DISASTROUS FIRE.
Continued from page l.

on that block would be destroy.
ed. but breeze sprung up from
the southwest and helped to hole
the flames back. The livery
stable of A. j. Long, on the
north side of the block, was also
in great danger, but stead,
application of water kept it from
burning.
AS is usually the case in such ac.
cidents, no one knows how the fire
originated. and various theories
have been advanced, but none OF
them throw any light on the
subject. 1t is probable that ii
was an accident. however, it could
have been the work of fire bugs,
as the stairway and hall in which
the fire was first discovered were
never closed and any one could
have gone in there and started
the fire. But if this was the case
it will never be known.
The loss of the Grisham Drug
Company is about $4,000, with
insurance on the building, stock
and fixtures to the amount of
$1,000. The j. G.. Teagle house
and stock was partially covered
by insurance, but the loss In none
of the cases has been adjusted
as yet. Ii is estimated that the
damage to goods in the two stores
which were saved from burning
Is about 25 per cent. The fix
lures in the dental parlors of
Shaw & Long were partially in
sured. In the rear of the TeaeIe
store was the office of DIR. j. j.
Peters. A portion of it was
saved. from the fire. The
City Barber Shop, located be-
tween the Fisher and Wright
stores, sustained but little dam
age, and while the damage to all
is great, those sustaining damage
are glad that they got off as
lightly as they did. 1t was only
BY the most heroic work that the
entire block was not DESTROYED.

was also lost.
The men whose houses were
destroyed have not yet decided
whether they will rebuild, but it |
5 probable they will, and that |

PARISH POLITICS.

Local politics is beginning to
warm up a bit and many of those
interested are wanting to know
..where we are at" The state
committee having decided on a
primary election for next Janu-
ary, it is now the duty of our
parish committee to get together
and decide on what time we shall
hold a primary for the nomina-
ton Of parish officers. 1t is
probable that the committee will
cali a primary on the same date
as the state primary, and it seems
that would be the best time, how
ever, the committee will decide
that matter when it meets.
The matter which is concerning
those interested most is how the
primary is going to be conducted,
it being conceded that primary
will be held.
In view of the fact that in the
last elections the people in this
parish voted every way for Sum
day. it is not certain that a
strictly Democratic primary will
prove the most satisfactory.
Some people who are wanting to
enter the approaching election as
a candidate for some office, but
who did not support the Demo-
cratic ticket IN the last election,
don't know If they will be allow
ed to run in a Democratic pri-
mary. 1t is fact that they are
going to make an effort to run in
the primary and are anxious to
have an 'openo primary ordered.
The Sentinel believes it the
duty OF the committee to weigh
the subject carefully and to do
what it thinks best in the premises,
but we desire to be understood
as favoring Il strictly Democratic
primary. only Democrats to
participate. it being provided,
however. that those who are not
known Democrats but will pledge
themselves to vote the ticket, be
allowed to vote. And another
provision which we would be glad
10 see the committee make is,
that none but Democrats be
allowed to place their names on
the ticket to be used in the prI-
mary. Ii the Democrats are
going to hold primary election
it should be for Democrats only
and we hope to see the committee
surround the primary with all the
rules necessary to make it such.

THE TWIN BROOKS AFFAIR
A Few Words from Mr.. T.. II.
Atwood

The HERALD ADVANCE is in
receip pt of a com mmunication fr ON
E. F.. Atwood of Twin Brooks,
about whose domestic relations
he says a garbled account has
been published. Mr.. Atwood in
his statement says he was de-
serted by his wife, who had
several hundred dollars of her
own. He spent a few years in
Wisconsin, where he obtained d
divorce, giving him the custody
of the children. The fact that
he was unprepared to assert his
claims to the children led him to-
suppress the document. He con
siders, after mature deliberation,
to leave the children in care Of
the mother, and provide in part.
at least, for their support. He
says any Of his kind (?) friends,
who care to take the trouble may
inspect his decree of divorce and
look for something new to talk
about. He says it is a question
whether the public has not the
right to know more of others
private affairs in order that
there be no ground for suspi-
cion, vet there is no doubt that
this would be a much more
pleasant old world. if each would
'sweep his own door STEP

DRILLED FOR GOLD
Using Oil Field Methods at
Cape Nome Mine

"J w. Kelly a well known Pitts
burger, has made the richest
strike of many years in the Cape
Nome gold fields, and made it in
a way that is likely fo revo-
lutionize the methods of pros
pectors. Mr.. Kelly went into the
gold fields with the same drill
that he used in the Pennsylvania
and Texas oil fields, and by the
use of this inexpensive machine
located very rich gold bearing
gravel. The gravel brought up
by the drill showed a value
of IS to the pan, far beyond the
best ever found in California and
the product of a shaft sunk last
winter runs as high as $40 to
the pan or S4O0 to the yard.
"Mr. Kelly is now in tsburg
buying machinery to ship to his
claims. which are located within
ten miles of Nome City. The
size and value of the veins of
gravel discovered may be
guessed from the fact that
45 car loads, chiefly of pumping
machinery, will be loaded at
Seattle in June consigned to
Mr.. Kelly's claims. The output
of the mine is estimated by M.
S. Leach, an old mining man of
Boulder, Col, at $4,000 a day.
Several oil men of Pittsburg
are interested with Mr. Kelly in
his rich field, chief among them
being Mr.. Theodore N. Barns
dali. The company is a small
one, with plenty of money to
operate the mine, and there is
no stock on the market.
The above item from Pitts
burg paper, refers to the mining
country in which the Ranous
mining property is located. The
properties on which Mr.. Kelly
is at work are located in the
Nome river and Kougarok dis
