COQUILLE, Ore., Aug. 28. 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.)
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.
