1T PROTECTS PRISONERS.


Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 2G.--The
Missouri supreme court made n rul-
ing with reference TO confessions Of
persons charged with murder in the
first degree. The court holds that
when u person 50 charged makes II
confession to the crime of his own free
will that is sufficient evidence TO JUS
tify conviction, but when u confession
is prompted by fear of mob violence,
then the confession is not admissible
in court, and the court should so
instruct the Jury.

l.. O. Allen Bankruptcy Case.

Pursuant to a call for meeting of the
creditors of l.. o. Allen, bankrupt, +. W.
futile of Vergennes, referee, met the
creditors or their attorneys in the office
of f. B. Deberville Monday, to consider
whether the creditors would accept a
compromise of 10 per cent from Allen.
Only few creditors were present.
Messrs. Eldredge & Deberyille, attorneys
for the largest foreign creditors, refused
TO entertain this proposition. Mr.. Allen
is now circulating petition among local
creditors endeavOring to get ajority
in number and amount to accept his
offer. If he succeeds in this the next
proceedings will be hearing before the
the district court for confirmation. If
the court denies the petition on the
ground that ii is not for the best interests
of the estate, appraisers will be appoint
ed and the case will go along under
regular proceedings in bankruptcy, which
will necessitate the sale of the entire
property and the contesting of several
of the mortgages.

Oh LANDMARK BURNED.

The Haskell Store-Building in West Cofnt
wall Destroyed-Over5 80 Years Old.
The old store building in West Corn
wall, owned by Mr.. Haskell and occupied
by MIR. Atwood as a general store, was
discovered to be on fire Monday night at
about 0 80, and was burned to the
ground. A large number of citizens
gathered at the call, but 1t was quickly
seen that no effort could save the build
ing or contents, although very few ar
ticles were taken from the back part.
Mr.. Atwood and his clerk, Mathew
Austin, who were asleep in their room
over the store, cannot arrive at any salts
factory conclusion as to the cause of the
fire; whether it was from burning SCOT,
as there had been a lively fire In the
stove late in the evening, or a lamp Mr..
Haskell, owner of store, insured /; also Mr..
Atwood's goods. Mr.. Atwood lost all
his clothing, except what he could catch
and put on In haste. Mr.. Austin escaped
with his everyday suit, but hatless.
The smoke woke Mr.. Austin and he in
turn woke Mr.. Atwood. They procured
ladders and made an attempt to secure
their clothing, but without avail. Mr..
Atwood and young Austin were soon
overcome with exhaustion and the smoke
and heated air they had inhaled and were
taken in Tan unconscious state to Mr..
Twitchelrs. Mr.. Austin recovered in
about two hours and was able to 90 to his
boarding place toward morning; but
Mr.. Atwood did not know his friends I'M
til morning, and was in a critical state
nearly all night.
For while 1t seemed Jas though the
other fine buildings of Mr.. Haskell must
burn, but watchfulness and slight shift
of the wind saved them. Then the
houses on the east side of the street were
in peril as the wind carried burning pa
per and bits of burning wood constantly
in their direction. There had been a
light fall of rain in the evening, which
was really the salvation of several fine
homes. Mr.. Atwood lost quite a sum of
money besides that in the cash drawers
and the postoffice loses a little. The
safe was taken from the smoking mass
Tuesday morning and the books were
found intact, one only being burned
somewhat.
The rear part of the store was nearly
if not quite hundred years old and the
main part over fifty, so it will be much
missed as an old landmark of the place.
Mr.. Haskell has not yet decided whether
he will rebuild or not. Mr.. Haskell, as
postmaster, will receive and deliver mail
at his home for the present. I

Holland Bros. Suffer Loss Of Hard.
ware Stock.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Gebo was visited by fire yesterday,
which destroyed the largest business
establishment in the city, that of
the Holland Lumber and Hardware
company.
The fire started at about 6 o'clock
yesterday morning and before it's pro-
gress could be stayed had burned the
hardware store, warehouse and the
residence Of j. ]. Holland, and the res
idence Of Mrs. Hague. Holland Bros.
were able to save about one-third Of
their hardware stock, which they
managed to get out Of the burning
building, but their loss is, neverthe-
less, heavy, fully covered by an in
surance of $4,000.
The printing Office of the Carbon
County Sentinel, which was not far
distant from the burning buildings,
narrowly escaped destruction.
How the fire originated was not
learned. The wind at the time was
blowing in q westerly direction, thus
tanning the fire from other buildings
to the east OF the Holland company,
saving them from destruction.

