PETERSON KILLED
By FLYING EMERY

SEATTLE, Sept. 24.-William Pet
erson. aged p years, builders appren-
tice at Moran & Co.'S ship yard, was
instantly killed in the tool sharpening
room Saturday morning by being
struck on the head by a piece of en-
cry wheel that had broken. Peterson
was grinding a small trowel when in
some manner the tool caught between
the side of the wheel and the frame
that held the stone. A small piece of
the casting broke off from the frame
and wedged the wheel, causing it to
be cut in four parts. One Of these
struck Peterson with terrific force on
the forehead, knocking him backward
twelve feet Another piece flew up
ward and tore a hole in the roof.

Juvenile Burglars.

COUNCIL, Sept. 24.-Within the
past 10 days three dwellings in COun-
Gil have been entered and robbed in
broad daylight, while those living in
the houses were absent. The rODper-
les were a mystery until it was dis
covered that there existed here band
of juvenile burglars, the alleged leader
of whom is not more than II or 10
years of age, while the youngest men,
Der is little more than an infant. The
boys are all members of prominent
Council families and so far none Of
them have been arrested, the plan of
parental punishment being considered
the best way to check their ambitions
OF emulate the immortal Raff1es. The
last house to be robbed was that of
]. ]. Jones, and it was entered by the
young burglars while the family were
spending a few days on their ranch
north of town. The boys broke a
window and gained admission to the
house, after which they ransacked
trunks, shelves and wardrobes In
search of valuables.

JOE MOORE MUST SERVE
Three YEARS IN PRISON

Joe Moore, who was arrested with
John Allen and George Wilson for the
robbery of the Rockford bank last
December, was in Judge Huneke's
court sentenced to four years in :ts
re,1;t+ ntiary and fine of $500. says
til: Spokane Chronicle.
Moore Friday pleaded guilty to the
charge of receiving money, knowing
that it had been stolen. The story told
by Moore is that he received the
money from Allen and Wilson when
on his way to Waverly to work on a
construction gang, all of the parties
being together drinking. He was sus-
pected of having known of the crime
and of trying to shield the perpetrators
and for this reason his sentence was
made for so long a term.
Allen was sentenced some time ago
to IA years and later Wilson on plead
ing guilty, received a sentence of 10
years.

Chinese importers paid $4,000 duty
into the collector of customs office
at Portland Tuesday afternoon on a
shipment of firecrackeds brought on
the Portland Asiatic Steamship COM
pany's liner Arabia, which arrived
from Hong Kong early Sunday morn
ing. This is the heaviest duty ever
collected in this port on f1recrackers,
and came as sort Of surprise to the
customs officials at this time of the
year with the glorious Fourth so far
in the distance, says a Portland re-
port. A large quantity of crackers is
desired for points in the east and the
southern states, and 1875 packages
were shipped through in bond without
the payment of duty here.
Firecrackers are cheap in China, but
come high here because of the tariff
the government demanding cents for
every pound of fireworks brought here
from foreign shores. The shipment
upon which duty was collected
amounted to 3O45 packages, weighing
about 63 tons, or, to be more exact,
127,5OO pounds. The value Of these
firecrackers is placed at $3.50, or $3.50
less than the amount of the duty.

that she was a kissing bug and was
looking for a pair. of wings, she made

Mrs. Payne declared that all she lack

in such an emergency as this the
city has the power to draft all able
bodied voters into the service and re-
quire them to work as long as neces-
sary for the protection of the city.
There are about 1900 registered
voters within the city, and should it
be necessary to draft them, the regis
tration rolls will be taken and, say
100 men, taken at a time. The work
will be estimated so as to divide the
same as equally as possible among
the citizens. The regular wages Of a
common laborer will be paid"
While the city does not wish to go
into the CONSUMPTION business. Coun-
Gilman Hinkle says that in his opinion
workmen can be secured in no other
way, and it would be better for each
man to work five or six days than for
the city to be swept away this winter.
