SANDbERG'S MAN READY NOW TO TESTIFY
AGAINST Him; HAS BOOKS AND RECORDS
WILL GIVE Up.
TESTIMONY He.
DENIED BEFORE.

Pete Sandberg can afford to
quit the saloon and dive business
In Tacoma.
From November IL, 1904, to
October 3, 1906 the dives and
the old Standard saloon netted
him approximately $4G,501.60.
Arthur Kuhl says SO. He has
the books in which the daily ac-
counts of this business was kept.
He has made these figures public.
Kuhl is serving a sentence in the
county Jail on conviction of a
white slave charge as a result OF
the last grand jury investigation.
The grand jury did not return
a bill against Sandherg because
Kuhl refused to tell what he
knew. He refused to exhibit the
books because he relied, he al
leges, on Peter Sandberg TO get
him out. Sandberg failed to res
cue Kuhl.
Keltucky Hotel Case.
Then came the recent fiasco in
which women were found in the
Kentucky building. The witnesses
We're tampered with by Sand
bergs bartender. This man is
now a fugitive from Justice.
Did Peter Sandberg know there
were dissolute women in his ho-
tel?
Did Peter Sandberg know that
his bartender tampered with the
witnesses and gave them more
than his months salary?
Did Sandberg know where this
hush money came from?
Knows About Books.
Sandberg knows Kuhl has the
books which are the only proof
needed to complete the case. AL
legged agents have offered Kuhl
considerable sums for the books.
Kuhl refuses to part with them.
They are safely locked in the safe
in the office of Sheriff Longmire
awaiting TIE call of the court,
grand jury or prosecutor. And
Kuhl will tell how he handled
the restricted district for Peter
Sandberg.
From November 12, 1904, to
January IA, 1905, Kuhl alleges
he collected rentals and transact
ed other business in the restricted
district for Peter Sandberg. The
money was collected and placed
in a safe. Peter Sandberg and
Kuhl were the only two persons
who knew the combination.
After Kuhl left the safe some one
returned daily and removed the
money, leaving behind a slip of
paper bearing the amount and the
initials "P. s."
Was that Peter Sandberg?
From that time on Kuhl de-
posted his collections in the bank
to the account of Peter Sandberg,
he says. His records show these
daily deposits. The. bank figures
will show corresponding amounts.
Once Kuhl failed to make the en-
tries and took his book to the
bank and the bank clerk filled in
the amounts.
To $1,435 Per Day.
These daily collections aver
aged from 5000 to $1,435.4O.
Kuhl says the average daily in
come was $3.50 a night.
February IA, 1906-All mon
eys after this date was taken by
Burke to the Kentucky without
my consent and no receipt wri-
tier. Arthur Kuhl."- That is the
last entry in Kuhl's books. He
quarreled with Sandberg and fn-
ally bought the Standard saloon.
From then on the place never
prospered and Kuhl was finally
forced to close.

persons are believed to have
perished and "a loss variously
estimated at from &15,OOO,-
900 to $50, 100000, was
caused today when the Equit-
able Life Assurance socicty's
II story building and all the
other structures In the block
bounded by Cedar, Nassau,
Pine streets and broadway
were consumed I'm n most
sensational fire.
Bursting into flame at E. 80 this
morning, the Equitable building,
supposed to be fireproof, soon be-
came a raging furnace. The fire
quickly spread. to the other struc-
lures in the block and menaced
the whole of the downtown finan-
cial district. Burning brands were
swept by a high wind through the
canyons of lower Manhattan.
Every piece of ire'fighting ap-
paratus on the island was called
out. Firemen, their faces scorched
by the leaping flames, fought des-
perately in the narrow streets to
stay the progress of the conflagra-
ton.
At the height of the fire bodies
of men were seen falling from the
fifth floor of the building and
striking the street, were covered
with piles of debris before the
firemen could rush to the rescue.
Fire Chief Kenlon this afternoon
ordered rescuers into the still
burning structure to seek for
bodies. The chief was informed
that 18 firemen and employees Of
the building are missing and he
fears that all are dead. Kenlon
said unconfirmed reports indicated
that the death list might reach rs.
PRES. GIBLIN DYING.
During the fiereest part of the
fire President William Giblin of
the Mercantile Safe Deposit COM
pany, with two companions, after
being driven from the building
twice by the flames. returned to
rescue priceless papers in his pri-
vate desk. With their. exit cut off
by the flames the three men re-
treated to an empty safety deposit
vault and called to the firemen for
assistance.
SHEATHED In ICE.
Some of the firemen played
heavy streams of water on the
vaults, submerging Giblin and his
two companions and covering them
with sheets of ice as the water
froZe on them.
The floor finally fell, however,
and Giblin and his companion went
down with it. Fireman dragged

