th* negro**, stsuring them that there
was no danger of lynching and begging

duet Judge Brown who is holding

Wuaic'OM, Wash., Ang. 12.—During
the entire past week forest fire* have
raged in th* timbered sections of th*
northern part of th* state. In th*
counties of W ha loom sad Skagit, hun
dreds of acres of valuable timber and
many ranches have been laid ia waste.
No lose of life has been reported but
there have been many narrow escapes.
Th* aetual loss of property is larga,
approximating a million dollars In tb*
two counties, but th* anffering of th*
ruined settlers exceeds the money loss.
Th* town of Mount Vernon, Skagit
county, waa visited. Th* shingla mill
of Lodge A Mitchell, and four resi
dences were burned. At Mont Borne,
near by, the dry house, warehouse and
a million and a half of shingloa war*
burned Mount Vernon has been en
veloped In emoke for a week. Sblngl*
mills in this vicinity have been turning
steam on th* flames in place of water.
The fires on Nidslgo island have been
extensive. Five herns and farm houses
were burned. Hamilton, Skagit coun
ty, Prairie, Whatcom, county; Law
rence, Whatcom county, and other
place* all suffered loss by the forest
fires
The fire Is now spreading in the direo-
tion of Laeonier, Skagit county. Every
one is praying for rain, but no sign of
it appears. Reports from Anacortea,
Washington, say, as a result of the pro
tracted dry weather, the moat exten
sive forest fires in year* are prevailing
on Whidby and Camano islands, and
many farms hsva been ruined. Roche
Harbor suffered s slight lots. From
Aberdeen, Wash., comes word that
the fires which have raged for s week
in the counties of Mason, Thurston,
Chehslis. and the southwestern part of
the state are rapidly being gotten under
control.
Winston, N. C., Aug. 14.—Everything
Is quiet here. There is no indication
that Sunday night's riot will b* resum
ed. However, the militia and one hun
dred special policemen are still on duty.
The sltnstlou is such that thsrs Is no
tailing what will happen. A Gatling
gun with four men to man it, arrived
last night Very few negroes are on
the streets. The jury returned s ver
dict of murder in the second degree in
the Tuttle case. Th* negroes wanted
him cleared, therefore many of them
are Incensed, though they are talking
very little. The verdict ia just as a
majority of ths people expected.

Jackson, Miss. Aug. 14.—A telephone
message from Brandon, says that ths
grand jury was empanelled yesterday
has not returned an indictment against
Hon. Dabney Marshall, and hi* three
pelt from Viekaburg, for killing Din-
kina last Friday. The men ar* all in
jail and the grand jnry is working on
the ease. Indictments charging th*
prisoners with murdsr ar* confidently
expected today, after which the most
sensational trial In th* history of tha
state will begin.
Hon. A. J. MeLaurin, democratic
nomlnne* for governor is being harshly
eritieixed for taking a hand in the ease.
He is the leading lawyer for ths de
fense, and the size of his fee is rariout-
ly reported all the way from one to five
thousand dollars. In css* of eonric-
tion ef Marshall, Mr. Mcl-aurin, as gov
ernor, might be called upon to axereise
his pardoning power in which event he
would find himself in a very awkward
predicament. Outside of condition*
that conld arise in ease of Marshall's
conviction and appeal to governor Me
Laurin, for executive clemency, it is
feared the very fact of his appearing
as attorney in such an important and
sensational trial may andangar his
chances of election.
A prominent minister was heard to
say yesterday: "If MeLaurin takes part
in that trial I'll vote th* populist
ticket.”
One deflection does not count for
much but preachers are Influential per
sons around here and sueb a treat
shows which way the wind blows.
Your reporter has heard score* of ad
vert* criticisms on Govsrnor-to-be-Mo-
Laurin, in this connection.
It is reported here that Marshall,
who is nominee for electorlal senator
from Warren and Hinds counties, might
as well resign, as ha will not get a vote
