Another Fire In Lancaster.

Another Fire In Lancaster.
Between $4,000 and $4,000
Worth of Property Swept
Away by Flames-- Ware
Houses, Cotton, Etc, De-
stroyed.
A serious fire occurred in Ian.
caster at an early hour Saturday
morning, the alarm being given
about 3 O'Clock. When first dis
covered the flames were issuing
from the Lancaster Mercantile
Company's brick ware house, in
the vicinity OF the Southern Rail
way depot. The building was
constructed with the regulation
fire walls, which saved half the
structure. The part, however,
In which the fire started was en-
tireIy destroyed, together with
it's contents. Another ware house
nearby, owned by the Kershaw
Oil Mill and used BY the Beunett
Grocery Co, was also consum-
ed, likewise the seed house of the
Lancaster Mercantile Company,
shed over the Standard Oil Com
pauy's tank and about 100 bales
of cotton, As bales of which were
In box car on theSouthern's side
track and the remainde: on the
public cotton platform. Several
hundred other bales on the plat
form were saved with great diff
ficulty. The Lancaster Cotton
Oil Company also had about$3O0
worth Of seed burned, the loss
being covered by insurance.
The other losses were approx
imately: Lancaster Mercantile
Company damage to ware house,
"a 600; destruction of merchan-
disc in same, $1,000. Both build.
ing and contents insured.
Kershaw Oil Mill Co., ware
house burned, $500; covered by
insurance. Merchandise DESTROY
ed in building belonging to Ben.
nett Grocery company, $500,
covered by insurance.
Cotton burned, $5 900, covered
by insurance. The cotton be.
longed TO the Lancaster Mercan.
tile Company and the Heath
Jones Company.
Lancaster's volunteer fire COM
pany, just organized, did some
effective work with its new reels
as long as the water supply last
ed. Had the new water-works
system been in operation, as is
now the case, much OF the pro.
perty destroyed would have been
saved.
The origin of the fire is not
known. During its progress
much uneasiness was felt on ac-
count of the Standard Oil COM
pany's tank, terrible explosion
being apprehended. The tank
continued hot for many hours
after the fire was over. 1t was
not until late Saturday afternoon
that the "man hole" was opened,
by Mr. Andrew Gregory, of the
Gresory-Hood company, the
agent here of the Standard,
who found the contents -
1000 gallons-intact. The safe
ty valve apparatus however, had
melted, allo wing the vapor and
gases to escape. All the oil
company's tanks, it is stated, are
equipped with safety valves to
meet just such contingencies.

Columbia Admirer of Teddy
Sends Him Gallon of South
Carolina Liquor for Christ


Columbia special in the News
and Courier; A strict inter-
pretation of the South Carolina
hqour laws came near prevent
ing President Roosevelt from
having drink of fine old South
Carolina whiskey for Christm as .
1t seems likely now, however,
that the President will take his
Christmas toddy from the State
where his mother was married
A personal friend of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, who lives in
Columbia, not long ago secured
in this state a gallon of very fine
old whiskey. which had been
manufactured here several years
ago and aged to please the taste
of the old-time Southern gentle.
man. He decided to send the
gallon of whiskey TO the Presi-
dent as a Christmas gift and pro-
ceeded to ship it by express.
But when it was carried to the
Southern Express Company's
office in Columbia, the officials
hesitated about accepting the
shipment until the ruling OF the
State administration was secured
on the point whether or not the
express company could accept
whiskey in this state for ship
ment at all. A high State of
fetal is said to have told the ex-
press company agent that il could
not legally be accepted. Attor-
ney General Lyon, when asked
his ruling, replied that he was
not the legal adviser of the ex-
press company, and referred the
agent to the company attorney.
The matter has been held up for
several days, but when the com.
pany's attorney was told today
the Attorney Generals state
ment, he told the agent TO 90
ahead and ship the liquor. and
it is probably now on its way TO
the White House.

The independence Party

j. L. Eigholz. the organizer of the
Hearst Independence Party In Nevada,
arrived in Eureka on Tuesdays train.
He came here for the purpose of look.
ing over the political field with a view
Of organizing a branch Of the party in
this section. Whether he succeeded in
doing so the SENTINEL is unable to
state, but owing to the fact thai the
gentleman returned to Palisade on the
train the following morning it il
thought he did nothing along the line
of organization here.
The platform of the new party con
tains a number of excellent reform
planks which would rebound to the
benefit Of the whole people if the prin.
ciples expressed therein were applied
to certain existing evils.
1t is said the Independence Party il
well organized in Tonopah and Goldfeld
and it expects to make a hard fight fol
the legislative ticket in Nevada. 1t il
also asserted that a full State and legis-
lative ticket will be nominated and put
in the field wherever it is deemed there
are sufficient votes to justify. The
principle fight, however, it is said, will
be conferred by the party on the legisla-
tive ticket.

NO new TRIAL FOR BRONCO
Judgment and Order Of Trial Court Il
Affirmed BY the Supreme Court

Judgment and Order of Trial Court I,
Affirmed by the Supreme Court
On Monday, June /, the Nevada Su'
preme Court at Carson handed down q
decision in the case of Martin Bronco,
an Italian, who killed Chris Joriman in
Eureka about two years ago and was
sentenced by Judge Breen to IS years
in the States prison.
The Carson News Of June 2 contains
the following extract explaining briefly
the action taken by the Supreme Court
in the matter.
The defendant in the District Court
made a motion for an arrest Of judg-
ment and asked for q new trial, but it
was denied. The case was then ap-
pealed on the ground that the grand
jury indicting the defendant was not
legally impanelled, basing the challenge
on several grounds. The Supreme
Court says:
There is nothing in the record show
ing upon what the court (district)
acted. and as all presumpions are in
favor of regularity of the proceedings
of trial courts, we are bound to con.
clude that the grounds are not sup
ported by evidence. Judgment and
order of trial court are affirmed" The
opinion was by Judge Sweeney.
