Is BURNED
At Least Nothing Since Report of
 Fire Can Be Heard

Bakersfield, Cal, June 6.-Word w2s received here at 3:15 o'clock this after noon through the Southern Pacific telegraph office that the entire town of Randsburg was completely destroy ed by fire, which broke out at noon All efforts to communicate with Randsburg since then failed. as both the telephone and the Western Union telegraph offices nave been destroyed. A high wind is prevailing on the desert and as the town lies along one street and has no fire protection it is proba- hle that nothing has been saved.
 County Attorney w. H. Wilson. who owns the telephone line to Randsburg and Mojave. also received q message from the manager at Mojavc confirm ing the report.
 The town of Randsburg is one of the principal mining camps of southern California. It is in the center of the richest district in Kern county and in the extreme southeastern portion just in the line of San Bernardino county. It has a population of 1,500 people en- tirely engaged in mining and mines surrounding it are now nearly all run ming full capacity. Also large boraX works are there. It is built entirely of frame houses and q fire starting there would have little difficulty in wiping the town out of existence. The loss will probably reach $500, 900.

DEWEYS ARE IN DANGER

 Slayers ofthe Berrys.

Topeka, Kas.. June Ex-Governor Bailey today received telegram from the sheriff of Cheyenne county, Kas.. that he could not protect the Dewey ranchmen under arrest there for the al- legged murder of the occupants of the Berry ranch three days ago. Acting on this information Governor Bailey to- night ordered. at 11:15 D. m., the mili- tia at Osborne to hold themselves in readiness to go to St. Francis tonight at a moments notice.
 The Deweys are now under arrest at their ranch. The sheriff says he can protect them there we'll enough, but that when the attempts to move the men to the Cheyenne county jail a mob will surely kill them. The settlers are much angered at the Deweys and the lives of the latter are in great danger
 The Deweys are charged with killing E. M. Berry and his two sons during quarrel regarding the possession of some land. This is only another chap ter of the ever present fight between the settlers and cattlemen. Both sides are exerting every energy to get full possession of the western country and fights are of almost daily occurrence.

BURST IN GRAIN
The Firm of Eppinger & Go.
 Fails
BIGGEST ON THE COAST
It Had Gone Long on Shipping ves- sells and the Season Was Short on Wheat.

San Francisco. June 6.-Eppinger S Co.,. this city. one of the largest grain dealing firms in the United States. went under today. The crash came suddenly and for a time threatened tO complete ly upset the local grain market AS iJ was the announcement of the failure caused a big bObbing of prices on change and wrought up such an eN- citement as has not been witnessed ca the floor in many years.
 Henry Ach, attorney for Eppinger S Co.,, this afternoon said. At a meeting of creditors held in my office it was proved by the books that the firms lia- bilities were in the neighbOrhOOd of Si.- 250.OOO. The assets. consisting pTinci- pally of lands, wheat and general and personal property. are placed at S1oO.- GOO. Nearly all creditors are partially or wholly secured.
 In addition to grain trading. the nrm of Eppinger & Co. did a big business in warehouses aside from the Big Four interest in the Port Costa warehouse. The firm controlled immense grain stor- age plants throughout the Sacramento and the San Joaquin valleys. and in an the grain centers of the state. Among there were warehouses at Dixon. Wood land, Arbuckle, Stockton. Modesto and PasO Robles. They had connections with every European grain port. and the firm as a usual thing held many charters on grain-carry ing ships
 Jacob Eppinger. the head of the firm. has been in ill-health for some years and has been forced to turn over the affairs of the management much of the time to his associates. A few years ago he was reputed to be worth SSoo0. 0o0
 It is the general opinion that the cause of the failure of Eppinger X Co dates back five or six months ago. when the Big Four combine was caught heavily long on ships chartered al high prices last year and short on wheat. which had been sold as low as S1.05 and which rose to S1.5O- The combine was given a very severe squeeze and it was currently reported that it's losscs amounted to $S,O00.OO0. IL Is believed the losers shared the loss on equal terms This would result in a net loss of s750, 600 to the firm IL has been the custom of the concern. it is declared. tp advance considerable sums of money to farmers throughout the state on wheat crops. and it is probable that this was done thIs year Present reports from Nilc NGAANHS NAAdA NAnlS W AAA RE NNA-A- paritive failures.
 The final crash was precipitated by the London. Paris and American bank. which within the last two or three days made peremptOry and heavy demands on the firm Of Eppinger & Co The obligations were pressing and the firm could not meet them.
 At a meeting of the creditors today it was decided to commence an inveSti- gation of the firms affairs Charles Altschul. who acted as chairman. will appoint committee for the purposc and will probably name the selections at meeting to be held early next week possibly on Monday. Until the com mittee reports it will be impossible to know what the result of the failure will he.

NOT NECESSARILY INSANE
Those Who Manifest an Interest in
 Spiritualism.

New York, June 6.-The will which has been contested. by relatives on the ground that Mrs. A. D. Thompson, who made it and left the bulk of her estate to Joseph H. Mapan, protege of her husband. was under the influence of spiritualists and not of sound mind, has been admitted to probate by Sur rogate Thomas. The latter said on en- tering the order: Almost every one some time investigates what is known as American spiritualism. That some people believe they can have communi- cations with loved ones in the other world is well known fact, but the fact of that belief is no ground for setting aside a persons wishes in a last will and testament"

That dear old nelghbor we knew as "Aunty" and who lived down the street was no relation of course except that her tender old heart made her "Aunty' 10 all the young people. And how she did love the young mothers! One who remembers her says: we could al- ways depend on 'Aunty' for good sound advice. She was particularly we'll in formed on food and what to use for certain troubles. After having taught in the public schools for years my health became Dad and I suffered fre- quently from indigestion. After my marriage I had indigestion so badly it became chronic.
