is now the property of T. ]. Cheney.
the dairyman, and the burned house
was occupied by an employe named
Carey and his family. Three thous-
and dollars insurance was carried on
the place by Mr.. Cheney, the same
being in a company represented by
Joe Ell.
The fire last night which started
between 10 and IL o'clock, was the
second one which occurred yesterday.
During the forenoon the kitchen OF
the house caught fire while Mrs.
Carey was ironing. However before
the blaze could gain much headway
Robert Kruger, son-in-law of Mr..
| Cheney, and a hired man both IF
whom were at the place, extinguish,
ed it by carrying water in milk cans
and throwing on the fire.
At the time it was presumed the
fire was entirely out, but some smol-
dering embers remained, and last
night they again burst into flame.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the Carey
| family was awakened to find the en-
tire kitchen ablaze and the fire rapid
ly spreading. Within a short time Mr..
| Cheney and his men arrived from his
home place further down the creek,
ard assisted by neighbors did every
thing possible to save the house. How
ever, the flames had gotten under
such headway that it was useless to
| fight them with water from buckets.
/ Owing to the size of the house it
burned for some time and the light
caused by the conflagaration could be
plainly seen froms town.
Erected in 1870.
The burned house was one of the
/ oldest in this section of the county,
and when built, was one of the best
in the county. 1t was erected 80
years ago, two years after the county
seat was moved to Pendleton from
Umatilla, and 12 years before the
building of the railroad. The lumber
for the house was hauled from UNA
tilla Landing.
The Tanning place and an adjoin-
| ing ranch are now owned by T. ].
| Cheney and as there are four houses
on the two places the loss of the old
one will not be severely felt
Troubles Not Singly for Cheney.
That misfortunes do not always ap-
pear singly was proven this morn
ing when Mr.. Cheney, owner of the
burned house, had a runaway with his
milk wagon on the street. About
o'clock he was near the corner of the
Savings bank with one of the dairy
wagons and the team became fright

After the regular performance the
weekly amateur performance was given.
f. Milton Watson, reader OF the Glee
clubs and "a member OF the senior class,
was dragged TO the stage and started TO

the selection short. Had he not jumped
quickly back TO his seat i'm the audience,
whence he had been thrust forth by his
comrades, Grumpy would have suffer-

II was expected by the Brown men
that Hep Pearsall and r.. w. McPhee,
who in college vaudeville have made pro-

of the class: but after the unwarranted
chilly reception accorded Mr.. Watson
there were no further aspirants from

JUST HOW HAMLET

A friend of Edwin Booth's--whom we
will call Mr.. Ray--once approached the
actor at the Players club, where. as usual
ne was surrounded by an admiring circle.
Booth glanced up. saw who was about to
address him, and. 10 Rays profound
amazement, deliberately and cody turned
his back.
without comment or visible annoyance
Ray quietly left the club. nor did he later
ask an explanation. He knew there was
some mistake, but left II to Booths gen
erous nature To discover and right the
wrong. A few days later a friend said:
Ray. how could you have done such
thing as play a practical joke, and upon

~fIere was Rays chance. II never play

stantly replied Certainly I should not

AUTO WRECKED STORE,
FIVE ESCAPED DEATH
Continued from Page one.)

The party, which comprised ri. G.. Sam
uels OF this city. II. III. Samuels OF New
York, S. NJ. Samuels OF Pawtucket, Will
liam Schloss of this city and Fred Moore
OF Boston, were returning to Providence
from a trip to Fall River in an automibile
owned by the Thomas & Lowe Machinery
company of this city, No. A16.
The car was running along Child street
In East Warren at a good speed: and
Just as the auto neared the corner OF
Child street and Metacom avenue Mr..
Samuels saw the buggy turning into Child
street
Realizing at once that il was impossible
TO keep I'm the road without crashing into
the buggy he sheered abruptly off to one
side.
The auto struck the Provost drug store
building on the northwest corner, with a
crash that was heard long distance; and
the door posts the three large windows
and the clapboards yielded like kindling
wood.
The inner woodwork was ripped off. and
the show cases were thrown from the
counters to the floor. Bottles of all de-
scriptions were piled In mass upon the
floor; and the store looked as IL 1t had
suffered from an earthquake.
G. IL Duval, the clerk at the store, was
inside at the time but was uninjured.
The men in the auto were thrown 20
the ground by the shock OF the collision,
which made the 'front.' portion or the ma
chine a mass OF tangled machinery. The
lights, screen and bars were twisted off
and mingled with the splintered woodwork
of the outside Of the store building. The
wheels were badly smashed, and the ma
chine was put completely out Of commits
sion.
Ii. IL Samuels was the only one seri-
ously enough hurt to need a physician,
although II. c. Samuels complained OF
having had his shoulder wrenched. Drs.
I. G. Morriseau and Aaron Scott attended
the injured
After the extent OF the injuries to the
members of the Samuels party was learn
ed, it was found that the driver OF the
buggy had steered to the other side of'the
road TO avoid the auto. and that the
wheels had apparently been cramped.
overturning the buggy and throwing out
the two occupants.
Neither was injured and after the
wagon had been righted they drove south
ward, declining to give their names.
Mr.. Provost estimates the loss on his
store at about $500 though It was diff
cult to give accurate figures owing TO the
confusion into which the stock of the
store had been thrown.
The auto was towed TO the barn OF
Chief OF Police Macomber for the night:
and the Samuels party came 10 Providence
by rail.

MONTO CARLO MANAGERS
RUN A GAMBLERS SCHOOL

The Monte Carlo casino trains all its
onn croupers, and very rigorous that
training is says the Detroit Tribunes
When an applicant is favorably consider
ed for training he has to come up for a
medical examination. After this examn-
alton the recruit To the croupier's chair
comes UP for six hours training every
day in the school which Is situated at
the back OF tho casino, provided that he
can prove he has been a resident in the
principality OF Monaco for at least year.
Throwing money Is one OF the most i'm
port items of the curriculum. for IL Is
Imperative that croupier shall be able
to throw a handful of money so that it
will pitch with unfsiling precision on any
spot on the table. To throw money quick
lv and SO that it does not pitch on end
and roll is not so easy as II seems and IL
Is generally three weeks before the young
croupier satisfies his trainer that he is
proficient I'm this art.
Now comes the most difficult part OF
the training. learning TO reckon money
mechanically The croupier must never
count; if he did the slow progress of the
game would try the patience of all tho
players. He must become veritable
ready reckoner and this. of course, only
comes by practice. But TO prove TO what
a high state this reckoning can be
brought Il may be said that before a
Croupier passes to the casino trained stdll
he is able to tell the values OF the coins
An his hand simply by the feel of them
that is to say he could pick up number
OF coins and without pauslng could tell
their value.
Every day each pupil is made to sit as
croupier at a table around which are
gathered his fellow pupils, who start
playing with metal disks OF sizes and
values equlval,v, to the coins used at the
tables. Thls test Is a trying one for the
budding croupler. Everyone does his best

cloth and IL his mind does not take In the
