ROOSEVELT AND LYNCH|hG
HE WRITES A LETTER FOR PUB
LEGATION.
commends Gov. Durbin of Indiana on
His Attitude Toward Recent Occur
rences in His State-President Calls
Mob Violence Form of Anarchy
and Anarchy Forerunner Of Tyranny.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 10-In letter, the
publication of which was authorized,
President Roosevelt commends Gov
ernor Durbin of Indiana for the atti-
tude he assumed recently respecting
lynchings. The president also en-
braces the opportunity to express his
own views in reference to lynching
and mob violence generally, saying
mob violence is one form of anarchy
and that anarchy is forerunner of
tyranny. The president vigorously
urges that penalty for crimes that in
duce a resort to lynching shall be ap-
piled swiftly and surely, but by due
process of the courts, so that it may
be deemed strictly that the law is
adequate to deal with crime by freeing
it from every vistige Of technicality
and delay"

GREAT CRAP GAME.
A Young Swiss Plays Pretty Stiff
Game,

San Francisoo.-A record breaking
crap game was witnessed in Tona-
pah saloon recently. A young Swiss,
agent for big steel company, who
had been collecting from mining COM
panies, decided to put in last night in
a contest with the tiger. He had a
large amount Of the company's funds
in the form of Wells-Fargo drafts. The
young Swiss played in bad luck until
he had lost sum estimated by look
erson at from $4,000 to 100000. Fl
nally, amidst intense excitement, the
young sport placed a fortune on the
line, the lookerson estimating the
amount to be 100000, and if the play
err had lost fortune of 100000 would
have passed into the hands of the own
ers of the game, but fortunately for
him, he won. With great sigh of
relief he remarked: Gentlemen, l
am now even again, and l will hereaf-
ter play a quiet and gentlemanly
game"
He began again with so cents, but
luck turned once more against him,
and toward morning he quit loser by
$4,000.
In the morning he left Tonapah on
the stage for Sodaville, after having
spent the whole night in one of the
greatest games on record.

BREWSTER, WASH, BURNED.
Principal Business Portion Destroyed
Two Business Houses Left.

Brewster, Wash, Aug 1O.-Fire has
destroyed the principal business por-
ton of this town. Only two business
houses are left standing. The loss is
about $4,000, with a total insurance
of $4,000.
Brewster is located on the Columbia
river, near the mouth of the Okanogan
river, and is town of about 200 in
habitants.
The fire originated in DR.. McKinley's
drug store. Flames were first discover.
ed coming from the front of the drug
store. The most generally accepted
theory is that the extreme heat of the
sun against the glass of the show win.
dow caused some of the chemicals to
explode and start the blaze.
The wind was strong, and despite
the heroic work of the men and use
of innumerable SO called fire ex
tinguishers, the fire gained rapidly and
soon had three fourths of the town
wrapped in flames.

THREE CHILDREN BURNED UP.
Big Bend Farmers Awful Calamity
While Absent.

Coulee City, Wash, Aug. 10.-Three
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Whitehead
the Oldest child six years of age, the
youngest baby of IS months, burned
to death in cottage on their parents

burned off.
The parents went out to work dig
ging a well, which is beyond small
hill, leaving the three children on the
bed fast asleep. There was fire in
the cook stove Shortly afterwards
neigbbor named Claude came running
down inquiring where their children
we're. They stated they had left them
in the house asleep, when he informed
them that their house was all ablaze.
A frantic rush was made for the house,
but it had burned to the ground and
the children with it, and the parents
were unable to do anything. They
found the charred remains where the
bed on which they had been sleeping
stood when the parents left the house.
The origin of the fire remains mys-
terry. Both parents are Frustrated, and
the mother at this time is very low.
The parents and neighbors were not
burned in any way, as they were una
BILE to get near the house, on account
of the heat. 1t was small frame
building and had collapsed before the
parents reached it. The mother,
screaming, crying and wringing her
hands, stood there, but all hope was
gone. They need aid.
