About 4:9O o'clock in the afternoon a
splendidly bad little boy in that neigh
borhood, who is not known. extracted
a handful of matches from his mothers
kitchen. He had great sport scratching
them on the wall for a while, but that
palled on him. Then he tried lighting
them with his teeth. but the sulphur was
found to be indigesuble, and he began
burning paper. but he was chased away
by good little boys.
At last. impelled by some strange freak.
he lighted several Of the matches in tF#A
Irish fashion, and. after giving the flames
good start within his hands, dropped
them in a letter box. He waited a mo-

while a few more. AS the first curls of
smoke issued forth the mischievous
youngster ran away.
The smoke attracted the attention of
Guy Neeley, a druggist, at Eleventh and

not until twenty letters had been de-
stroyed. No arrests have been made.

DESCRIPTION OF WRECK.
Passenger on steamer Roanoke De-
scribes Scene After Disaster.


San Francisco, July 22.-P. c. Walker. a
passenger on the steamship Roanoke.
bound from Portland to Los Angeles,
which arrived IN port to-day, made the
following statement in regard TO the
wreck.
The Roanoke at noon Sunday reached
the scene Of the collision. The surface of
the sea all around the scene OF the col
lision was strewn with wreckage Of the
lost vessel and the deckhouses of the San
Pedro and the deckload of lumber she
was carrying at the time Of the collision.
The steamship George w. Elder ard
two steam schooners. whose names we
failed to hear. as they We're just resum-
ing their course north, were at the scene
The Elder had line fastened to the San
Pedro. and her officers and crew we're en-
deavorlng TO get a towline aboard the
latter in order to tow her to port.
THE San Pedro's aftermast had broken
OFF even with the smokestack. She was
badly listed and waterlogged, and sc low
down at the stern that the sea swept the
afterdeck.
When the Elder was hailed BIZ the
Roanoke, which belongs to the same line.
she neglected to respond. All on board
the Roanoke wondered at the captains
failure to give any information regarding
the disaster in response to our inquiries.
other than that collision had occurred
and that one Of the two steamers which
had come toget 1er had gone down.
We noticed t e shipwrecked passengers
Of the Columbia on the deck Of the Elder
clothed in tablecloths and other tempo
rary covering. and q large bier on the up
per deck on which the bodies recovered
from the sea We're piled and covered with
the American flag
Everything about the scene of the dis
aster and the condition of the San Pedro
indicates that the latter struck the Co.
lumbia bow on, squarely amidships. for
the San Pedro's stem had apparently suf-
fered no damage while the sea was liz
orally covered with wreckage of the lower
cabins and the interior Of the foundered
steamer.
No effort was made to transfer any OF
the survivors of the disaster from the
decks CT the Elder to the Roanoke. Per-
haps this was due TO the fact that the
wind was blowing strong and a sea was
running at the time.

20 Put steve Adams on Stand.

Boise, Idaho, July 22.-Lawyer Z. F.
Richardson. Of Denver. began the argu-
ment for the Haywood defense early this
afternoon. and when he ended for the
day it lacked only few minutes OF
2. m Not that lie talked all that time
without lntermission; on the contrary,
Judge Wood at noon ordered a recess
until 6 o'clock. The heat was so severe
that the court feared for the jury. sew
eral of whom are advanced in years, and
evening sessions will be the rule from
now until the jury gets the case.

Yer Richardson had 200O0 auditors to-day,

Diseredits Orchards story.
The bulk of the lawyers talk was az
attack on the authenticity OF the crimes
Orchard said re committed, and an argu-
ment that because they resulted disas-
trously TO the Federation. it was highly
unlikely that the Federation inspired
them. One of the most interesting state
ments Richardson made was that, in hi,
judgment, the case had been tried up tC
date with the utmost fairness. The law.

and which also drowned all the engineer

The disaster seems to have been due
to carelessness Of the captain Of the San
Pedro, who was out OF his course. The
vessels crashed together in a heavy fog.
and most Of the passengers who escaped
leaped from the sinking Columbia TO the
decks Of the San Pedro. Capt. Doren. Of

$1,000
Provided for Grand Marais in the Riv
ers and Harbors BILL.

Provided for Grand Marais in the Riv-.
ers and Harbors Bill.
In the rivers and harbors bill recently
reported by the House committee there
is provision for $1,000 appropriation for
the maintenance of Grand Marais har-
Dor. This cannot mean that material
harbor improvements are intended.
According to navigators and others
who have given the matter careful con.
sideration the improvement most need
ed is new pier on the east side to be
extended along the reef in more
southerly direction to better correspond
with the westside pier. This improve
ment, while enlarging the harbor, would
better protect it from northeast gales.
and would he for the betterment OF the
harbor entrance, from the navigator's
standpoint. This change was under.
stood to be contemplated by the Gov
eminent when the breakwater on the
west side was built. But thus work will
not be touched, nor will that of deepen-
ing and enlarging the harbor basin with
the appropriation now proposed. $1,000
would hardly be starter for the work
necessary to give the greatest utility to
the project harbor that nature has
provided here.
The improvements already made must
be kept in condition. 5000 can probably
be used for that purpose.
