roaring up the elevator shafts. A high
wind was blowing and it was impos-

Kingfisher and other surrounding
cities, but the high wind did the work
before help could arrive. The fire is
held to be Of an inccndiary origin.

STRIKE NOT FEARED.
Little Prospect Of Any in Wooden Mills
in This Vicinity.

There is not much fear of a strike
in the mills of the American Wooden
Co. in this vicinity. In Vassalboro the
union will not cut much of a figure. 1t
is understood that the delegates of the
strikers have been there and that they
were not able to make much of an inn
preston on the men. Most of the men
employed in that mill are natives of
the town who will not be much in
fluenced by the grievances of their fell
low workers in another state. Some of
the transcients are union men but it is
understood that the union Is not strong
enough to have much influence in the
mill.
The conditions at the mill in Fair
field are much the same, The men have
no grievances in either of these mills
and are paid as well as anywhere in
the State. In Skowhegan it is UNDER

CATTLEMEN'S WAR.
Two Men and 1900 Sheep Killed in
Wyoming, Saturday.

Evanston, Wyo., March 30.-Added to
the fencing of government lands, the
range war has broken out afresh from
invasions of the sheep men in
the cattlemen's territory.
Reports just received from the big
piney district, Uintah county, tell of a
ba tile fought there, yesterday, between
sheep herders and cowboys, in which
two men We're either fatally wounded
or killed outright. Two cattlemen were
wounded. 1t is also reported that 1900
sheep We're dubbed to death.
Details are meagre because of the
distance from telegraph points to the
region where the conflict occurred. 1t
that the sheepmeu have adj
vanced beyond the line established by
the cattlemen last summer, and some
of them have raised fences.

stood that there is slightly more rea-
son for a sympathetic strike. But the
conditions there are not very favorable
for this and there is little fear that it
will be accomplished. 1t is understood
that the delegates have visited all the
mills of the company in this section
but without much success.
Those interested in the mills do not
think that the union will develop suffi-
cient strength in the State to cause a
strike. The Riverview of this city is
an Independent mill.

STEAMER LAKE SUPERIOR
With 1000 immigrants Ashore in Fiar-
Dor at St. John.

st. John, n. B., March 30.-The
steamer Lake Superior from Liverpool
coming to anchor in upper quarantine,
late this afternoon, dragged her anchor
or broke a chain and swung onto the
Round reef Efforts are being made
to get the steamer off.
Troop & Son, agents of the Elder
Dempster Co, owners of the Lake Su-
perior, say they expect the steamer
is all right. The vessel is still on the
reef but they say the bottom is soft.
Efforts to float her are abandoned for
the present because of the falling tide,
but will be resumed at o'clock, to-
morrow morning.
There are about 1000 immigrants
aboard. If the ship cannot be hoatcd
at the next effort the passengers will
be taken off and conveyed to Sand
Point immigration building.
The strong current which is running in
the harbor because of the freshet condi-
lions was the cause of the Lake Supe-
rior'n anchor dragging. She arrived
from Liverpool about $50 with 1900 tons of
freight and 1890 passengers. OF these G.
are second cabin and the other steerage
bound for the United States and the Ca
madam West.
After being passed at Quarantine the
Lake Superior came up the harbor. Pilot
Rogers was aboard and two tugs were
alongside but had not hold for it was
decided to anchor in the stream. The
port anchor was dropped but the current
came strong against the ship. which drift
ed broadside into the mussel bed between
the government pier and the Ground reef
before the tugs could take hold. The
tugs failed to pull the ship off and there
was nothing to do but await the high
tide of tomorrow morning
The ship is apparently uninjured, is
making no water and soundings show
that the bottom all round is mud so
there is every hope that she will be float
ed. The Lake Superior's skipper is Capt.
G. Thompson.

PETITION FOR PARDON.

To his Excellency, Governor A. II. Lon
gino. Governor of the State of Missis-

We, the undersigned citizens of Perry
county, Mississippi, and vicinity, re-
specially petition your excellency to
pardon Isham Boothe, convicted of
arson at the October. 1901, term of the
circuit court of the second judicial dis
trict of the county of Perry, state of
Mississippi. and sentenced to term of
FIVE years in the penitentiery, for the
causes set out below:
First. Because his conviction rests
almost entirely upon circumstantial
evidence of an indefinite, unreliable and
misleading character, upon which we do
not believe a conviction should be al.
lowed to stand;
Second. The principal state witness,
Will Lang, is wholly unreliable and
unworthy of belief, and but for his evil
dence, we do not believe a conviction
would have been permitted to stand;
Third. We believe, as a matter oil
fact, that the said defendant is innocent
of said charge and was enormously con-
victed, because of testimony unworthy
of belief (not criticislng court UT jury
and
Fourth. We believe, that although
the defendant were guilty, the ends OIL
justice have been met,-that he is re-
formed and will make law-abidins
citizen from this time forward; and We
believe his record in the penitentiary
will confederate this view
