DAKOTA TOWN is
BURNED OFF MAP.
business Section of LeBeau Was
Absolutely Destroyed by
Fire.

Practically bletted from the map
within a few hours by flames driven
by a heavy wind, there are now only
smoking embers where Wednesday
the business district Of LeBeau was
the Gene Of activity in mercantile
trade, says a dispatch.
The first estimate of $4,000
damage will be increased to fully
100000 when all the losses are
completed.
When the fire was discovered and
the alarm given, such Roadway had
been made by the flames that there
was not adequte resistance to be
made to the progress of destruction
and the people of the town were
forced to witness the unavailing eff
fort of the local fire department sup
plemented by every man who could
bear a hand. All We're driven back
by the flames, which swept from the
northwest, carrying cinders for a
half mile and threatening not only
dwellings but their occupants. Final
ly the effort was largely withdrawn
from the doomed business section
and scattered about the residence
portion, which was saved in part.
The business buildings being nearly
all frame structures, there was not
natural check to the progress of the
fire. Never in the history of the
state has a business community been
SO completely destroyed as in this
calamity. Almost without exception
the men who have suffered loss will
rebuild, and temporary structures
will be secured or builded while the
permanent business blocks are being
restored. 7.
Not only is this loss disastrous to
the business interests represented,
but 1T also seriously affects the 'out-
fitting'' trade for settlers crossing
the river at this point and founding
their homes on the Cheyenne reser-
walton.
LeBeau is one of the old towns in
South Dakota, having been estab-
lished first as a trading post on the
upper Missouri. being located about
seventy miles north of Pierre by air
line 1t was without railroad facil-
tiles until about four years ago,
when the Minneapolis & St. Louis
extended from Watertown, since
which time it has made rapid growth
and had become a hustling terminal
and river point. . Il

THE CHAsTENED JACK LONDON,

Denver Republican: Comrade
Jack London, once the most rip-roar-
ing n~ear-anarchist of the whole
bunch of socialistic writer's, seems
to be undergoing a transformation
process that will be nothing short of
disgusting to those long-haired
brethren who had picked Jack as the
first t%orchbearer in the revolution
prophesied in "The Iron Heel"
In his latest book, Burning Day
light" Jack seems to b a follower
Of the comparatively meek and mild
Bill Allen White, author of IA Ger
tain Rich Man" In Mr.. Whites
book, the scandalously wealthy cen
trail character gets a change of heart
and burns all his valuable stock in
questionable but paying enterprises.
In Mr.. London's latest, his hero, at
the behest of the One Particular Cur
rul, throws away the millions he has
made n the political power he has
gained. Then to cap the climax,
when he finds gold on a claim he has
located for a homestead, he destroys
the traces of his discovery, and goes
right On nnding happiness in self-in-
f1icted poverty.
The Jack London or nve years ago
would have been no such mollycod-
die. He would have had his hero
utilizing his millions to buy rifles. and
ammunition to shoot into coveys oil
plutocrats. He would have bought
red flags and bombs for all the COM
rades who desired such playthings,
and then he would have devoted his
closing chapters to a rain of blood
and an avalanche of plutocratic
corpses that would have made the
most callous book reviewer hold his
breath.
Apparently, however, Jack London
has not been his same old g ever

KILLED BY AN

auto No. 427, driven by Edward Quincy
The machine was coming Waikiki, and
just at the top of the little grade that
begins at the gate to the school crashed
into the victim, hurting hum with ter
rible force to the ground.
The accident occurred at half-past
four in the afternoon. De Mello was
struck on the hip and he landed on his
face, which was badly cut. His body
was horribly crushed by the impact of
the blow, the watch in the pocket on
the opposite side from that on which
he was struck being smashed to bits.
The police patrol rushed to the spot
with all speed and hastily conveyed the
man to the Queens Hospital, where the
doctors pronounced him dead. 1t is
hardly possible that he could have lived
minute after receiving his injuries.
From the hospital the body was taken
to the police station and finally to the
morgue, where it IS now awaiting the
inquiries of a 2oroner's jury.

applied for separate trials and tried
desperately to secure them, but their
applications We're denied.

the trial of those indicted on evidence
secured through the prosecution of a
number of the weighers at the customs
wharf. it being found out that the
scales We're being manipulated to show
less sugar being entered than actually
passed through the weighers' hands.
This had been going on for many
months and the loss to the country
through the uncollected duty was large.
\ part Of this loss has been made up
by the refinery.
-Four counts charge false entries of
sugar products and two counts allege
conspiracy to defraud the government
in weighing sugar imports.

Sugar Refining Company of New Jersey
and secretary and treasurer of the
American Sugar Refining Company OF
