Another Lynchiug.

G1RARD, Kansas, July 6--At Baxter
Springs, Cherokee county, a girl IA years
old was waylaid, ravished and terribly
maltreated on Saturday afternoon. John
Lawrence (colored) aged II, was arretsed
for the crime and brought to Columbus at
night for safe keeping. Amob followed and
in some way a young white man named
Wolfe, one OF the party, was shot and
killed. Yesterday morning the colored boy
was brought here and lodged in jail. When
the train from Baxter Springs reached here
al noon to-day about twenty men got of
near the station and scattered through the
town. Hall an hour later a number OF
armed men made Il dash for the jail, broke
down the iron door, tool the prisoner out
and marched him up the main street, with
the armed men around him to keep the
citizens from interfering. They took hin
two blocks west of the Jail and hanged him
to a rafter of an unfinished house; then one
of them (said to be the father OF the girl
emptied his revolver into the body. The
participants in the mob then walked out OF
town and returned to their homes.

Fighting Editors.

LAREDO, Tex, July 6.-Twenty shots in
rapid succession were heard last night
across the Rio Grande in New Laredo. 1t
was generally known that Montalbo, edi.
tor OF the HorizOnte, a Mexican paper pub
lished in Laredo, had gone to the other
side of the river about shutdown for the
purpose of engaging in mortal combat with
young Arguindigue, editor OF the Ell Bravo,
published in New Laredo. Montalbo was
shot seven times and died within two
hours. Arguindigue was slightly wounded
once across the abdomen and once through
the right thigh. 1t is impossible to obtain
particulars Of the duel. 1t seems, however,
that MontalbO was assailed by several
parties during the fight. The editors had
been indulging in violent personalities
through the columns OF their papers for
several months.

The Highland Mine.

"Manny" Polglaise came in last Satur-
day from Basin City. and from him The
MINER reporter learned that min
ing at that place is being conducted
with very commendable enterprise.
One OF the most prominent mining proper
ties at that place is the Highland mine.
This claim is owned by W. A. Clark & Co.,
who are working it for ''all there is in it"
The main shaft is o down seventy feet,
and is in good ledge matter. Samples taken
from all over the bottom OF the shaft will
assay from $40 to $25 per ton. When the
shaft has attained a depth OF 100 feet, two
drifts will be started, running north and
south on the ledge. When the drifts are
carried in a short distance, the main shaft
will be sunk another 100 feet, which will
necessitate the employment OF an addi-
tional force OF men. Messrs. Clark & Co.
have evidently a good thing in the High
land, and they are determined to conduct
operations there with vigor.

CRIMES.
A Series of Bold Burglaries and Other
OffenSeS.

The past two or three days have been
marked by a series Of bold burglaries and
thefts which thus far have remained a
mystery. The police are a~nxiously on the
lookout for the perpetrators but hav thus
far been unsuccessful although they have
not by any means become discouraged.
A 5000 DOLLAR sTEAL
By far the largest and most important
of the burglarles was the robbery OF the
safe at the establishment Of Thomas
Denoon, corner of Main and Broadway.
Mr.. Denoon did not leave the store until
after l o'clock and on proceeding to open
up yesterday morning he foundt that during
his absence it had been burglarized and the
safe robbed Of over $500. An entrance had
been effected at the rear side door through
the tailor shop, but whether this had been
left open or an entrance was secured by
means Of a skeleton key is not known.
None OF the goods in the store had been
disturbed but the safe had been opened in
some mysterious and rlf1ed vi It's
contents. Mr.. Denoon is certain that
before leaving he locked the safe and threw
off the combination, but this hardly seems
possible as there was no marks OF violence
on the face or lock. There are several
theories and several suspects but as yet it
would be unfair and impOlitic to state
either. The victim will spare no pains to
secure the detection of the robbers and it is
to be hoped that the efforts OF the police in
that direction will be successful.
CIGARS AND LIQUORS
Early Sunday morning the saloon OF Jer'
ry Mccarthy IN Main street was entered
by burglars, who climbed over the rear
transom and carried off about $50 worth
of wines, liquors and cigars and a meer-
chaum pipe. The thieves could not have
been long in committing their ~depredations
and they did not leave the slightest clue.
RESIDENCE BURGLARlzED.
Saturday morning some parties entered
the kitchen of Mrs. Bakers residence on
Wyoming street through the cellar n trap
door. Bottled doors prevented their getting
any further so they cody contented them
selves with eating a meal from the kitchen
table and taking away all the provisions
they could carry.
BOLD SwINDLE
Sunday afternoon a lady and gentleman,
strangers in the city, who desire to rent a
house, were passing the Mcnamara resi-
dence on Granite street which had recently
been vacated, when they saw a man sitting
in front OF the house. In answer to their
inquiries he said it was for rent at S2O per
month and after some bargaining they de-
ci6ed to take it and paid the fellow $40 in
cash. The hummer had nothing to do with
the house, but had in some manner got pos
session Of a key and took advantage OF the
opportunity to make the $40 as above. OF
course he has not been seen SINCE.
THE MEANEST
thief of them all stole a suit Of clothes from
the room of The MINER city editor Satur-
day night. The garments were not extra
expensive and the cash was limited but
there were some papers, letters and mem
oranda that will be missed by the loser
and cannot possibly benefit the thief.

