The Herald, 1906-11-30, Page 6'WILD NIGHT IN MING CA P. The Canadian Hotel at Niagara, G.C., Dynamited. A Young Woman and an Italiau Killed. Murderous Fight Between French and Italian Factions. Victoria, B. C., Nov. 26.—The Bound - wry dispute, which, because of its proximity to some of the more lawless mining camps to the south of the 1United States boundary, has been the 1 scene of several tragedies lately, not- ably the Carmi double murder, was the scene of another outbreak last night, in 1 which two people lost their lives. Nino I were injured and a hotel demolished lend burned. The scene of the trouble . was at Niagara, a small mining camp, about seven miles up the north fork of Kettle Hirer, from the city of Grand Forks, and the origin of it seems to ` have lain in a quarrel between two fee- , -Hone, one French and the other Italian, who were quarrelling during the day. During the altercation some parties FLEET TO CHECK TROUBLE. Spain Orders Battleship to the Moorish Coast. Madrid. Spain, Nov. 26.—As a cense- quence of the receipt by the Cabinet of despatches setting forth that the situation of Europeans in Morocco, is growing worse, Minister of Marine Alvarado decided, after consultation with the Premier and his colleagues, to order the battleship Pelayo to the Moroccan coast. T]ie Pelayo will pro- ceed thither to -night or to -morrow for Tangier, where Cho will join the French warships. She will take 500 marines. It is reported here, though the ru- mor lacks confirmation, that the Brit- ish squadron now on the coast of Spain also has been ordered to Mor- occo. In. official circles the opinion is held that the Moroccan situation is immin- ently perilous. The present precautions are intended to forestall the serious de- velopments rendered possible by the giv- ing of increased powers to the bandit Raieuli. The attitude of all the powers con- cerned is declared to be perfectly har- monious, and the first act of hostility on the part of the Moors will be the signal for the disembarkation of land- ing parties from all the foreign war- ships. e.♦ TO CLOSE THE BALTIC. were heard to say they would blow up the Canadian hotel, in. which the row took place, and this was actually what occurred about midnight.

The only other death was that of an 'Italian, whose name is unobtainable. Following the explosion which demol- ished one side of the hotel, a fire broke t out, and the major part of the hotel 'Was burned to the ground. The free fight of the Italians and French in the afternoon was prolonged fnto the night preceding the explosion, and a veritable night of terror seems to have been the result. Throughout the night indiscriminate rifle -shooting among drunken railway laborers was going on, and several travellers nar- rowly escaped being struck by flying bullets. Dr. Dickson of Grand Forks went up to Niagara at daybreak and brought ! those who had the worst injuries to !the hospital. No arrests have yet been made by the police officials. ONTARIO BANK.

Gillette, were shown in court, where Gillette is on trial charged with responsibility for her death. From the girl's trunk, which was re- covered at Fulton Chain, were taken several garments that composed her wedding trousseau. They were iden- tified as garments prepared for her at hoarse before her clandestine departure to the Adirondack Mountains. For the first time since his trial be- gan, Oilltte appeared deeply affected to -day. Forty letters which had pass- ed between him and Orace Brown were read by the district attorney, and as he heard the familiar words the prisoner's eyes filled with tears. Many other persons in the crowded court room wept as the letters were read. The parents and sisters of the dead girl were present. In a letter written by Grace last July she pleaded with Gillette to go to South Otselie and take her away. She said in the letter that she feared Gillette was planning to desert her, and she threatened to go to Courtland and expose him if he did not keep his promise to make her his wife. Reference to "another girl" was made in another letter and she pleaded with him to be true to her. She wrote that she probably would be dead be- fore long and that he then would be rid of her. Harriet Benedict., of Courtland, denied on the stand to -day that she was Ches- ter Gillette's sweotheart. She was calm and eompsed as the lawyers probed her affair, with Gillette, and in this brief statement cleared up a rumor that had been of great annoyance 1 They May be the Source of the Dreaded to her.

Minister Thomson said the examine - tion had shown that the interior 1 ,.lk- head of one of the water ballast com- partments had given way under the pressure of the intake of water, which it was too weak to withstand. The unusual pressure was caused by tl e fact that the intake valve was ineom- pie€;ely closed, owing to the prea: t e of a pebble, which must have been there for a considerable time. —IjEATH F1-1Vr P"ORCLJPINE-QUIL` .•— Blood Poison Sets in After Pimple le Scratched With Infected Finger.

Tin- ney is a young man who caused a good deal of amusement in court by protesting in a sobbing voice that the revolver was harmless and that he would not shoot anyway. "But," said the Magistrate, "you wanted to make the other man believe that you would shoot, and you could not have blamed him had he shot you in self-defence." "I wouldn't have said a word if he had," sobbed Tinney. He was allowed to go, promising to leave for Hamilton at once.

He ex- pressed himself as opposed to the "con- tributory scheme," because it involved inquistorial machinery. Old age pensions, the Premier con- tinued, far from sapping independence and undermining thrift, would do just the opposite. .Any scheme ought to be universal, and must he put into effect by the State, which alone has the means of carrying it out. Speaking to the same deputation, Chancellor of the Exchequer Asquith said there is nothing nearer his heart than to be able to submit a financial plan for such pensions. He favored one altogether disassociated from the poor law, and. assured the deputation that the Government regarded this question as one of extreme urgency. WHEN IS A KITTEN A CAT? started to the telephone offic waylaid by a group of five or six•men, one of whom he recognized as Hannsell.
