William Hunter and Wife Are Saved
From Midnight Fire at Banks.
Banks, Ore, April 10.-Fire at IL
o'clock destroyed the Perry Hall
harness shop, the H. w. Pickett feed
mill and the william Davies shoe
shop, entailing a loss of over $4,000.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Hunter, occu-
pying a room in the rear of the shoe
shop, narrowly escaped being burned
to death when the structure caught
fire. and they were taken out
through the flames in the nick of
time.
The harness shop, building and
contents, were valued at about $500,
with insurance on the stock of $1,000;
the feed mill machinery and build
ing were valued at $4,000 with $500
insurance on the building only. The
building used as shoe shop was
the property of William Davies and
valued at about $500 and was not in
sured. The origin of the fire, which
started in the harness shop, is thus
far mystery and is today being in
vestigated. The lack of facilities to
fight a fire here endangered good
part of the town, and it was only
through the efforts of volunteers thai
the flames were finally checked.

stroyed by fire owing to a defective

8. HYDE AND SCHNEIDER
CASE B. Hyde and justin

for land frauds arising out of the

appealed their cases to the supreme
Court of the United States and about
a year ago their appeal was denied.
Pending an application to President
Taft for a pardon, the mandate which
would have sent the two wealthy de-
PENDANTS to prison was held up. In
the last week Of President Tafts
term he denied the pardon.
Indictments were obtained in Cali
fornia against Drew Caminetti and
Maury Diggs for violation of the
white slave act. Caminetti is the
son of United States Commissioner Of
immigration Caminetti. Diggs is the
son of a politically prominent and
wealthy Californian.
McNab's resignation and denuncia-
ton of the Attorney General forced
an order for an immediate trial from
the President. In view of the reason
given for the postponement order, it
is significant that Commissioner Cam
inetti did not find it necessary to at
tend the trial of his son when it was
finally instituted.

NOPOLT-FOllOwing the series Of

of railroad, trolley and steamship
lines controlled by this company. This
was developed shortly before the close
of Understands administration and
left for action by the incoming At
torney General. McReynolds' activity
against this monopoly has consisted
so far in giving 1t extensions of time
in which to make excuses.
