A Furious Bottom Fire

1t has happened sgain, and we snp-
pose it will continue to happen SO long
as matches are manufactured aud windy
days tempt mortnls to set out fire. This
time it is Ed. Taubert who, last Satur-
day attempted to burn tire-break
around his hay stacks on the Richland
road across the bottom, He succeeded
so we'll that he now has no hay at all,
and several other parties who had their
winters supply stacked in the same 10.
cality are likewise left, The bottom was
not burned over last season, and as
consequence the old rubbish on the
ground created 80 fierce fame that il
got beyond his control aud swept toward
the bluffs taking everything in its way.
John Gray, informs us that he counted
20 stucks all burning at once, Mr.
Taubert lost 40 tons himself, Abe Strobel
60 tons, and other parties small amounts
Two Of the new bridges on the grade
were also burned. There is no use of oul
giving warning IN reference to the mat.
ter people will do it. We await the re-
turns from the next man whom the spiri,
moves to stick fire into dry grass.

Two Important Points Gained.
Ecdtirld SIM.


The Sun has gained two important
points in this campaign. notNilhstand-
ing the disgraceful bargain of north Oak
ota with Pettigrew. First Pettigrew has
been forced from the field by the oppo-
sition. Whether he committed suicide
by walking into the camp of the enemy
and finally ''laying down his bundle" or
was defeated by the delegates chosen by
o majority of the people of southern
Dakota, makes no difference. The result
is the same. And second, an ex-UNloH
soldier has been nominated. While we
preferred a south Dakota man, who was
unquestioably fairly and honestly enti-
tied to large majority of the delegates
from south Dakota, and who should
have received the nomination, yet we can
consistently support the nominee. AS
enrly rs April 2lst we mentioned among
others, the name OF. Mr.. Raymond, as
among those we would cheerfully sup.
port for congress. This we propose to
do, although we shonld have preferred
to have seen this result brought about
without his candidacy being tainted
with the political methods OF Pettigrew
However, Raymond, personally, VIII be
an acceptable candidate. He is popular
at home and in Washington, and will
command ten times more influence tllau
Pettigrew ever had in his paimiest days
before his piratical political course was
brought to the notice of the pubic
through the press of Dakota generally
and OF the nation. We shall have a man
in congress who will champion The
cause of the people,, who Will guard the
interest of the eN-UN1oN soldier, and who
being better man than Pettigrew, will
employ better methods in everything
pertaining to the welfare of Dakota.

Deadwood, Dak., Sept. 2O.-Facts dis
closed at coroner's inquest upon the
body of Pat German, killed at the Galena
last evening, are to the effect that mining
troubles existed between Davey aud the
deceased a long time. Yesterday morn

clared he would Kill Frank Davey on
sight. Accompanied by William Thatcher,
the bookkeeper at the mine, Davey pro-
ceeded on horseback to the postoiiice,
Where he dsmounted. Thatcher remain-
ing on his horse. As Duvey attempted
to enter the building he was confronted
by Gormau, who, without word, dealt
him stunning blow with the hand on
which was the weighted glove. Davey
arose and was again knocked down, but
managed to draw his pistol, which Cor
man grabbed. By this time Thatcher
had dismounted and shot was heard
and Gorman fell dead. Davey and
Thatcher weie both arrested and dis
armed. Davey's pistol was loaded in but
