by the fierce wall of flames which
swept down from the Indian reserya-

residences on the outskirts nearest
the fire were destroyed and hun
dred others caught fire. but the blazes
were extinguished without much
damage.
For several hours the Northwest

in the yards to take away as many as

The alarm was sounded when it

OMAHA. Oct. 16.-After a dra-
matte scene on train No. last night,
in which the door of his state room
was burst open by a deputy sheriff,
lionaire editor. was served with pa
pers notifying him that suit had been
brought against him for SANDER and
libel for 5000. 900 by Governor Chas
n Haskell. of Oklahoma. in Douglass
county district court.
The suit was filed late last night.
after which the papers for service
were immediately drawn. II was
known that Mr. Hearst would pass
through Omaha last night and Dep1-
ty Sheriff Stewart was on hand when
the train arrived He knocked on the
door of Mr.. Hearst's stateroom and
elected the information through
the door from the editors wife that
he was not in the room but had gone
to the depot TO send telegram. Not
to be deceived, the deputy demanded
admittance in the name of the law,
saying that unless the door was OPP
ened he would break 1t down.
Then ensued dramatic scene
Mrs Hearst. on the inside screamed
and cried that she was alone and
would admit no one, while the depa-
! ty proceeded to carry out his threat,
using his shoulder as battering ram
He crashed through the door and was
met by Mrs. Hearst, partly disrobed.
apparently on the verge of hysteria,
She rushed screaming down the aisle.
while the deputy started to kick In
the door of the toilet room Then
Mr. Hearst emerged and accepted the
papers.
Mr. Hearst said later that he did
not believe the case would ever come
to trial
when Governor Haskell said not
long ago" said Mr.. Hearst. that his
only reason for not bringing action
against me was his lack of funds, l
offered to donate the necessary
amount from my own personal ac-
count, and this offer still holds good"

despite rain and wind which might

aroused by the speech of Dolliver,

ministering. while our other friends

There Is one thing in this campaign
which has bothered me considerably.
and that is we have no one to tell

voice is still that in former cam
paigns has told us what to discuss
and what TO let alone. This year We
haven't heard It. Bryan makes a
pathetic figure when he exelaims that
he is going TO stand on everything IN

REPUBLICANS
IN THESOUTH
CROWDS TURN oUT To DO THEM
HONOR AND RAILS ARE FILL
ED TO OVERLOOKING At ALL
MEETINGS IN SOUTH.

CALIENTE, Oct. 16.-The Repub-
lican campaign party. composed of
T. l.. Flanagan. Hugh "A. Brown and
Tom Fitch. arrived here last night,
and big and enthusiastic meeting
was held The hall was crowded to
the doors and there was no doubt of
the sentiment of the audience. The
same success that has everywhere at
tended the Republican candidates was
with them here.
At Phoebe the night before and at
Panaca. few miles out OF Phoebe,
the largest ard most enthusiastic
meetings ever knewn were held.
Flanagan impressed his listeners with
his manly. straightforward talks, and
after the meeting the people fiocked
around him and pledged their sup
port. irrespective of party. Judge
Brown made his usual strong, clear
cut addresses and there vas not a
man who heard him but declared that
he would grace the supreme bench of
any state
Brown has made wonderful head
way since the campaign began, and
while at first the opposition was in
clined to look upon his defeat as GER
tain. il is now extremely fearful, as
il realizes that Brown has made a
tremendous impression wherever he
has gone.
Newands has been speaking in
this part of the state. but his meet
ings have been poorly attended and
his reception has been cool He has
vainly tried TO arouse some warmth,
but all his efforts have been unsuc-
cessfel The fact that Flanagan has
followed so closely upon him has
given the people of almost every
place the opportunity for close COM
parison. and everywhere the verdict
has been In Flanagan s favor. The
people realize that Flanagan is a real
Nevadan. that he is a man of rare
ability. and that he would be a credit
to his state in the United States sen
ate. His addresses have appealed to
the people, and man to man, he has
shown himself a far better campaign
er than has his opponent.

candidates have appeared has been
