MONDAY NIGHTS FIRE.
The New Brick Academy Burned. Loss About $l2,OOO. Partially
 Insured.

About 3 o'clock Tuesday morn ing the Brinkley Academy (col.) was totally consumed by fire en- tailing a loss of about SIP, 900.
 The Academy, of which J. F. Clark was principal, was a large and well constructed brick, just nearing completion, erected by the Board of the Consolidated White River District Associa- tion.
 The origin of the fire is un- known, the fire having started in one of the roeips n9t occupied.
 The school was totally destroy ed by the cyclone, March Sth, and the splendid enterprise and pluck shown by the Board and faculty in erecting such splen- did structure was commended by every one. They are among our very best colored citizens and they have the sincerest sympathy of our entire people in their loss. They carried $8,000 insurance, which was divided as follows: S4,OOO in the Monroe County Bank Agency; $2, 1000 with E. T. McCreight's Agency; and $2,000 with D. s. Constantine's Agency.
 The Academy will be rebuilt during the Spring and Summer and completed in time for the next session. In the meantime the school term will be finished and the J. D. Humphrey two story concrete building will be used therefor.

KILLS IMAM THELAW
SET FREE
ITALIAN WHO ESCAPED ELEC-
TRIO CHAIR THROUGH AID OF
ALBERT r. PATRICK AND
HARRY THAW SHOT BY ENEMY

New York, Aug. 12.-Seriously
wounded and praying increasingly for
the death of Rafael Cascone, whom
he shot five times and MORALLY
wounded as the result of Sicilian
vendetta, Amat Santicello, II year
old Sicilian, is imprisoned here today
awaiting the outcome of Cascone's
injuries. To kill Cascone the youth
said he came all the way from Italy.
Six years ago Cascone and his bro
Their, Dominica, shot and killed the
brother and cousin of Amat, in New
York. Following the crime Domini-
co fed to Italy and escaped. Rafael
however, was apprehended and tried
The jury adjudged him guilty of muir
der and he was sentenced to the cleo
trio chair. Cascone was locked in a
cell next to that occupied by Albert
T. Patrick, the famous attorney, and
Patrick, becoming interested in the
case drew up papers of appeal. While
the appeal was pending, Cascone was
moved to compartment next to that
occupied by Harry Thaw in the
Tombs. Thaw likewise interested
himself in behalf of the convicted
man and supplied him with money to
engage lawyers to fight the case
through. Cascone succeeded in hav-
ing the case reversed and he was
given his freedom.
At the time Of the murders Amat
was small boy. Eight weeks ago he
learned that Rafael had been freed
and he Immediately left Sicily for
New York.
Upon arrival here he searched the
East Side until he found Cascone. He
bounded him until last night, when
he sent five bullets into his victims
body.
With Cascone PROSTATE, the youth
drew a stiletto and was preparing to
finish his murderous task when seized
by policeman and handcuffed With
his prisoner the officer approached
the spot where Rafael lay. The
wounded man raised himself to his
knees. drew his own knife and slashed
the boys face and stabbed him sew
eral times in the side before he fell
exhausted from the loss of blood.
The officer did not have time to
interfere.

RAILWAY COMMISSION OF THE
STATE MAKES ORDER REGARD
ING NOTICES OF SPECIAL RATE,
CASE OF YAKIMA MAN.

AS the result of the complaint OF
man in North Yakima who had to
pay two and a half times the actual
value Of the goods as freight, on
some trees and roots purchased at
Puyallup, the railroad commission
has entered an order directing the
railroads to post notices advising
shippers as to released values. The
agent Is to give all information neces-
sary upon request.
The complaint came as result of
the shipper at Puyallup not knowing
that by signing a waiver he could
have greatly reduced the cost of the
shipping charges. He sent the goods
through and the man who received
them had to pay full value when by
simply signing a waiver and releas-
ing the railroad from liability in a
sum greater than SIS hundred
weight he could have cut down the
cost of shipping almost one-third.
AS the result OF the order, the fol-
lowing notice is to be posted for the
guidance of shippers:

HUNTERS--BEWARE
,0F TRESP ASS|NG
STATE CODE IMPOSES PENALTY
UPON HUNTERS CONVICTED OF
TRESPASSING ON LAND WHERE
NOTICES HAVE BEEN POSTED.

The law for the protection of game
puts throttle on hunters who insist
on trespassing upon the land of farm
ers who have signs posted forbidding
hunting on their property. Inasmuch
as the pheasant season opens Septem-
Der /, the code provides a very dras-
tic measure adopted by the 1905 leg
islature as to the rights of farmers
and others to warn indiscriminate
hunters off their property.
The section entitled "To Provide
for the Protection of Game" Is as
follows:
"Trespassing Hunters - Arrest -
Any owner or other legal occupant of
any inclosed premises used for
meadow. pasture, cultivation or any
other use may post at the usual place
or places of entering upon the same
written or printed notices, forbidding
persons to trespass upon said in
-AOsed premises for the purpose of
hunting or pursuing game without
first obtaining the consent of the
owner or legal occupant thereof. Any
person entering said lands for said
purposes while said notices are so
posted shall be deemed guilty OF a
misdemeanor, and for every such Of
Tense shall be punished by a fine of
ten dollars, one-half OF which shall
be paid to the owner or legal occu-
pant of such premises, and the other
half into the school fund In the coun-
ty in which the act Of trespass is
committed. For the carrying out Of
the provisions of this section the own
er or legal occupant OF the premises
may arrest the trespasser upon his
premises, taken in the act, without
a warrant, and take him before the
nearest justice of the peace for trial,
or may have a warrant issued as in
other cases of misdemeanor: any
natural barrier. as river, lake or
other obstruction to the passage of
stock shall, for the purposes Of this
act, constitute an Enclosure"
