The strike has lasted about three

SOLDIERS LOOT RESTAURANT
North Dakota Boys Play bad
Men.

PAsCo, Wash. Aug. 1s.-Be-
cause the charges in the Northern
Pacific and Eagle restaurants were,
in their judgment, too high, three
companies of North Dakota guards
men last evening raided both placed.
carried away everything edible and
were only prevented from cOnflscat-
ing all of the cigars, for military
use," by a young employee with q
loaded revolver.
When the train from the east
bearing the soldiers on their way to
American lake maneuvers reached
Pasco a stop for lunch was an
nounced, and the boys piled out and
into the restaurant at the depot.
There they ran up against a charge
higher than they expected and pro-
ceeded to help themselves to every
thing in sight. The restaurant did
not last long and they adjourned
to the Eagle, where the maneuvers
IA correct imitation of a forage
raid by the army-were continued.
After they had assuaged their APP
petites they started for cigars and
landed one box. Taking them by
the box was too slow, SO they started
off with the entire case, when they
were confronted by Dennis Mac
Neill with drawn gun. The sol
diers had left their shooting irons
on the train and therefore the trum-
pets sounded retreat at double time.
They carried two cases of fruit with
them as spoils.
The proprietors of the two raided
restaurants have wired ahead to the
North Yakima authorities of the oc-
currence and the second chapter in
the episode may occur when the train
reaches that point. The proprietors
want to recover damages, but they
are in a quandary as to whom to
sue. Their question, is this; Are
those men private citizens, are they
in the service of the state of North
Dakota or are they a part of the
United States army, under the Dick
law" Until they can settle this they
will not know who is responsible.

HAINES CASE TO
REVEAL SCANDAL
Army Officers Live In Fear or
Results to Follow De-
vel0pments.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.--As the
time Is drawing near for the hearing
Of Capt. Peter Haines OF the U. q.
army, who shot and killed William
Annis, advertising manager OF the
Recreation magazine, the reallEa-
ton is forcing itself upon those who
were intimately acquainted with the
two men and their families, and the
conditions surrounding them, OF the
awful scandals that will come
when the time arrives for the trial.
Haines alleged that he killed Annis
because of intimacy with his wife
while he was quartered with his
company in the PHILIPPINES. and
claims that she confessed to the
father that Annls was the father OF
her then unborn child. From the
time that the captain became &c
quainted with these facts a separa-
ton occurred between the two and
the wife returned to her parents.
The shock Of having his home
wrecked by Annis, to the Captain.
however, was too great and he was
never able TO Danish It from his mind,
but constantly brOoded over It I'M
I'll he made up his mind to Stay the
traducer of his wife and then fol-
lowed the tragedy OF Saturday night.
When Halnes trial commences he
will no doubt invoke, as others have
done before him, either temporary
insanity in his defense or else the
unwritten law, and in either case II
means the laying bare of family
secrets-of dragging forth the family
skeleton from the closet and scandal
involving many others, and officers
OF the military post al Fort Hamilton
are shiverlng In fear OF the impend-
ing disclosures. The killing OF Annis
by Haines was expected by every
officer OF the army who was ac-
quainted with the circumstances, and
now that It has come, all dread the
inquest to follow and the prediction
is made that the revelations which
will ensue Will cause number OF
transfers from the post A number
of officers stated today that they had
often heard Haines make threats
against the life OF his wife.

LOSS OF 100000
Several Persons Have Narrow
Escapes in Burning
Buildings.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ia
fire broke out in the fashionable
shopping district of this city last
evening and detroyed property to
the value of fully 100000.
The fire had it's origin in the ex-
plosion of a can of gasoline and
in a short time the large building
in which the can was situated, was
enveloped and being eaten up by the
flames which, despite the efficient
work of the fire department, con-
tinued to leap from building to
building uncontrolled until 90 of the
largest buildings in the district we're
destroyed, and many others badly
damaged. There was no loss of life
attendant upon the large cOnfigra-
ton, but many narrow escapes.
Three women had apartments over
one of the stores we're unable to
make their escape before the avenues
of egress were blocked by the fire.
and were carried down by fiTemen
and safely rescued just before the
large building in which they lived,
collapsed into a mass of ruins.

AT
EUREKA, CAL.
Buildings Damaged and People Are
Terror Stricken

EUREKA, Cal, Aug. 1S.-Two
distinct earthquakes we're felt here
at an early hour this morning. When
the quake first came 1t was but a
slight tremor OF the earth, but 1t
gradually developed until 1t rocked
and shook the residences and broke
dishes on the shelves, and hurled
various articles from their position
on the wall to the floor.
The people were much frightened,
and many ran from their homes into
the street.
Besides frightening the people and
causing a general panic, many fleeing
from their homes into the street
without any apparel, but their night
clothes, the earthquake did consid-
cradle damage to property and build
ings. Chimney after chimney was
swept from their positions and in a
number of cases the plaster on the
interior of the buildings was shaken
loose and fell in a crumbling mass.
A number of the business houses had
their plate glass windows cracked
and broken and in several instances
the brick walls of the buildings were
loosed and thrown out of position
The court house sustained severe
damages. Growing this building
stands the state of Minerva carrying
spear, and the right arm Of the
statue holding this spear was twisted
on and the spear went crashing
through the court house roof and
into the court rooms. On the north
side OF the building were also a num-
Der OF statues and these were all
shaken from their positions and
hurled to the ground Besides these
exterior damages. the court house
also suffered much damage In the in
terror portion.
Many who experienced the earth
quake this morning had been through
the San Francisco earthquake and
they state that the shock felt this
morning was equally as severe as
that felt two years ago. which spread
desolati0n and horror and destroyed
the city Of the Golden Gate.

One of the great features was the

filled with cheers and applause that
increased 80 that when the Sherman
residence was reached II became

statesmen and men prominent in the
Industrial affairs OF the nation were
present, and among the former was
