The Celt, or the kind of man our
igpGance calls Celt, has shown him
self more than any of his brethren of
other races logged in following his
ideas-whether in politics, in religion
or In social customs-dogged and
dauntless, beaten often, but never CIV

not readily even changing his tactics

Washington, May 27.-Twelve Chi
nese lives is the price paid by SNUG
glers experimenting with q scheme for
the evasion of the immigration laws.
The government has discovered a
dozen orientals who attempted to en-
ter this country by having themselves
Grated and expressed to New York,
weer dead upon their arrival. Acting
Commissioner of Immigration Larned
admitted this morning that a gigantic
smuggling plot had been unearthed on
the Texas border.
Inspector Babcock has gone to New
York, hunting Quong Dou Yen, who
received the corpses from the express
company. A telegram from Quong
to friends at Ell Paso revealed the
plot Interpreter Fling Ming, over

line, hauled them across the river and
expressed them from this side.

|. Oaklond, Calf; May 27.-Arrests
are expected today as a result of the
dynamiting of the three unoccupied
houses owned by former Supervisor
Gallagher, who turned states evil
dence in the fraft trials, last night.
1t is intimated that the police have
information that may lead to the ex-
posure of a plot of surprising char
acter laid against Gallagher by his
enemies.
The explosion last night was the
second attack on Gallaghers, his res
idence being wrecked with dynamite,
April 90.
The police have a description of
suspect whom they expect to capture
with little trouble.
Frank McVaughan, the watchman.
was sitting in tool shed when the
explosion occurred. He says he made
an inspection ten minutes before the
explosion and saw nothing suspicious.
Gallagher had a deal pending to
sell the houses today for $4,000.

SOLDIER SAILORS RISK
LIVES IN TARGET PRACTICE.
Stay on Board Ship While Comrades
Fire Broadsides Into Her Hull.

Thimble Shoal, in Lower Chesa-
peake Bay (by wireless to Fortress
Monroe, 27.-Disregarding the
danger and apparently anxious to ex-
perience open war at sea, Comman-
der Quimby, Lieutenant Taussig and
20 men remained on the Monitor Flor
ida today while 12-inch shells were
hurled at the ship from the guns Of
the monitor Arkansas, anchored 800
yards off, with the broadside battery
in full play on the target ship.
The plans were suddenly changed
this morning when Quimby and the
men volunteered to remain on the
Florida. They did not take their
place in the turets, where it would
be necessary to manipulate the guns
in case of firing, but remained just
behind the turrets while the projectiles
were flying. They were severely
jolted whenever the projectiles struck
Harry Denbaugh, commander of the
Arkansas, says the first shot fired at
the screen target over the Florida
pierced the center.
Then the firing on the ship began,
the shells hammering the plates.
The glasses failed to show that the
Florida was crippled by the lombard
ment, but experts say the projectiles
are having a terrific affect. No sig
nal of distress has been seen from the
men aboard the Florida, the men
showing no signs of being sorry for
their daredevil experience.
After the bombardment of the hull
the guns were turned against the ex-
perimental mast aft of the Florida's
two turrets, where dummies had been
placed. Dummies were also placed on
the main turret to show the effect of
the heavy shells.
The shots took quick effect on the
mast. The men in the turrets would
have been killed the second shot.

CHECK ARTIST
MAKES KILLING
GETS $40 FOR WORTHLESS
PAPER AT FIRST NATIONAL.
Louis Mettie Tries to Overdo Good
Thing and Is Detected-Attempting
TO Pass Second Bogus Check for
$3.50 at Clothing Store He Comes
to Grief-BOards Train for the East,
But Is Taken OFF at La Grande.

Passing a bogus check for $40 on
the First National bank, Louis Mettie,
a young man of IS, bought a ticket
for Detroit, Mich, last evening, but is
now under arrest at La Grande charg-
ed with a crime that seemingly means
the penitentiary for him.
The circumstances surrounding the
bogus work done by Young Mettie are
so peculiar that he is almost entitled
to rank as the smoothest forger that
ever operated in the city.
Yesterday afternoon the young man
appeared at the First National bank
with a check for $40, drawn in favor
of himself and signed by E. B. Gam
bic. The check was taken by ]. II.
Bambirth, acting teller, and the sigma
ture was so close to that of the real
Mr. Gamble, who has an account in
the bank, that the forgery was not de-
tected at once.
Throws Off Suspicion.
But before the check was taken the
young man was questioned closely and
he made a showing that disarmed the
bank people of any suspicion.
A little later in the afternoon Met
tie passed another check for $3.50 up
on P. Moses OF the Workingmen's
clothing store. The check given him
was signed with the name of F. B.
Chapman. However, before giving
the young man the money on the
check, Mr. Moses took the check to
the bank for verification. 1t was then
discovered that he was a swindler and
the officers were notified of the case.
Leaves for the East.
In the meantime Mettie had pur-
chased a ticket for Detroit and left
on train No. 2 last evening. Messa-
ges were then hastily sent out from
the sheriff's office asking the officers
at La Grande to apprehend Mettie,
and the conductor of No. 2 was also
On the arrival of the train
in La Grande last evening the lad was
arrested without difficulty and he is
now awaiting an officer from this
place. Sheriff Taylor will go over
after him this evening.
