Rome. italy, Dec. 29.-Complete
destruction OF Messina, a large seaport
town of Sicily with a population of
10000, was today confirmed in an
official dispatch to the Italian gov
ernment The dispatch expresses the
fears that Raggio, across the straits
of Messina. is also annihilated, and
that most OF the towns on the straits
are destroyed.
The messages say that fire is
spreading rapidly over Messina and
that there are no means of checking
the flames.
a squad of battleships left here to-
day for Messina. which is the second
city in Sicily and was established by
pirates in the eighth century, B. C.
Railway communication into the
stricken towns has been established,
but the transportation is confined to
bringing in supplies. government
troops and taking out the refugees.
The dispatches indicate that the city
of Messlna is doomed. Even IL wa
ter could be produced there is no or
ganization to fight the fire.
When they arrive at Messina, the
battleships will be divided and will pa
troll the coast OF the devastated die
tricts.

starting in a Chinese restaurant which
destroyed eight buildings and caused
a total damage of $4,000, threatened
the destruction of Silver City, a min

day. The liberal use. of dynamite
with which the buildings were blown
up saved the big War Eagle hotel.

Salem, Ore, Dec. 29.-On the
ground that the. defendant was not
accountable TO the state for fees col
lected unlawfully but to persons alone
from whom its collections were made.
the supreme court today reversed the
case against F. l. Dunbar, former
secretary of state, and prosecuted by
Attorney L. H. MacMahon of this city.
to recover many hundred dollars al
legged to have been exacted unlawful
ly during the Dunbar administration.
The money was collected between
1899 and 1907.
The opinion was written by Justice
Eakin, who ordered the case reversed
and dismissed.
The opinion says: 1T is contended
that the fees received for the fileing of
articles of incorporation, for the issu-
ance of commissions to notaries. the
appointment of commissioners. filing
deeds, miscellaneous commissions and
warrants of arrest were unauthorized
but were collected. 1t is also con-
tended that the fees received as ex-
officia! insurance commissioner were
to compensate him for services rem
dered as such and that there are fees,
and perquisites to compensate him
for the additional service as insurance
commissioner and were not construed
as collections for the benefit of the
state.
THE unauthorized exactions of fees
by an officer cannot operate to give
the state or county title to the money
so received. They are the property
of the person from whom they were
illegally exacted. The state has no
right thereto nor can the defendant
be held accountable"

Over at Latah, Wash, a man was
arrested the other day under circum-
stances that we're most unusual. The
man now under arrest dropped into
the o. r. & N. depot to learn the time
for the arrival of a train.
AS the fellow was leaving the end
of chain was seen dangling just be-
low his trousers leg. 1t had evidently
been fastened up above his shoetop
but dropped down at an inopportune
time.
Seeing that the incident had been
noticed the fellow quickly left the de-
pot. The agent then notified the
town marshal and the latter started
in chase. He found the fellow and
placed him under arrest. Just above
the ankle on each leg was a band of
iron with chain attached, giving
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-12-29
MYSTERIOUS MAN WITH CHAINS ON LEG

mute evidence to the fact that the
fellow was an escaped prisoner.
At first the man refused to tell a
single thing regarding himself, where
he was from or how he had escaped.
At last he told how he succeeded in
cutting the chain in two, but he still
refuses to divulge his identity.
From Latah the prisoner was taken
to Spokane, where he is now in the
custody of the sheriff. Since his ar
rival there every effort has been
made to get some information from
him, but up to this time the sweating
has been in vain.
From the fact that no inquiries have
been made 1t is possible that the fell
low is from many miles away, though
the fact that he had not yet gotten
rid Of his ankle bands would indicate
that he had but recently escaped.