A BIG INNER
One of'the incidents OF the races, and
rather an expensive one for certain Butte
men, was the entrance Of two running
horses, Burt and Srring..John, by w. A.
Stiles OF Dillon. The horses arrived here
about three weeks ago, and took pant in
the races a week ago, which they lost and
with it about $40 for the owner. The ami
mails must nave been in better condition
on the 4th and 9Th, for each won his race,
and with it, according to report, from
81, 800 to 81 800 for Mr.. Stiles; not a bad
days work for a Dillon man.

The value OF the ore per ton is S72. The
daily capacity, fifty tons, makes $4,000,
deduct cost of smelling. $51, leaves a daily
net profit OF $3.50, or ii, 1876 marks.
If we even triple these figures OF expense
to allow for differing situations, ores and
cost of labor and material it will be seen
that the use OF the Hartsfeld furnace will
give an opportunity to miners which has
never heretofore been theirs. The fact that
no brick is used in it's construction will be
appreciated.
The total weight OF a fifty-ton furnace set
up complete, is T. pounds, and it's size
seven by twe.ity-rine feet. Thu smaller
ones, as we have said, are only 1,6OO
pounds, and we feel assured in predicting
that so handy a device can not fail OF the
extensive patronage in our mining regions
that it has already found in those OF Cen
trail Europe. 1t is certain that many prop
critics now abandoned as worthless may be
made by it's operation to yield handsome
returns. The mountain forests can supply
it with abundance OF fuel, and the mountain
mule is sufficiently sturdy to run the blast.

A RIG WINNER,
CASUALTIES
Accidents Which Occurred During the
Past Three Days.

Sunday afternoon, about Z O'Clock, Geo.
F. Pober, an employe at the depot, while
coupling, was caught between the bumpers
of the right leg. Drs. Bishop and Murray
were called in and decided that an ampu-
tation was necessary, which operation they
performed, cutting the leg between the knee
and thigh. The patient is resting comfort
ably to-day.
SHOT HIMSELF.
The audience at the Theater Comique
was rather startled Sunday night by the
discharge of a pistol in one OF the boxes,
and for a little while there was considerable
alarm. 1t did not, however. take long to
explain the affair, which occurred as fol-
lows: Officer Liddle, who wasin the theater,
had a pistol in his pocket and as he was
about to take a seat the hammer struck a
chair and the weapon was accidentally dis
charged. Unfortunately the bullet struck
Mr.. Liddle in the f1eshy part OF the calf and
inflicted a painful wound. DR.. Hough at
tended the wounded man and extracted
the bullet, after which he was taken to his
home, where he will be confined for a few
days.
SUDDEN DEATH.
Coroner Whitford wal summoned to
Feeley Station Sunday afternoon to inves-
tigate the cause of the death of William
Lamuette, who dropped dead in the yard
of Charles Boden, about four miles east of
Feeley. An inquest and postmortem re-
vealed the fact that death was caused by
the bursting of a blood vessel and conse-
quent s~trangulation. Deceased has no
relatives in this section and the remains
were brought to Butte and inferred.
