.
The camp is at the lumber mills of

Only two of them were captured, and

Peoples Mission, III shipIey Street.

The Temperance meeting held at the
mission on Saturday evening, was the best
that has been held yet, perhaps more for
quality than quantity. Rev. Asbury
Burke was the speaker of the evening.
He took as basis of his remarks, Exodus
21st chapter and 29th verse, ''But If the OK
were won't to push with his horns In time
past and it hath been testified to its owner
and ho hath not kept him In, but that he
hath killed man or woman, tho OK
shall be stoned and his owner shall be put
to death"
He drew comparison between the OK
and the saloon. The OK was vicious in
his nature, SO the saloon. The OK running
at large was daE gerous to the community,
so is the saloon. Tho owner of the OK
was notified that the animal was danger.
Gus, SO the owner Of the saloon. The OK
on account of his destructive nature was
to be put to death, so the saloon on ac-
count of its Obstructive nature was 20 be
exterminated, but not only was tho OK to
die but the owner Of tho OK as well. SO
not only the saloon must go but the party
who licensed the saloon must go also.
1t was truly q mastery discourse in
favor of temperance and prohibition. We
only wish everybody in Wilmington could
have heard it.
On Saturday the Local Preachers and
Exhorters Association held an all-day
