CIVILIANS ARE DRAGGED FROM
HOMES AND SHOT FOLLOWING
KILLING OF SOLDIERS.
CITY LEvELED BY FIRE
BLASTS PRECEDE CoNFLAGRA-
TON FOLLOWING AMBUSH OF
MILITARY AT PILLoNS CROSS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Dublin, Dec. 13.-The central portion
of the city of Cork has been burned to
the ground and other portions of the
city are ablaZe. The contflagratiOn fol-
lowed an ambush of the military at
PillOns Cross in which four persons
were killed and many wounded. Three
civilians were taken from their houses
and shot dead after the ambush of the
military. Then the fires started.
There were bomb explosions and fir
ing also was heard. The populace is
panic-stricken.
An official report of the cOnflagra-
tion says that the Cork city hail. the
Carnegie library, the Corn market and
eighteen other buildings had been de-
stroyed.
The municipal buildings, the Carne-
which cover a large area, have been
consumed by the flames, which were
so hot at places that passing tram cars
have been set on fire.
Several blocks of buildings in the
heart of the business district of Cork
were destroyed by fire during the
night, constituting the cOstliest de-
structiOn of property since the repris-
ais began in Ireland
A group of public buildings on AL
bert Quay, including the city hall, the
Carnegie library and a portion of the
Corn exchange, also were burned, as
well as private residences in various
parts of the city.
Early estimates place the damage at
between 100000 and 100000 pounds
sterling.
The fires extended to st. Patrick's
street, from Cook street to Maylor
street, and swept entire rows of build
'ings on both sides of Winthrop street,
leading from st. Patrick's street to Old
Georges street.
1t is not improbable that lives have
been lost in the fires already several
persons connected with the destroyed
houses and business premises are re-
ported missing.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon people
were just beginning to venture again
into the streets; the whole city was
then in control Of the military, and it
is understood the officer in command
assured the populace that the military
would remain on duty indefinitely to
prevent further destruction.
The troops are in full fighting order,
pickets with machine guns being post
ed at all vantage points.
Only one large drapery establish
ment is left intact in Cork.
The destroyed city hall in Cork was
only eXcelled in point Of size in Ireland
by Belfasts great civic building.
This was the third time it had been
set on fire, the firemen being driven
out at the point of revolvers.
ON the two previous occasions the
west wing, devoted to the public health
department, was burned. This time
the hall was set alight in many places.
The great hall, seating 5000, and
having "A fine organ, shared the fate of
the municipal premises.
The fact that no serious casualties
were caused by the bombs is explained
by the statement that preliminary
warning was given to all occupants of
to leave prior to the attacks.

CANADA BIC WINNER.
Captures Many Prizes at Lead
ing American Fairs.
Remarkable Showing Made at lnterna.
tonal Live Stock Show at Chi
cago-Carried of Sweepstakes
For All Wheat.

Something that lends emphasis to,
and affords definite proof of, the gen.
erosity of the soil and climate OF
western Canada, is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual farmers
and stock raisers of that country, at
many of the leading state and county
fairs in the United States this season.
Particularly Is this the case with re-
gard to exhibits made at the Inter
national Live Stock Show recently
held at Chicago.
First and foremost to the average
farmer will appeal the fact that
Canada carried off the sweepstakes
for all wheat, and that out Of total
of twenty-five prizes, Canada took
twenty. In oats the Grand Champion
ship was won by farmer living In
the Province Of Alberta. Canada also
was awarded the championship for
Durum wheat, while for Flint Corn out
of total of ten prizes, Canada took
first, second, third sixth and seventh.
Not only in grains did Canada prove
her right to rank as first class agri-
cultural country, but she carried off
many prizes for cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs a partial list Of which fol-
lows:
Cattle, Canada was awarded the
championship for Grade Shorthorns,
also in the College Special class, Can
ada gained first, fourth and sixth
prizes.
Horses. Grand Championship for
Clydesdale stallion, also Grand Cham
ponship for American bred mare, as
well as first for three-year-old Clydes-
dale stallion, first for one-year-old
Clydesdale stallion, and second for
the aged class.
In the Belgian class, Canada OBJ
tanned first and reserve for Champion
ship Belgans, as well as second for
Aged stallion.
Sheep Canada obtained Champion
ship for block, male and female, in ad-
dition to first prize in all group
prizes.
Hogs, in the Yorkshire class Canada
was very prominent, taking the Cham
pionship for pen of Yorkshires, and
Championship for best single barrow.
as we'll as over twenty first, second
and third prizes in other classes Of
Yorkshires.
With regard to the live stock shown
It must be borne in mind that these
have not been fed on corn, on which
the average western farmer places his
reliance. but on the wonderful oats
and barley grown in western Canada,
supplemented by the native grasses,
of which a most artistic display was
made by our neighbors to the north.
Canada has conclusively proved that
not only can she take prizes for the
grain she raises, but can also take
prizes with the animals to which
these grains have been fed. and this
in open competition with the world.

"We get used to it," the doctors
wife said so as not to be disappoint-

was to be a,doctor's wife. How much

Treadwen Company Develop
ing Rich Ore on Kusko-

SEATTLE, Oct. 23-Initial activi-
ties of a large operating company
in mining gold in the interior Of
Alaska is reported by DR.. ]. S. Mar
tin of the U. S. Geological Survey,
who arrived in Seattle from the
Territory, enroute to Washington,
D. c., to make a report on the ac-
tivities in the Kuskokwim district
in South Central Alaska. Although
Dr. Martin would not give the re-
suit of his findings it is well known
that he is impressed with the tre-
mendcus possibilities as the result of
the preliminary work being done by
the Treadwell Company on claims in
this district.
While the Treadwell Company has
been going ahead quietly and rushing
from Seattle in its endeayOT
to hasten the day when it will know
the extent of the ore bodies and
their richness there has been no eff
fort made to let the world know what
is going on in that section, and DR..

that if the development work con
