THE DRIVE WELLS.

Meeting of the Ramsey County Association
on the Same Old Theme.
A meeting of the Ramsey county anti
drivewell association was held at the Cham
Der of Commerce last evening, President
II. D. Gates in the chair; large number of
members being in attendance.
The object of the meeting was explained
to be the collection of funds with which to
defray the expenses of conducting the suits
in court. Mr.. w. G. Wilson briefly outlined
the history of the drivewell association for
the benefit of the new members.
The speaker called attention to the appro-
priation of 81 500 given at the session of the
Legislature for the purpose of carving
forward the suits. history of the State
society was given, and the distinction drawn
between it and the Ramsey county associa-
ton, which was described as intended to
raise q fund in order to more directly pro-
tect the interests of parties concerned in
this county. s--s ~. i. -
The test case would possibly be tried next
September, and over three hundred and
fifty names of those who had suffered from
the outrage were appended to the anewer
1t was the intention of the other side to
bulldoze the people by deferring the cases as
long as possible. The money collected at
present was partially intended to protect tho
interests of the people of Ramsey county
in the impending suits, and the speaker
thought that the tcst case to be combatted
by the State association would not come to
trial for nearly year. sg- -.,
It was moved and carried that an execu-
tive committee of five members be appoint
ed by the chair during the week to employ
counsel and protect the interests of the asso-
| citation. On motion, Mr.. n. S. Oeder, WAS
elected to the position of treasurer of the
society. The question of framing consti-
tuition and bylaws was taken up for consid-
Grafton, and Messrs. Gates and Costello were
appointed as committee on such, with In
structions to report at the next meeting.
Mr.. Wilson spoke of tho propriety of
| having standing advertisement published
in the GLOBE. for the purpose of keeping
the subject before the people of tho State
and inviting membership from outside
districts. s
1t was moved and carried that the mem
bership fec be raised to five dollars in cases
where parties join the association after the
commencement of suits.
On motion Mr.. D. D. Merrill was elected
to the position of vice president of the asso-
citation. Adjourded for one week.

Snecial TELEGRAM to the Globe,

DEApwooD, Sept. 26.-Deadwood was startled
about "a. M. by the cry of fire. Flames were
discovered in bakery on Sherman street near
the old postoffice and before the fire company
could arrive were extending in every direction.
brisk breeze set in and the
RED-rONaDED DEMON
reached out for Chinatown. The widest ex.
element prevailed. Business men realized
their perilous position, but depended on thei,
supposed fire proof cellars, built at the rear OF
their stores, to protect their most valuable
goods. These were farce before the fiery ele-
meut, and crumbled to earth like sand. The
water works gave out and the tiremen were left
nnarmed. The removal of goods was CON-
mehced, but the precipituus hills on every side
barred this escape. Tho few brick stores sue
cumbed almost rs easily rs the wooden shells.
Teams blockaded the streets and the
PANIC STRICKEN PEOPLE
rushed to and fro, wild with excitement. The
saving Of goods was soon abandoned and each
man for his own life became the maxim. In
less than an hour the flames had extended over
twenty acres. All the hotels had been burned
aud only four business houses were left The
court house, schoUls, churches and banks were
all burned. The only tire-prOofs left are those
of the Northwestern Stage and Transportation
company and of Holstein, Chem, Hildebrand,
Evana, Kelly and Harding, grocers.
fHE CRY WAS SITUATED
In d narrow gulch, Quarter to half mile
wide, and all the business houses and most of
the d#ellingswere on one and two streets; packed
closely together. But few dwellings, remain.
Many are sleeping tonight the hills over
looking tho destroyed city, and many have gone
70 Fort Meade, where Gen. Sturgis Is receiving
the refugees. The loss will not be loss than
$3,U0,OOO, as most of them had received their
winter stocks. About fifty firms have ordered
new stocks by telegraph to-day, and already
where the fire is out the debris is being cleared
away Not less than 5000 people are left with.
out shelter and food. The supply of the sur.
rounding cities will soon be exhausted and
great distress must follow. The fire was
stopped at Chinatown by the blowing up of
buildings.

the streets were filled with an excited crowd.
At this hour Hazael, Merritt, Guyon, Weston
and several others were on the track. The
three first named are watching one another,
and Rowell is struggling hard against his Of
Fiction to keep q lead of nine ten miles over
Merritt. Rowell sticks to Merritts heels and
is evidently trying to tire him out. When
Merritt spreads himself for run Rowell trots
along behind and regulates his pace by that of
Merritt. Sporting men say that it is enough
to break the heart of any man who is trying to
pull downs lead to find his opponent just be-
hind at all times. Weston is going at good
pace. Heis both cheered and Missed, and appears
to enjoy both equally we'll. Hart was pre-
sented with q magnificent full rugged floral
ship, and Daniel Weary, who made the pre-
sentation, carried the emblem around with
Black Dan, as the colored boy is called. It took
O'Leary's smartest strides to keep side by side
with Hart, and the applause was simply deaf
ening. Cheers for O'Leary and Hart were
given every few steps. The whole interest
seems to have settled down on Rowell, Merritt
and Hazael Weston finished his 4OOth mile
at 1906, and Rowell his 450th at 1907, and a.
