COLD STORAGE
 DAMAGED BY FIRE

The cold storage and ice plant in Bentonville caught fire Wednesday af ternoon in the boiler room Almost at once the fire was beyond control. The fire was put out before it got to the cold storage room. The boil CTS and engines and compressors are damaged, it is supposed, beyond re- pair. We do not know the exact dam age done but think it sufficient 10 cause the apples to have to be nov ed, unless the machines can be started going in short time.
 The soratge is full of apples about 0,o00 barrels.
 The fire destroyed the boiler and engine rooms but was headed off be fore it got into the cold storage rooms. Mr. King had some insur. anee on the plant butwe do not know how much. We can give no estimate as to the amount of damage done or how long :. will take them to re- build, or whether the apples il stoTas are injured Such an attempt would be mere guessWork. The situation. however, is serious. Coming on top of the low prices for apples this fail makes it doubly hard on the apple growers having fruit stored there. if the plant cannot be started Up soon. Mir. King is q first class apple man and can be depended upon to do the right thing under the circumstances. He has the sympathy of all in this loss.-Bentonville Democrat

ONE YEAR FOR DRAKE.

Clarence Drake, on trial at Fay etteville for the killing of Elwood Cherry on September 20th, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter an sentenced to one year in the peniten- tiary.
 Both Drake and Cherry were drunk at the time of the killing, and when the latter was thrown from his horse, it is claimed that Drake jumped on the helpless body and kicked and struck it. The doctors testified at the trial that death may have re- suited from either the fall from the horse or from the assault.
 We note that Drake's attorneys have taken an appeal to the supreme court We hope he gets new trial and five years the next time. 4 man who would kick dead man in the face is getting off easy with year
 1t is only another argument for greater severity in handling men who are drunk when they commit q crime. Ne have yet to hear Of man being freed or treated with len iency who robbed or who committed forgery while drunk. Why is it that our courts and juries hold human life in less esteem than the almighty dollar?
 We believe it is time our people called for new laws and new methods of handling trunks. IL ought to be classed with carrying concealed weapons. A miserable little fine of dollar or two is not enough when he can secure freedom on the strength of the drunk if he kills a fellow man. It ought to mean fine of not less than $50 and a jail sen tence at work on the roads for second offenses. Either that or a man must be held absolutely accountable for every act committed while under the influence of drugs or quor.-Rogers Democrat.

of drunks out of that back yard. They nearly all smoke, and that is why we think they set the fire. There were a lot of boxes full of papers and straw. and this probably started it.
 One of the most annoying results Of the fire was the temporary crip- bling of the electric light and power supplies for parts of the town. The burning of the big pole which stands right next the back of the Creighton building was responsible for The Re publican's force working by candle light for over an hour.
 It was by keeping numerous streams of water on the blazing building that saved d much more serious fire. Across the alley is the Fleming block, which though of solid construction is not entirely fireproof. The Elite rooming house, which abuts right on the Creighton, was injured by smoke and water, but was not burned, by reason of the quick work ot the fire fighters. Some small cot tages in the same block would have been burned in another five minutes. had the noZzles not been directed when they were.
 The almost total destruction by fire, water and smoke of the contents of the Creighton building last night was fitting end to a day of excite ment over the Mexican situation When the alarm was given and the fire was seen in the sky. immense crowds gathered to watch what has been, perhaps, the meanest small fire that has ever perpexed the Phoenix department.
 When the hosemen first arrived shortly after midnight, the back yard accoutrements of the Creighton build ing were mass of roaring flames Great solid looking chunks of thick yellow smoke poured from the win dows of the offices on the second floor and from the crevice between the masonry of the Creighton building and the Elite rooming house next door on the north.
 The secondStory porch in the real was the ladder by which the flames had crept into the upper rooms, and also the means of transmitting the i fire to the roomng house There was a grand rush of occupants to the
