missed her little boy, aged years, and after
protracted search he was found in the manager
Of COW stable with his throat cut and rip from
the breast bone clear down, which let the bowels
out. A rope was hanging from beam, all
bloody, with the moose partially cut, which in
dicated that the little fellow was hung up and
then cut open in the manner described. The
horrible deed was committed by George Bum

horses on the place.

The trip of President Hayes west
ward from Chicago was marked by hearty
greetings at all the points along the line. The
party arrived at Neosho Falls, Kansas, on the
25th of September. About $4,000 people had
gathered there to attend the District fair and
to welcome the President and Gen. Sherman,
whose coming had been very extensively
advertised. Hon. John r. Goodin delivered an
address of welcome Gov. st. John followed

A dispatch from Carroll, Carroll
county, Iowa, reports disastrous confagration
in that town, resulting in the loss of from
$4,000 to 100000. The greater portion OF
the business center of the town is wiped out.
The fourishing mining town of Dead
wood, in the Black Hills of Dakota Territory,
has been almost totally swept out of existence
by fire, and nearly 3,000people rendered home
less thereby. The fire broke out in a
bakery at Sherman street at 80
o'clock in the morning of Sept. &C.
and, following that thoroughfare, swept every
thing before it on Lee, Main, Gold, Patton and
William streets, and several residences on Cen
tennial avenue. Famed by a light breeze, and
nothing to contend with excepta very inefficient
fire department, everything was at the mercy OF
the flames. Less than half score of pro-
nounced ire-proof warehouses withstood
the severe test. The buildings being
mostly of wood and poorly constructed
they burned like SO much chaff The
fire spread with such wonderful rapidity tina
any attempt at saving anything would have
been useless. All along it's course terrific ex-
plosions of gunpowder, petroleum, liquor ETC.,
were of frequent occurrence. Buildings were
blown into atoms. The hook-and- ladder ap-
paratus and hose carriage were the first things
to burn, leaving nothing but few
feet of worthless hose with which
to battle against the devouring element.
The widest excitement prevailed on account
of the fearful force of tile flames, and the peo-
pie thought of but little beside saving their
own lives, hundreds escaping with only their
night-clothes Every team within miles of the
city was called into service to help save what
could be got out About 1875 buildings, beside
fifty or sixty dwelling houses were destroyed.
The loss is variously estimated atfrom 81 800,
600 to $2,00O,0OO
