lire in the Indiana University.

BLOOldTNGTON, ND July II.
At about half past ten tonight the new
department of the Indiana University was
discovered by the janitor to be on fire, and
at once the alarm was given by Mr.. Spier.
The buildings being so far from the center
of town it was fully half an hour before
thorough alarm was given and the cOmpa-
ny on duty. When they came to put out
hose it was discovered tl.at it was not
within fifty feet of being long enough. In
the meantime the flames were raging, and
the laboratory was in flames and the sec
ond story on fire. The engine got to work
and the men worked nobly. Some
explosives in the laboratory exploded
and soon the library and museum
was in flames, when attention was
given to save the old building. The
museum is, perhaps, one of the finest in the
country and not excelled in the West The
library consists of 5000 volumes, selected
with great care during the last ten years,
which were all lost. DIR. ID. M. Fordam's
collection of fishes can not be duplicated.
The new building is entirely destroyed.
There is no doubt but that lightning caused
the fire, as thunder storm was raging at
the time, and was carried to Prof Willie's
room by telephone wire. The loss will
reach over 100000; $40, 900 insurance. Tho
building was erected ten years ago.

Highwaymen Lynched in Colorado.

DENVER, Col, July 12.
The lynchirg of two highwaymen, Hag
gerty aud Bowling, at Salida at midnight
last night, created great excitement there.
The mob numbered seventy-ive masked
men, who gathered at Maysville, a station
a few miles from Salida. The party took
a man named Lewt Laws, a prominent man
of MayvilIe, and marched him in front Of
them to the Jail. The guards would not fire
on them for fear of killing their friend
Laws, who was forced ahead of the crowd.
Marshal Bob Kear refused to deliver the
keys when asked. The crowd broke down
the doors, took the prisoners from the
jail and marched them across the
railroad track to a grove of trees
near the church, where they halted
Both men protested their inno-
cence, but it would do no good. just as TIE
ropes were placed around the neck one saids
'Well, you did the sh0obing." They were
strung up with no further ceremony, and
their bodies were left hanging to trees till
about sunrise this morning. These two ruff
fans have been practicing robbing persons
at and near Mayville for several days. They
had been loafing near the depot on yesOer-
day, and it is thought that they saw Lynn
draw his pay. The two men were seen by
outside parties following Lynn and the
Swede, and these parties also saw the shoot
ing LYNN is still alive. but there are no
hopes of his recovery. The Swede IS al
right. with the exception OF some BAD
bruises. The masked men were unknown4
but are thought to be the friends OF Lynn
and some citizens Of Mayville.
