SHORT LOCAL ITEMS.

John L. Fakes, who went to
Minnesota some time ago to Sc.
cure a bride, returned to Dur
ham Wednesday. For the pres.
ent they will board before max.
ing arrangements to go to house
keeping.
The question of changing the
White Gross road so that it will
run through West Kurham has
been carried over to the, next
meeting. This was made neces-
sary by the fact that one of COM
missioners was not present and
it was thought best to await his
return.
All the candidates for Con-
gress in this, the Fifth Congress
sional district, have signified
their willingness to have the mat
ter decided by a primary vote of
the people in this county. How
ever, the matter will be decided
by the Democratic Executive
committee later. -
The old St. Helen Hotel has
been reopened by Mr.. E. H.
Murray, who has spent consider
able time and money in fixing
up the building. The name un-
der which the hotel will be run
is Hotel Murray" This host
lery was thrown open to the pub
lie. Wednesday, the rates being
$500 and $3.50 per day. MIR.
Murray is an experienced hotel
man and everyone hopes that he
will be successful in giving Dur
ham a hotel as good as the best,
and he will receive in return a
patronage sufficient to justify
him.

A fire alarm rung in Thursday
morning at Is minutes past 8,
called the companies to the ex-
IRENE north end Of the city, be-
yond the terminal of the car
line, and before the hose wagons
could reach it the residence of
Mr.. Ed Register, owned by Mrs.
]. S. Murray was completely de-
stroyed.
Mr.. Register had a close call.
The flames were all about him
before he knew what was wrong,
and picking a sick wife and a
tiny infant up in a bed, he car
ried them SO a neighbours house
and escaped himself with but a
single pair of trousers. The
entire household lost their goods.
Another residence belonging
to Mrs. Murray and occupied by
MIR. Will Darlington, caught, and
the furniture and other goods
were carried out. There was no
great damage done to the build
ing and that incident to the drag
out was all that the goods suf-
fered. The steady stream lof
water soon had the second blaze
extinguished. The losses could
not be calculated.
There is no way Of finding out
how the fire started. The de-
struction, so far as it went, was
complete.

INSTEAD of having laws that
will assist people in collecting
their bills, it seems that all the
laws favor the fellow that owes
the other man. There are so
many ways for a scoundrel to de-
fraud, so many technicalities
when the case comes into court,
that a man can hardly recover
his own without being subject to
a damage suit.

Could a man look at it that
way, he should get lots of conso-

that stands some show of getting

the most abuse.

SENSATION IN
THE DRUCE CASE
Letters of Vital Importance AL
legged to Have Been Surrep-
titiOuSIy Obtained.

London, Jan. 25.-The bruce case.
which has been so prolific of sensa-
lions, today offered still another.
The solicitor for George Hollamby
bruce, who claimed to be the son of
the Duke of Portland in the latter's
dual personality of Thomas Charles
bruce, and as such to be heir to the
title and estate, today made public the
correspondence he has had with the
public prosecutor, in which he asks
that official to assist him in locating
letters offered him by Miss Mary Pat
terson of New York, but which have
fallen into the hands of a man pur-
porting to be his representative. In a
letter to George Hollamby bruce, Miss
Patterson said she had several letters
written by T. C. bruce to her mother,
in which bruce referred to himself as
the Duke of Portland. George Hollam-
by bruce sent Miss Patterson money
TO come to England, but, according to
her later letters, a man representing
himself as an agent of George Hol-
lamby Druce'sJ solicitor called on her
and got the letters. The solicitor is
anxious now to find the letters, as he
says they are necessary in the defense
of Miss Robinson.
Miss Mary Robinson, said to be an
American, the daughter of a southern
planter, testified during the progress
of the bruce case that she knew bruce
as the Duke of Portland, that Charles
Dickens told her that bruce was the
Duke of Portland, and that bruce him
self afterward confirmed the statement.
Miss Robinson was arrested January
II on a warrant charging her with per-
jury, and she came up for trial today.
Her attorney declared that he had been
unable to get any coherent story, that
he believed her to be of unsOund mind
and that the case was one for medical
experts. The judge, however, decided
there was no evidence to bear out this
contention and he ordered the trial to
proceed.

GREEK BUMPED OFF,"
Unknown Assassins Kill SaIoonkeep-
er at MeGiII. New.

Ely, New. Jan. 25.-George Boze-
measa. a Greek saloOnkeeper at Nc
Gill. was fatally shot last night in that
town. He was alone in the saloon at
the time and was killed by a rifle ball
which entered his left cheek and ranged
upward through the brain, so no state
ment could be secured from him as TO
his assailant before he died. Cheris
LandpandredOo, brotherin-laW of the
murdered man, has been arrested on
suspicion. 1t is thought that later de-
Velopments will prove the existence of
a vendetta, as much bitterness has ex-
listed between the Greek factions since
Tuesday, when arrests of Greeks were
caused by one of their countrymen. All
unemployed Greeks were deported from
McGill the day following the shooting
of Constable Davis by George Vasela
Joulas. and a guard is constantly on
duty to see that they do not return.
Yesterday a few of the deported Greeks
attempted to enter McGill, but fusil-
iade of rife shots, fired over their heads,
kept them at a distance. Constable

to assist the electrical workers by re-

A statement to the citizens of Salt

1t has come to our notice that en-

far that when the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company has been notified

made the following inquiry: which
of our phones do you wish taken. Out?"
thereby eudeavoring to mislead the
public into the belief that the Rocky

trolls both phones. Therefore, we take
this means of notifying organized Ia

still unfair to the electrical workers,
