The Sentinel today prints the following story: "There was an exciting time on the city wharf for a few nilnutos yes terday noon when ,Mrs. 'Joseph Rada baugh of Fish Trap, horsewhipped a Holy Roller sorceress who has been In the county for the past few weeks sanctifying the deluded ones, a Holy Roller sorceress who has been working on tho feelings of the 16-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Radabaugh and the girl became almost crazy over tho Idea that she would never be sanctified until she burned her clothes, as good clothes and jewelry are a part of tho tempta tions of the devil. Tho false teach ings preyed on tho girl's mind so much that Wednesday evening she burned her best dresses and watch so that she could become sanctified, but the girl's mother not looking upon the matter in that light started yesterday morning to find her and make her pay for the burning of the clothes and watch. But there was no chariot of fire came down after the Holy Roller and she had to make hot tracks for the boat which she made before Mrs. Radabaugh could reach the landing. Mrs. Radabaugh procured a horse and buggy and came to the city and catching tho woman on tho city wharf, asked for the pay for the clothes and watch and upon being refused proceeded to ply a carriage whip across the sanctified one's shoulders and body besides knocking her down. The Holy Roller left on the noon boat down the river where she goes to get out of the way of an enraged community. While no blame can be attacTTed to Mrs. Rada baugh for using the method she did In preserving her daughter from the influences of fanatics we should con gratulate her for putting an end to Holy Rollerlsm in. this county.

(By Associated Press.) TOKIO, Aug. 28. News of the sinking of the British steamship Dunearn, bound from Nlkolalesk, Asiatic Russia, to Singapore and the loss of nil but two of the crew of fifty-three in a typhoon, hns Just reached here.

(By Associated Press.) ATLANTA, Aug. 28. Tho issuanfl of a call for assistance becaus the loss of $1,500,000 in Augusta alone and a million in other cities in South Carolina and parts of Georgia, and fourteen lives lost in Augusta summarizes tho flood conditions in the south today. There are rumors of others being killed. In South Carolina the loss of life may reach twenty. North Carolina has had probably a dozen drownings. The flood has apparently damaged the foundations of a great many buildings in the lower part of Au gusta. Today, tho Central Grammar School there collapsed aad the walls of the National Biscuit Company have fallen, and tho underpinning of the Port Royal bridge was washed away. A drop in temporature is likely to cause much suffering in tho flooded district. last nigiit. The large rink crowded to the doors. Neither Mayor Simpson or Mayor Straw was in the pink of condition for the Bquared-circle but the go was a lively one. "Jim" Keane acted aB referee and his decision of a draw was not satisfactory to either of the contestants and both forgot the glo ries of the ring and united against tho common enemy, the referee, but the united crusade was ended before much blood had been shed owing to tho necessity of starting what was to be the main event. If the friends of the two mayors have the say next time, they meet in the fistic arena, both will probably be clad in the ar mor of the mailed-knights of years ago. After the bout, a shower of dimes and nickels .was. thrown on the gla diators, both being stripped to the waist and presenting fine physiques. Upon Mayor Straw's suggestion, the crowd's gift, amounting to about 53.70, will bo turned over to charity. Ross Given Decision. In the Ross-Peterson bout, Ross was given the decision In the four teenth round by Referee D. L. Phelan of Myrtle Point on a foul. The bout was to have gone twenty rounds. Peter son did not show up in his usual form, apparently being dazed on en tering the ring and not taking the lead that has won him many admirers on Coos Bay. The bout was-fast and Refcreo Phelan was kept busy break ing clinches. Ross had much tho best of it after the first few rounds, landing frequently and hard. In tho fourteenth round, they clinched. Peterson threw Ross to the floor and struck him hard after he was down. Referee Phelan promptly ended the bout by giving the decision to Ross. The bout was declared to be one of the fastest ever seen on the bay. Louie Carranza of Eureka, Cal., who is said to have a good record, has .challenged the winner. Mystery Surrounds Attack On Chas.
