MILLIONAIRE,S SUDDEN DEATH,
Samuel p. Burt Stricken Down
Almost without Warming.

Almost without Warming.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 10.-A sensation
was caused by a rumor this morning that
Samuel P. Burt, n of MiIwaukee's
wealthiest and best citizens, had dropped
dead. Mr.. Burt died very suddenly at 8
O'Clock this morning while on a business
trip to Metropolitan, a mining town in the
northern part of Michigan. Accompanied
by his wife, he went to Metropolitan two
days ago on matters relating to his large
mining business, and his death, without a
symptom of illness or warning. was a great
shock to those around. Less than a year
ago Mr.. Burt's first wife died from apo
plexy. Her large property, amounting to
500, 900, was left to him.
On March 26 Mr.. Burt created q great
sensation in social circles by quietly mar
rying Miss Elizabeth Thompson, a pretty
Young Scotchwoman, who had for several
years been a servant in his family. The
matter was the talk of the town for days,
but, owing to Mr.. Burt's social standing
and great wealth, the little scandal was
| allowed to simmer q while and die out
| altogether. A few days ago Mr.. Burt and
| his bride returned from an extended bridal
| tour, and the young wife to-day changed
her orange blossoms for weeds OF mourn
| ing. There are many unusual features
about the case. Mr.. Burt was preparing
| to move into a palatial residence that he
had just completed at a COST of several
hundred thousand dollars. It is said TO
be one of the most artistic residences in
| the country, and Mr.. Burt and his bride
would have moved into it Immediately
| upon their return from Michigan. The
bride of a few weeks is left a fortune esti-
| mated to be more than 81, 900 900.
Mr.. Burt was a New Englander by birth,
and, at the time of his death, about 45
years of age. He came here from New
Bedford, Mass.

A SICK HERO.
An Old Robber-Fighter Searching
for Health.

fOr HeAttn.
Reno Gazette: Eugene Blair, whose fame
for bravery is national, is at Auburn,
Placer county, trying the effect Of that
climate on his health. He spent the Win
ter at San Diego, but 1t did not give him
strength. He is going to stay at Auburn a
while, and if it is not beneficial will come
to Reno. Mr.. Blair is a brother of Sen
ator A. j. Blair of Lincoln county, Ne
vada, whom he resembles very much. He
has the reputation among Wells, Fargo's
men OF being absolutely destitute Of fear.
He was born in Augusta, Maine, in 1845,
and came to the Coast in 1854. He has had
several hard fights with robbers, but was
never robbed. Everybody has heard
Of his fight with Big Jake Davis at
the Willows, on the Eureka and Typo
route, in 1877. Davis had him down and
put the muzzle of his shotgun against
Blair's breast. Before the latter could get
out both triggers had been pulled but both
caps snapped and it did not take long for
the wiry and powerful messenger to turn
the tables. In 1875 he was driving in
Utah and was ordered to throw up handss
but his team ran AVA and the robbers
failed. One Spring morning near Ward,
two men sprang at him and the shooting
began at once, one robber fell dead, and
Blair tracked the other for six days in the
mountains. He went to the penitentiary
and died there. Driving into Phoebe in
1875, one man tried to rob his stage. He
drew on him and shot him in the shoulder.
The fellow fed, but Blair picked hin up
three days later. In answer to the CUES
ton, show many men have you killed,
Mr.. Blair 2" he quietly said, ''two." When
asked for the circumstance of the second,
he said it was not during his connection
with Wells. Fargo, and was something he
never talked about. Mr.. Blair's numerous
friends in Nevada hope to see him better
soon.

Troubles Generally.

Troubles Generally.
A dispatch from Tombstone, Arizona,
dated June 8, says:
At 2 o'clock this afternoon a man named
John E. Dunbar was forcibly compelled to
leave this camp by the local Miners Union.
Dunbar was a Toughnut miner and also a
member Of the Union, which accused hin
Of betraying the secrets of the organization.
The Union met in a body in their hall, and
putting Dunbar in the lead, escorted him
about a mile and a half out OF camp, and
directed him never to return. The follow
ing notice was published in the paper here
this evening:
"MR. EDITOR: 1t has lately been brought
to my notice that there are several persons
in this city who are continually speaking
disrespectfully of the Miners Union. Now
/ wish to notify these gentlemen to be care
full. / find a strong feeling in the Union
to uphold our rights. We have tried our
best to be law-abiding citizens. and have
not as yet taken any advantage OF our
strength, but I am fully convinced that
there is a feeling in our Union to remove
from our midst those persons who are try
ing their best to "down" the Union. Par
ties who have had some authority have said
that when the mines start up they will let
the Union men out, as occasion requires.
Now Mr.. Editor, these remarks cause bad
feeling, and / m OF opinion that harsh
measures will be meted out to such persons
If they persist in using such language. 1t
is we'll known to the people of Tombstone
that we have done nothing wrong, 80 far;
but l assure you that some Of the miners
of this camp are Of the opinion that it is
time to pursue some other line Of action.
We will not be put down by a few petty
officers who are trying all they can to give
us a bad name amongst the people Of this
town. / hope that in the future parties
who are interested will be careful how they

The Wonderful Secret.

Once upon a time there was a king
who had q little boy whom he loved
very much. So he took a great deal of
pains to make him happy.
He gave him beautiful roomsto hive
in, and pictures and toys and books
without number. lie gave him a
graceful, gentle pony, that he might
ride when he pleased, and row-boat
IN a lovely lake, and servants to wait
Upon him wherever he went. He also
provided teachers who were to give him
The knowledge of things that would
make him cool and great.
But fer all this the young prince was
not happy. lie wore frown wher-
ever he went, and was always wishing
Cor something that he did not have.
AT length one day magician came
TO the court. lie saw the scowl on
he boys face, and he said to the king:
81 can make your son happy, and
turn his frown into smiles. But you
must pay me a great price for telling
him the secret"
"All right" said the king" what
ever you ask | will give"
So the price was agreed upon and
paid, and then the magician took the
boy into a private room. He wrote
something with a white substance
upon piece of white paper Next
he gave the boy candle, and told him
to light it and hold it under the paper,
and then see what he could read. Then
le went away.
The boy did as he been told, and the
white letters on the paper turned into
beautiful blue.
They formed these words:
"Do a kindness to some one every
lay"
The prince made use of the secret,
and he became the happiest boy in the
realm.