A Business College For Harrison
Our commercial Club Scores Another
Point for ihe TOwn

On Monday last ", X, Gregg of the
Pawhauska and Tecumsch Business
Colleges met with our Commercial
Club, and after convincing them of
the character and methods of a Col
lcge which he proposes to establish
here, secured their cooperation. A
committee has been out during the
week securing such enrolment as
will guarantee the success of the in
stitution, and it is practically settled
that within the next ninety days we
will have in Harrison a Commercial
School first class in all it's details.
1t is unnecessary 20 enlarge upon
the advantages of such an institu-
tion, Aside from the benefits to be
derived by the young people of the
section in remaining at home while
securing a business education, much
prestige will be given the town as
the location of the only Business
College Of Central North Arkansas.
During the coming week a canvass
of the country and towns of the sec
tion will be pushed by the Club, and
it is hoped everybody will fall in line
and start the College under the best
possible conditions

Bill Tarr Killed.
WeIl.Known Engineer Of the N. & N, A.
Meets Instant Death,

On Monday Morning last Vim,
Tarr, Inspector Of locomotives on
our road intended to leave Eureka
Springs on an extra to the tunnel,
but missed the train, and finding
William McCullam at the station
ready to go out on the line on the
motor car, asked to be taken aboard,
so that he might join the extra at
the tunnel, where some eXcavating
is in progress, Mr.. Tarr was motor
ing at a speed of twenty miles an
hour while the extra or work train
was running only half so fast, They
met on the curve Just thirteen rails
north of the switch, The decided
curve kept the motorists from seeing
the advancing train until the two
cars met Both MIR, Tarr and Mr..
McCulIam Jumped from the car, but
it seems that Mr., Tarr lost his foot
ing, or failed to clear the track and
his body was cut to pieces, death be-
ing instantancou
The motor car usually runs ON
regular schedule time, but Mr., Nc
Cullam as claim agent, used the car
as needed and at such times to suit
his convenience. "Tis perhaps the
most hazardous run of railroad life,
especially on a road where there are
so many curves, The car is light,
and ordinarily one travelling that
way is watching for danger and can
pick up the car and leave the track
in safety,

experience, His hip is somewhat

Randolph Churchill Lectures.
A Broad Discussion OF the Worldwide
Progress OF Free Government.

A splendid audience at the Opera
House Tuesday evening listened to
the lecture of Randolph Churchill,
journalist, author and lecturer,
Notwithstanding his English conncc-
tons Mr.. Churchill soon convinced
his hearers that heis an American Of
the most pronounced type, and that
he is proud Off it.
In discussing the Progress Of
Free Government throughout the
World there was necessarily much
of national and international pol
itics in his talk, but it was Of the
sort that interests the free American
citizen from start to finish,
His extensive travels and intimate
knowledge of affairs in European
countries made his remarks ON
evoluting conditions in Switzerland,
France, Portugal Turkey, China
and other countries which were
enjoying republican forms Of govern
ment or moving to that end espec-
Tally interesting,
His eulogcs of American condl-
tions and people were reassurlng,
and his whole lecture a wholesome
lesson in the advancement OF ciyIIl-
cation and humanity throughout
the world, -
The High School Band, for whose
Ihenc6t the lecture was given, was
out in full force and furnished de.
ighttul music.
Mr., Churchill has remained over
several days to acquaint himself
with our section and it's people and
has been entertained by many of the
leading families Of the city, He has
consented to make tomorrow a
busy day, and will fill the pulpit at
the Presbyterian Church at |
