NAPA, Sept. 29.-B. B. Smiths fruit drier in East Napa is now in the hands of the Johnson-Locke Mercantile Con- pany of San Francisco. A bill of sale of the establishment was made Wednes- day by MT. Smith to the company.

DETROIT. MICH, November 5.-The
new Ave-story Wonderland Theatre build

Of collapse, and fifteen or more lives have
been sacrificed by a shocking accident
which occurred there this afternoon.
Shortly before o'clock while some
thirty-fiye men were at work In various
parts Of the half-fnished theatre portion
Of the structure the roof fell in without n
seconds warning. Nearly every workman
was carried down into the theatre"plt.
The front wall OF the building remained
practically intact but the east side wall
bulged and buckled threateningly. Not
withstanding the latter danger, the work
OF rescuing the injured and taking out
the dead was rushed, and good progress
was made until SIS, when the upper por-
ton OF the east wall fell, shower OK
bricks striking around In the crowd OK

Fortunately none OF those VINO were

TROOPS TO MOVE SOON.
VIII Go to Southern Camps Before
Proceeding to Cuba.

WASHINGTON. November 5.-The or
der which designates the troops to occu-
by different portions Of Cuba has raised
a question as TO whether or not 1t is the
intention of the War Department 10 have
the troops go direct from their present
camps to Cuba, instead OF occupying the
southern winter camps selected some
time ago. 1t can be stated that such is
not the intention, and that the troops
will be moved from Knoxville and Lex
ington and MiddletOwn TO these camps
very soon. 1t is believed that the trans
fer will be beneficial to the troops. and
that not only will they find more salu-
brious climate, but that the duty of
breaking camp and establishing another
will be better for them than remaining in
one lace.
