the flames. but the fire had made too
much progress to be controlled and
soon spread to the gasoline tanks,

Police ohicer Henry Williams died
this morning at o'clock from
wounds received at IL O'Clock last
might in a shooting ARRAY with Joseph
Sorrow, q Grangeville blacksmith.
Sorrow Is suffering from wounds
through both knees, which may re-
suit in the amputation of both legs.
Sorrow was arrested last night inn
mediately after the shooting, and a
charge of murder in the first degree
was filed today by the county at
torney.
The evidence now in the hands OF
the county attorney Is to the eff
feet that Sorrow engaged in a row
yesterday afternoon with the day Of
ficer over impounding his stock, and
the later in the afternoon purchased
the revolver with which the shoot
ing was done. At the time the at
tack was made upon the officer, Will
liams was engaged in impounding
other stock found at large.
Sorrow commenced abusing the Of
ficer for ordinances which provided
for impounding stock and later dared
the officer to step off 20 PAGES and
fight the thing out with revolvers
1t is stated that Williams endeavored
to pacify the half-crazy man, but was
unsuccessful, and Sorrow, becoming
further enraged. pulled the pistol
and commenced shooting.

must, II candid, either decline the
nomination, or, in accepting 1t, pro-
pose an amended platform in lieu
of the one adopted by the conven-
tion. No such situation, however,
confronts your candidate, for the
platform upon which l was nomi-
mated not only contains nothing from
which dissent, but it specifically
outlines all the remedial legislation
which we can hope to secure during
the next four years.
Republican Challenge Accepted.
The distinguished statesman who
received the republican nomination
for president said, in his notification
speech: The strength of the re-
publican cause in the campaign at
the hands is the fact that we repre-
sent the policies essential to the re-
form of known abuses, to the con-
tinuance of liberty and true prosper
fly and that we are determined, as
our platform unequivocally declares
to maintain them and carry them
on"
In the name of the democratic
party l accept the challenge and
charge that the republican party is
responsible for all the abuses which
now exist in the federal government.
and that it is the most important to
accomplish reforms which are com
paratively needed. Further more,
can concur in the statement that the
republican platform unequivocally
declares for the reforms more nee
essary; on the contrary, l affirm that
1t openly and VIGOROUSLY disappoints
the hopes and expectations of re-
formers, whether those reformers be
republicans or democrats. So far
did the republican convention fall
short of its duty that the republi-
can candidate felt 1t necessary to
add to his platform in several i'm
portant particulars, thus rebuking
the leaders of the party. AS shall,
in separate speeches, discuss the
leading question at issue, shall
at this time confine myself to the
paramount question. and to the far
reaching purpose of our party, as
that purpose is set forth in the
platform.
Shall the People Rule?
Our platform declares that the
overshadowing issue which manifests
itself in all the questions now under
discussion, is, Shall the People
Ruler" No matter which way we
turn; no matter to what subject we
address ourselves, the same question
cOnfronts us: Shall the people con-
troll their own government, and use
that government for the protection
of their rights and for the promotion
of their welfare? Or shall the rep
resentatives of predatory wealth prey
upon defenseless public, while the
offenders secure immunity from sub
servient officials whom they raise to
power by INSCRIPTIONS methods?
This is the issue raised by the
known abuses" to which Mr.. Taft
refers.

of residents from that suburb to the

A special train carrying a steamer,

appeals we're sent for aid In check
ing the flames, arrived this morning.
but found that work of volunteers
had been partially effective. When
the call for assistance was sent to
Spokane, the town OF Standpoint was
threatened with destruction. The
flames are now raging about one mile
from the town. The Humbird mill
valued at 100000, located at Koo-
tenai, which was at first reported
destroyed, still stands. Flames were
checked when within a quarter OF
a mile Of the big lumber mill, where
q force OF employees were working
to prevent spreading. Much valu-
able timber belonging to the mill
has been destroyed.
Hundreds Fighting Fire.
All able-bodled men of Standpoint
and adjoining towns were called out
to fight the fire, over 500 working
until this morning, before being
satisfied the flames had been driven
beyond possibility OF attacking their
homes and business blocks.
The Panhandle smelter plant, To-
Gated at Ponderay. three miles from
Standpoint, lay in the path OF the
flames, but up to midnight had not
been reached by the wall of fire. The
plant has of late made series of
improvements preparatory TO being
taken over by the Montana Mine

A CLASH is VERY PROBABLE

Willemstad, Curacao. Dec. 12.-The
government of the Netherlands has
no intention of being negligent in the
matter of the blockade of the Venezue
Ian coast, inaugurated by three of its
warships last week.
The battle ship Jacob Van Heem
skerk and the cruiser Gelderland have
been cleared for action. 1t is believed
that they will demonstrate off La

will begin Selling Venezuelan merch

trade between Venezuelan ports.
A clash between the warships and
the coastal forts of Venezuela is liable
to follow and radical action, because

pre- ssed its intention of firing on the
Dutch ships at the first ''unfriendly

RICHMOND GETS
COUNTY'S GAS
Henry County People Would
Abolish All Pumping
Stations.
GAS COMPANIES GO UNDER
MANY COMPETITORS OR RICH
MOND CORPORATION CANNOT
LONG SURVIVE BUT HOLD ON
AWAITING BETTER CONDITIONS

Henry county people are enthusiast
tically advocating the passage of a
bill by the legislature at its coming
session, prohibiting the operation of
natural gas pumping stations. This
bill, it is stated. is aimed directly at
the Richmond Natural Gas company,
which, to the disgust of the New Cas-
tie people, secures its gas supply from
the Henry county field for consump-
ton in this city
1t is quite probable that the local
gas company will do everything in its
power to defeat the passage of such a
bill, for should it be enacted into a
law it would without doubt, force the
local corporation out of business.
The gas pumping station established
recently in the Cadiz field by the Rich
mond Natural Gas company, has fore
ed the Cadiz and Northwestern Gas
and Oil company to the wall. The To-
cal company's pumping station used
nearly all the gas in the large field
greatly to the embarrassment of New
Castle. which depended upon this field
for its supi.y.
Other small companies, it is stated.
are on the verge of being forced to the
wall by the local corporation. but
these small concerns are still holding
on to their extremely small share of
the gas supply in the hope that the
Richmond Natural Gas company will
be driven out of business by the state
legislature.
So small is New Castles share of the
gas supply that it is not depended up
on at all in the winter time. II Is
used for household cooking purposes 10
slight extent in the winter time. In
this city there has been a fairly good
pressure so far this winter.
