A Strange Story.

One Of the most extraordinary com
ments made by a survivor Of the Mil
waukee fire, comes from "a merchant OF
that city now in New York. He SAYS
There is an appalling whisper going
the rounds, which hope from the bot.
tom Of my heart is not true 1t is to the
effect that the proprietor of the hotel
was in the habit of locking his women
servants up in their bed.r Joms TO keep
them honest, and that when they dis
covered the fire they were Gagged prison.

ccpt by the windows. The proprietor IL
a man with big heart, and is friend
of mine. But | know his opinion OF
working women, and that lends color to
the story" The story seems incredible
Il it is true, the propretors zeal for the
reputation Of the domestics Of his es
! tablishlnent has resulted most disastrous.
/ ~. BY far the largest class Of victims OF
the Ncwha!l firetrap are the women
servants. The list Of the missing is
swelled by their names, and their loss
probably comes with greater distress to
a larger number Of dependent persons
than the death Of all those guests of the
hotel who perished. IF the doors had
been locked upon these girls so that
they should perish like rats in trap
the outcome was hardly more cruel than
the Insult which was thus heaped upon
them by the proprietor. 1t is safe to
aver that as much honesty will be found
among the women servants Of hotel a,
among its women guests. AS class
the "hclp" Of ~ hotel, 50 far as they are
women, are honest, virtuous, hard work
ing, and God fearing. Their labor is
exacting. and if they were creatures
such as il is intimltcd the proprietor OF
the Newhall thought proper to put under
lock and key, they would not remain at
work which left them no time for DALI

less profitable than the life for which

he is reported to be, is represented as

is one upon which inquiry should be
made at the coroner's inquest. II was
bad enough to have kept hotel in
which the servants should be roasted to
death by the score. If the proprietor,
by locking their apartments, had brand
ed them wantonly as woman who could
not be trusted, it is proper that the fact
should be known. The law may not
provide punishment for SO hideous an

have a corrective that viii! reach the

the following, takes kindly to the last
division racket which we gave to the
public. 1t saws: From nearly every
town and precinct of the Black Hills
counties we hear that questions OF
division are being discussed, and there
seems to be aOrong probability at the
present time that some Of them will re-
ceive attention by our legislature this
winter We are confident the opinion
Of Governor Ordway, expressed in his
message, to the effect that all changes OF
county boundaries should be submitted
to a vote Of the people affected by them,
will be concurred in, not only by our
legislators, but by the people Of the terri
tory generally, and no injustice could be
worked by sbmitting such propositions
10 vote. II seems foregone conclusion
that the boundaries Of Lawrence county
will ere long be changed, and in view of
the fact it may be appropriate that our
people consider and discuss these cues
tions Of division SO that when changes
shall be made they may be such as TO
leave our counties more symmetrical in
shape and the county seats more con-
venicn' of access than they are at the
present time \ proposition is mention
ed hy the Chronicle TO divide Penning-
ton county on a north and south line,
probably in the vicinity of Pactolo, Civ.
ing the northwestern portion, including
Rockford, Mycrsville and other districts
to Lawrence, and the southwestern por-
tion 10 Custer. We opposed the propos-
ed division two years ago, because il was
then advocated that the western portion
should be organized into one indepel-
dent county, AID we did not believe that
section Of country to be in condition
sufficiently prosperous to support Il
separate county government In view
Of the condition of affairs in that por-
ton of the Hills since the time spoken
Of, we know our grounds were well
taken. But we have realized that time
w0u!d come when the Black HILLS couN-
ties would be remodelleI. For instance
it is not reasonable to suppose penning-
ton county will remain forever in the
present shape and proportions, eighty
miles long and but twenty in width.
Should :he work of division be com
men"cd, and dividing line north and
south be made, crossing at or near Pac-
tola, the subdivision west Of such line
being given to Custer and Lawrence.
there should be attached 10 what would
then constitute Pennington county two

on the south, outside Of The foothills.
This would take in Box Elder and FIX

county very nearly square. We cannot
say, at the present time that we are pre-
pared to advise such change, bat

that we should gain in width Of the ter

An Interesting Suit.

A brace of important suits are on the
docket Of our district cour; and may
come on for trial at the present term.
They grew ont of our great fire, and are
the result of alleged criminal careless
ness. These suits. which involve dam
ages in the sum OF S5S, 600, are against r.
{. Lake, and arc brought by Graves &
Barney and Browning & Wringrose.
The papers in the cases were served on
the defendent just before his departure
from this city few days ago
The plaintiffs occupied fire proof brick
buildings before and after the time Of
that disastrous confagraton, am, claim
that their buildings were safe until the
explosion Of the large amount Of powder
unlawfully stored in Mr.. Lakes store,
which opened seams in the walls of
their structures, admitting flames to the
destruction of property in the sum above
designated.
1t will still be remembered by many
Of our citizens that the report was cur
rent during the progress of the fire, of a
dangerous quantity Of powder stored in
Mr.. Lakes store, whsch was verified by
the explosion. The buildings occupied
by the complainants were regarded in
tact until this occurrence, when large
openings were noticed in their walls.
That the explosion created large aper-
lures in the walls Of the complainants
store buildings there is no doubt, as
many pieces of hardware were blown
through Browning & Wringrose's store
into that Of Graves & Barney, and were
found after the fire. The only strange
part Of The proceedings il that the suits
were deferred until this late day.
The suits are calculated TO attract
much attention, and other suits no doubt
