ond mining town of Importance in the Slo-
can district, has been destroyed by fire and
nearly all its 100 people are homeless and
ruined. Kasto Is twenty-eight miles from

was only about $4,000. The danes started
between Spencer's Hall and Browns store.
Two streams seemed to hold the flames in
check for a while. Then one stream gave
out and the flames spread rapidly. After
that it was only matter of the fire burn
ing itself out The miners hospital and
drug store were blown up In an effort to
stop the flames. BY this time all the lower
part of town. including the Tenderloin and
the firemen blew up the Echo Hotel, one
of the finest buildings in the Kootenai

stroyed. Relief measures were taken in
stantly. The officials of Sandon donated
5000 and mining men there gave 5000, and
Castro sent up special trains with large
supplies OF foods, tents and clothing. More
relief is needed.

GATES CASE IN COURT.
Magistrate Seller VIII Hear Argu-
ments Next Monday.

NEW YORK, May 5.-A hearing of the
case of George A. Lamb against John w.
Gates, chairman of the board Of directors
of the American Steel and Wire Company.
on a complaint that Mr.. Gates had violated
the penal code in making false allegations
regarding his company. was begun to-day
before Magistrate Seller. The hearing is
TO compel Mr.. Gates to show cause why
warrant should not issue for his arrest.
Mr.. Lamb has acted as his own counsel,
and Delaney Nicoll appeared for Mr.
Gates. Mr. Lamb asked that the case be
set for the 18th inst, and then submitted
a complaint against Mr.. Gates TO which
he made affidavit.
Mr.. Nicoll moved to dismiss the COM
plant on the ground that there had been
no offense within the provisions of the Pc
nal code. He claimed that the newspaper
article complained of was a general state
ment of the condition of the steel and wire
trade and not OF the American Steel and
Wire Company.
Mr.. Lamb said he proposed to show that
the newspaper reporter who wrote the ar
Gates's own gain. He argued that even IL
the statement did not relate specifically to
the business Of the company the article
was injurious to that concern. as Mr..
Gates had stated that the American Steel
and Wire Company controlled nearly so
per cent. OF the steel and wire business. He
alleged that the statement in question was
absolutely false.
After Mr.. Nicholl had replied Magistrate
Seller said that he would let the matter
stand over until next Monday at p. N.
He made this date. as he said he under
stood that Mr. Gates was soon to depart for
Europe. He told Mr.. Lamb that he might
obtain, In the meantime, the subpoenas of
those whom he wanted TO appear at the
hearing.
