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 3,0O0people rendered home
less thereby. The fire broke out in a
bakery at Sherman street at 2:2
O'Clock in the morning of Sept. 20,
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-

they burned like 80 much chaff. The
fire spread with such wonderful rapidity tina
any attempt at saving anything would have
been useless All along its course terrific ex-
plosions of gunpowder, petroleum, liquor, etc
were of frequent occurrence. Buildings were
blown into atoms. The hook-and-ladder APP
paratus and ose-carriage were the first things
to burn, leaving nothing but a few
feet of worthless hose with which
to battle against the devouring element

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 125 buildings, beside
fifty or sixty dwelling-houses were destroyed.
The loss is variously estimated at from 81 ,500,-
GOO to s2,0O0,0OO.
