Fire at Casino.

Yesterday afternoon, about l o'clock
an attempt was made to destroy the
Casino The fire was first discovered
by Henry Harry, colored, who, assist
ed by one of the conductors on the
park street car, extinguished it. The
chemical engine, however, was sum-
moned to the scene to prevent any
further outbreak of the blaze. In
speaking of the fire Chief Anderson
stated that two large holes, one about
six feet long and two feed wide and
the other about two feet long and two
feet wide, had been burned in the
floor of the Cacino stage. Scenery had
been piled up and it is thought oil of
some kind was used to hasten it.
The three fires are all supposed to
have been started by the same individ-
ual and the police have a strong sus-
picion of who that individual is, al
though no arrest has as yet been
made.

Valuable Plant of Mills-Eilsworth
Company and Also Casino Came
Near Being Destroyed
by Fire.
PLANS WERE WELL LAID
Waterman at Bending Works Locked
In and Then Rand Park Fire
Was Started to Detract
From it.

The Mills-Ellworth bending works,
Keokuk's summer amusement place,
and the hay barn of the buffalo herd
in Rand park, were subjects Of an
incendiary Saturday night and early
Sunday morning, whose malicious
work came near causing several of
the most disastrous and costly fires
the city has had in many years. The
hay barn of the buffaloes was de-
stroyed, but the bending works and
Casino were saved by a narrow mar
gin.
The most sensational of the three
attempts was made at the bending
works. Sam Crowell. the night watch
man, was in the main shop about 1880
o'clock Saturday evening, when he
was alarmed by the barking Of his dog
and soon became aware that some
thing Of an unusual nature was trans
piring, or that someone was about the
premises. He soon discovered that
his beliefs were well grounded, when
he found himself locked in by the
main door, and that a wire had been
placed on the outside to keep it from
being opened. Mr.. Crowell departed
through window and reached the
boiler room just in time to see the
blaze burning merrily. A pair of over
ais, dipped in coal oil. had been ignit-
ed and thrown into quantity of shaw
ings. The fire was extinguished by
the firms own device for such emer-
gencies and no damage was done. A
broken window in the boiler room was
evidence of how the incendiary. unless
there was more than one, had Affected
an entrance. Members Of The firm
have directed suspicion a syeral par
ties, one in particular, !; it may be
that the guilty one will oe brought to
justice.
The fire l.. Rand park, which de-
stroyed the barn o. the buffaloes, fol-
lowed but few minutes afterwards.
st is believed that the incendiary made
haste from the bending works to the
park and set fire to the hay, SO that
the attention of the fire department,
might be detracted from the more dam
gerous blaze on the canal Had the
Waterman not beer able to deliver
himself from the main shop in the
time that he did the malignant pur-
pose of the man would have been ac-
complished and the bending works
would probably have been left in
ruins.

MONTANA NEWS NOTES

The first threshing in the Flathead
valley this season showed a yield of
over 20 bushels to the acre of winter
wheat
Edward Downs, wanted for cattle
and sheep "rustling" in Montana, was
taken from Spokane by j. W. Collins
state stock inspector, and returned to
Butte for trial.
A gold bar weighing 1913 10 ounces
and worth $2,75O was Saturday melted
at Helena assay office, being obtained
from the reduction of SO pounds of ore
from the new strike in the Yellow
Jacket mine, across the Jefferson
county line from Helena.
The event of late in mining circles
is the rich strike in the old Bi-Metalle
mine, near Philipsburg, the magnitude
of the find being such as to impress
mining men of that vicinity with the
belief that the famous bonanza ledge
that once made the Bi-Metallic mine the
biggest producer of silver in Montana
again has been found.
The would-be bank robber created a,
scene in court at Dillon Saturday by
drowning the words of the judge with.
loud yells and groans and falling from
the chair in which the sheriff. ofheers'
carried him when he refused to walk
The bandit apparently feigned injuries
and refused to heed the orders of the
sheriff to dress. 1t required the services
of three men to prepare him and then
straighten him out for his picture, the
outlaw closing his eyes and stretching
his mouth wide open.
Orders issued to Game Warden
Ralston of Flathead county by State
Game Warden Aware are to the etreeG
that the county game warden has no
further authority to supervise the game
of the Glacier national park. Since the
interior department has made no regu'-
lations, and the forest service mere
which is in charge of the actual admin
lstration of the park, has no speciai
authority, the wild animals of the PARK
are at the mercy of whoever may WISH
to prey upon them.

CENSUS REPORT DUE
ESTIMATES SHOW 100000
PERSONS In The U. S. =.
Exact Number Will Be Known In octo-
ber-PopulatiOn Figures Compiled at
National Capital-Enumeration Re-
vised Three Times for Possible
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for Padding.

1t will be about the middle of October
before the people of the United States
learn their true number as revealed by
the count of the thirteenth census. 1t
is generally believed that the number
will be about 9O,OOO,OOO and census Of
ficials are known to share this belief.
About 300 of the more than 1900
clerks in the census office are compiling
population figures only, while the others
are working on other statistics. Con
trary to the general opinion, all the
counting of the people is done by hand,
the tabulating machines being used only
IN classification as to race, sex and other
conditions.
Enumeration figures will continue to
be given out day by day for the next
two months or more, while the sociologi
cal and industrial figures will come
later. All enumeration figures are
counted three to four times, and an in
vestigation is ordered if there is any
suggestion of an error.
In two cities evidence of fraud has
been discovered and in one, Great Falls,
Mont, a prosecution has been under,
taken for fraudulent enumeration.
The intention of Director Durand is
to tabulate first the population of the
large cities, after which the figures for
the states will be given out as they are
ascertained, the returns for all counties
in the state being announced at the
same time as the figures for the state.

REVOLUTION PETERED OUT.
Spain Seems to Have Upper Hand With
Don Jaime and Followers.

San Sebastian, Aug. S.-The govern
ment's rigorous measures anent the
formal remuneration of the clerical
bunta of the threatened demonstration
in this city insured comparative tran
guilty Sunday and largely attended
bull fight was the chief incident of the
day.
From daybreak the streets were pa
trolled by cavalry, infantry and gend-
armes, while heavy bodies of troops
were held in readiness at Miramar
palace. The gravest incident occurred
in the evening when groups of clericals
assembled, shouting, death to Spain
long live the pope"
Thousands of indignant people
rushed toward the manifestants and
only the personal intervention of the
governor at the head of a platoon of
police prevented an attack. Nearly $50
arrests were made.
Many amusing scenes were witnessed.
Priests leading bands of peasants took
to their heels when they found the city
in the possession of the troops. The
peasants, all their courage gone, were
disarmed and easily persuaded to return
to their homes.
The local authorities are convinced
that the clerical demonstration marked
a Carlist plot. ClericaIs are extremely
indignant at the government s repress-
i've measures. Senior Urguijo, the chief
organizer of the movement, declared to-
day that the policy of the government
was opposed by the entire Spanish
people.
