LEWIS LUMBER
COMPANY FAILS
Owes $35O,OOO and Is in the Hands
of Receiver

Spokane Immediately after dinner.
A meeting OF the various creditors OF
the companies, II Is understood. was
to have been held today. but for some
reason Il was postponed. Il Is un-
derstood that a meeting will be held
at some time tomorrow. Mr.. Morril
is the general counselor for the com
panles. and II Is said that a number
of the creditors are dissatisfied with
him In the position OF receiver and
will object to him holding II. There
are many others, however. it IL
learned, who are entirely satisfied
with Mr.. Morril acting as receiver
and will interpose no objection
against him. Those who are dissat-
isfted are so because they feel that
the retained attorney OF the company
should not occupy position like
this, but that Il should be filled by
some one who had not been Identified
with the interests OF the company,
but the general good and welfare Of
all concerned should alone be- con
sidered, The view has been ax-
pressed that with MorFil an receiver
the management OF the company will
naturally fall into the hands OF Lew
Is, and they feel that this would be
placing their interests and property
entirely in the hands or interested
parties. and will make II a basis OF
objection and may ask for the APP
pointment OF another receiver.

BURN LEWISTON CHURCH
Police Believe Oriental Enemies Of
kwOng Lung Are Guilty.

LEWISTON. Idaho. April Ia
After two attempts ineendiaries sue
ceeded in burning down a shack on
Seventh, street occupied by the
Kwong Lung company, a Chinese
laundry, but they also succeeded in
burning the Baptist church and car
penter shop, and only the hard work
of the fire department checked the
spread of the flames to other build
ings. The fire was started at 3
o'clock last night, but the blaze was
snuffed out, and investigation showed
that the fire had been set.
At O'Clock this morning the fire
was again kindled in the rear of the
shack. and this time Il secured such
start that the laundry was almost
in ruins before a stream of water
could be turned on the burning build
ing The Baptist church, a small
frame structure, furnished food for
the flames, and the fire department
was powerless to stop the fire before
the editice was destroyed. The police
believe that the fire was kindled by
Chinese enemies of Kwong Lung. a
wealthy laundryman. but no clue has
been found yet. Marsh Wright. who
owns the laundry, is of the opinion
that the fire was set by his enemies,
although he refused to give any hint
to the police which might aid them
In catching the incendiarIes.

SWELL IS ARRESTED.
Stole Money and Became Sporty
Comes 70 Grief.

Comes 70 Grief.
SPOKANE, Wash, April 1S.-The
fact that Bert Robinson, laborer,
20 years old. felt like a millionaire
after stealing s45 which had been in
advertently left in the bathroom of
the ondawa inn and began spending
the ill-gotten coin with a lavish hand
led to his speedy detection yesterday
morning by Detective Miles on a
charge OF grand larceny.
A report reached the station about
Z o'clock yesterday morning that ].
H. Lowery, who rooms at the inn,
had left $45 concealed in a belt in
the bathroom of the place the night
before. Detectives Miles and McDer-
mott were assigned to the case. The
sleuths were informed by the clerk at
the hosiery that Robinson had been
about the place Saturday night shah
billy attired and that later he had
blossomed forth in a new spring suit
bought boxes of candy for two wait
resses and left $25 on deposit at the
office.
When taken to the police station
within a few hours after the report
was received Robinson denied having
stolen the money. but later confessed
the police say. What led to his un-
doing was his desire to pose as
swell dresser. He told the detectives
that he had not worked much for the
last three months and that at no
time had he been flush with money
So when he appropriated the wad he
invested part of 1t in a new suit, a
new pair OF shoes and several suits of
new underwear. Being of an unset
fish disposition, he played the gallant
by purchasing two boxes of choice
confectionery for two Mattresses EN-
ployed at the inn. Shortly after
Lowery left the bathroom Saturday
night Robinson went there to perform
his additions and was seen entering
after Lowery by an employee This
was the clue which led to his arrest.

dents Of Big Timber, the town which
was almost destroyed by fire recently,
have been notified by the Northern
Pacific Railroad company that they
will be paid so cents on the dollar
to cover their losses. This action Is
taken by the railroad company from
the fact that the disastrous fire,
which left hundreds of people home
less, was started by a spark from a
Northern Pacific locomotive The de-
cision of the Northern Pacific to pay
one-half of the FIRE loss is not the
outgrowth of civil suits. but is a vol
untary act on the part OF the railroad
