Office were broken open and cords of books
and records piled up wherever there was
woodwork. The court house was solid
structure three-Stories in height, and has
stood twenty-five years. 1t was built almost
entirely of stone and IRON and was thought
to be FIRE proof. The safe and vaults in the
TTeaSurer's Office probably stood the heat
but the records Of the courts, the Auditor.
and the Recorder are gone The mob yelled
with glee about the burning building.
The firing around the court house contin-
ned at intervals. The Gatling-gun was fired
ten minutes with deadly effect There is
strong condemnation on the streets of the
manner in which the people were moved
down with this gun 1t is said the crank
was turned half way around, and when the
people rushed up to help those who had
fallen, the remaining half of the charge was
fired into them and another swath fell.
Many Of the killed and wounded were
merely lookers-on. The crowd was fred
upon almost as often as the mob proper.
After the recapture of the cannon from
the rioters it became evident that nothing
further could be done toward capturing the
jail, and the mob soon afterward began to
disperse, and before half-past four O'Clock
in the morning the turbulence and riot of the
nlgnt Ha0 ceased entirely, ana the. I'M
mense crowd dwindled down to merely
few knots of men here and there on the
corners. Smouldering ruins, pools of
blood and pickets of militia marked the
section about the courthouse and JAN. The
monetary loss was fully $1,000, 900.
All the criminal indictments were
destroyed, and now there is nothing to show
against the prisoners in the Jail. The coun-
ty records are safe. 1t is now supposed that
no less than twenty personswere killed and
as many more severely injured in Satur-

Berner sprang from his seat and started for
the front end of the car. The crowd thought
it was Berner trying to escape, and bouncing
on him, bore him to the ground. He was
choked and beaten and almost killed before
the mistake was discovered. Berner had
sprung from his seat, but In attempting to
jump from the platform he fell headIong to

A wonderful work of Nature.

A great deal of attention has been given
during the last few days to the explora-
tion of a new cave which has been discov-
cred along the coast about half a mile
north of Bayfield,, in Bayfield, County.
The action of the waves and frost had
loosened the rocks which had barred the
entrance until they had fallen, disclosing
passage about ten feet wide and four
feet high, extending for soms distance
through the solid brown-stone rock which
here forms the coast. This passage, which
gradually grows larger, leads into a gall
lery which covers nearly half an acre. In
this gallery there are several pillars and
arches, which appear to support the top,
the largest being about seven feet through.
From this main gallery there are several
leads extending in various directions,
gradually dwindling into nothing-or end
ing in other galleries. In one of these
there gushes from the rocks stream of
water, which flows along for several rods
and then suddenly disappears in a crew
ice. In this small stream were seen sew
eral fish. The main gallery with its pill
lars, arches and recesses resembles more
tho work of skilled architects and mechan-
les than the work of nature.
