Retief parties sent word that the towns of Quereria, Molase and Tarasco had been complete out. The whole region Spesia was sald to have seriously damaged. Boores of persons were killed and hundreds injured, according to scat tered reports today. The property @amage was said to be enormous.

This one seemed to be presented with a new treatment. Thus offered on the stage, It would have been hiased off, and one of Belasco's thrilling melo- dramas demanded instead. “I wonder,” said Sam, with a pro- foundly thoughtful expression, “if the cook Naw any cold beans left over!” He called Wash, the Negro cook, and finding that he had some, ordered him to heat up the pot and make some strong coffee, Then we went Into Sam's private room, where he slept, and kept his armoury, dogs, and the saddles of hia favorite mounta, He toqk three or four six hooters out of a bookcase and be Tatum only rock of aa!
