HURRICANE WRECKS EVERY
HOUSE ON ISLAND.
American Possession of Manila in
Samoan Group Ha* Frightful
Experience.
HONOLULU, Feb. H. Every
house on the island ot Manus, Ameri
can Samoa, was wrecked yesterday by
a terrific hurricane that swept from
one end to the other of it. In spite of 1
the unprecedented damage inflicted
on the houses of the island not a lit**
was lost. This is due chiefly to the
light manner in which the houses arc
built. In some instances the resi
dences fell on the occupants who.
however, manage*! to get out.
TWO YOtTHS HUM) IT
\ BANK IN K \NSAS.J
YATES CENTER. Kansas. Feb. 11.
—Two youths held up a bank in this
town today and got away with five
thousand dollars but were capture.1
two hours later by a posse that start
ed out in pursuit immediately after
the robbery. The robbers are not
more than eighteen or ninteen years
of age judging by their appearances
and are apparently members of well
off families. Their identity has not
yet been established.
BRl'BAKER NOT RESIGNED
FROM DISTRICT OFFICE.
It is stated on the best of authority
that Guy Brubaker has not resigned
from the office of assistant district
attorney contrary to the report that
had been circulated. He has. as re
ported taken over the practice or busi
ness affairs of Judge Bunnell, it is
stated, but he stilt holds his office.
That it is possible for an assistant
district attorney to be permitted to
practice privately is a fact proven by;
the permission given to some assist
ant attorneys in Fairbanks since the
general rule was made a tew years
ago prohibiting them from such pract-i
ice. District Attorney Spence is back
in Valdez, by the way, and Judge Bun
nell has called his first term of court
in Fairbanks.

Messrs Ira Robertson and Tom Gil-!
lies presented a most enjoyable en
tertainment la t night at the Casino.j
Owing to the fierce wind the audience j
was not as large as it would otherw ise
have been but the excellence of the,
entertainment ought to crowd the;
house tonight. Mr. Robertson was as
clever, witty and amusing as all At-,
aska knows him to be and Mr. Gillies
sings well. The picture was splendid.
Tonight there will be a change of
program. “Brown’s Mistake” is a
picture which is sure to cause roars
of merriment. Messrs Robertson and
Gillies will entertain in several ways.]
They are certainly two men who de
serve the biggest house possible.
Mrs. G. S. Whitehead is still con
fined to her rooms but hopes soon to
be all right again. _