SUICIDE KNOWN IN BILLINGS.
Mrs. Mabel Walker Formerly Resided
in This City.

Readers of The Gazette will remem.
Der having read the account of the
suicide Of Mrs. Mabel Walker, which
occurred at Lincoln, Neb, June 3,
wherein Mrs. Walker and j. Albert
Brink, crazed by love, took poison.
Mrs. Walker died soon after, but by
the use of restoratives Brink sur.
vived.
1t now transpires that Mrs. Walker
was formerly Miss Mabel Root,
daughter Of N. ID. Root, former gen.
eral manager of the Northern Pacific
railroad, and enjoyed quite an &C.
quaintance in this city. During the
reign of Thos. Hogan as local agent
for the Northern Pacific, Miss Root
was his s~tenograpner. She was q
very pretty girl, and by her winsome
ways won many friends not only
among those Of her sex, but the op'
posite, as well, and it is said that at
least n young nan Of this city was
engaged to her at n time. Mrs,
Walker visited Billings last summer,
the guest of 4.lrs. C. M. Child.
Miss Root was only about Is years
Of age at the time of her marriage to
j.. L. Walker, a travelling man, some
three years ago. Her mother is said
to be living now at Puyallup, Wash.
Mrs. Walker carried a large bank &C
count with one of the Billings banks
at the time OF her death.

THESE ARE AWFUL.
William J. Bryan League Of Chicago
Is Defunct.

Chicago special: William J. Bryan
is out of politics SO far as the demo
Gratis Of Cook county and Chicago are
concerned. Through the abolition OF
the WILLIAM J.. Bryan league of Chi
cago the last local organization that
bore the name Of the Nebraskan has
dropped out of existence.
The organization ceased to exist
yesterday afternoon. Five hundred
men who had hitherto been loyal to
the man who was twice the nominee
Of the democratic party for president,
left the organization and joined the
Carter III. Harrison league. The only
member Of the Bryan league at the
present time is its president, Carter
H. Harrison. 1t liz hardly probable,
however, that the mayor will en-.
deavor to fight the organization
which has resulted in the abolition
Of the league of which he is presi.
dent. AS far as is known, he has no
objection to it's members joining the
Carter Harrison league and is not
likely to quarrel with it's organizer,
Robert E. Burke, for the work that
he has done in forcing the William
J. Bryan league to disband.
AhOkAOA oA0Q at L4O INC uOl1O-
cratic candidate for president comes
from the Cook county democracy.
Hitherto the organization has tender.
ed invitations to Mr.. Bryan to attend
its picnics. These invitations have
been declined, but for four years the
organization has continued to send
the letters asking him to deliver ad-
dresses at their picnics. This year
for the first time since the Chicago
convention of 1896, no missive has
been sent to the twice-defeated can
didate. Officers Of the county democ.
racy explain their failure to invite
Bryan by stating that he has always
refused their invitations and it was
useless to request him to attend. One
of the officers, more frank than the
others, said:
well, / guess we don't want him
here, anyway. He is a dead one"
This expression seems to describe
the feeling that exists among the
democrats Of Chicago In regard to
the former national leader. In spite
of Bryan's wi declaration that he
has not withdrawn from politics and
is prepared to consider another nomi-
nation, the democrats Of Cook county
refuse to consider him as a possible
candidate or even as a prominent
leader.

MADE AN AsslcNM ENT
Camp Commercial Company Assigns
for Benefit Of Creditors.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
There was filed in the Office Of the
county clerk and recorder yesterday
an instrument Of assignment by the
Camp Mercantile company Of Laurel,
in the name Of Christian Yegen OF
Billings, in behalf Of numerous cred
iotrs. Neither the amount Of liabili-
ties o assets are mentioned. The
stock carried by this Arm was a large
n and their debts are said to have
been quite heavy. 1t is not believed
that the store will be closed, but
rather the stock will be sold out by
the assignee. In the papers OF assign
ment the company asks, first: That
all the preferred debts be paid; sec
ond, that the costs and charges be
paid; third, that the common credit
ors be paid pro rata; and fourth, that
the surplus be paid to Camp Bros.
