Utica Burned Down.


UTICA, Mimi, May 15.-Seefield's ele-
vator caught fire at 1880 a. IN. to-day.
The wind was blowing gale, and the en-
tire building was consumed in few min
utes. Ignited boards and cinderS flew in
every direction, and for a few hours the fire
fiend found food to devour, consuming thirty
four buildings on the north side OF the
railroad The fire department at Lewiston
was called and saved part of the buildings
on the South side of the track. The force
OF the wind and heat of the fire carried
burning boards for over mile. Several
buildings narrowly escaped destruction by
great effort on the part OF the tenants. MI.
Seefield's loss is about 81, 600, insured for
81, 500; Benjamin Ellsworth lost his ma
chinery sheds, barn and machinery, valued
at about IS, 500; insured for 81 500. Z. j.
Hammers store and contents, loses more
than So, 600; insured for $500. Mrs. Flick,
hotel, barn and contents, loss over $3, 600;
insured for 81, 800. Browns hotel and
barn was an entire loss; amount OF inSur-
ance not known John Ludwig's house and
goods: D. Browns dwelling, barn, horses,
poultry, harness, buggieS and feed; D..
BOyd'S saloon; j. Dewey'S house and barn.
A number Of others lost houses and barns,
but in the confusion their names, losses
and amount of insurance could not be
learned. Neighboring farmers are caring
for the twelve or thirteen destitute families.
A number Of severe ScorcheS are reported,
but no one was fatally burned, as far as can
be learned. Only one store, the depot and
warehouse are left standing on the town

OwAToNNA, May 15.-At II O'Clock last
night the house of a Norwegian farmer
named Henry Lewiston, living in Aurora
township about six miles southeast OF TINS
city,w burned, and five of his children
persisted in the flames. The family, con-
sisting of himself, wife, seven children and
a hired man, were all sleeping at the Time
in the second story Of his log house. Inc
only window in that part Of the house over
looked a shanty addition used Tor kltchen.
Lewiston and wife were awakened by the
glare of the fire and rushed down stairs, Mrs.
Lewiston carrying her youngest child III her
arms. another child. aged 10 years, and the
hired man following. When Lewiston
opened the only door of the house which led
into the shanty the smoke and flames
burst in, nearly overpowering him
and burning off part of his hair
and beard. The hired man then
broke out window, through which they
got out, but not before Mrs. Lewison was
severely burned. Lewison made several
frantic efforts to reach the children still
asleepu ND stairs, but as there was no door
or window through which this could be
done except the window on the side OF the
house already in flames, he was powerless
to rescue them. The persons thus Gre
mated alive were four boys, aged Is, Is, 6
and years, and girl aged 10. A few
bones and a small quantity Of eharred flesh
wholly unacceptable were all that could
be found of those who met so horrible a
fate

Millions at Stake.

YANKToN, May 15.-The case in which
the Sitting Bull Mining company is the ap-
pellant and the Richmond Mining company
is the respondent, is now before the SUI
preme court and is attracting much atten-
ton here. The case involves valuable
mineral lands in the Black Hills, worth
probably 50, 900, 900, and is most ably advo-
Gated on both sides. In 1877 the corpora
ton known as the Sitting Bull Mining COM
pany discovered vein of rich ore, located
a claim and followed the find. The Rich
mond company struck a lead about the
same time and followed it. After trlnnelling
$40 feet the Sitting Bull intercepted the
Richmond tunnel The Richmond COM
pany procured temporary injunction re-
straining the Sitting Bull company from
proceeding further. The case was tried
before Judge Church and decided in favor
of the Richmond company. Fifty-six days
were consumed in the trial and the de-
PENDANTS in the action expended thousands
of dollars procuring maps and cuts of the
two tunnels and adjacent claims. The law
of Apex was the principal point involved.
The Sitting Bull company appealed from
the decision. 1t is said that under Judge
Church's decision claims are not secured by
a United States patent. The decision of
the court is awaited with much anxiety by
the mining operators of this territory.

Boys Hunting Indians.

Arlington Enterprise: On Sunday after
noon three boys living in the vicinity of
West Union went out into the woods, each
being armed with shotgun, intending to
have a little sport hunting. After they had
gone some distance one of them remarked
that they could have lots of fun if it was
only wild country where Indians could be
seen, and asked his companions to play In
dian. At this question one of the compan-
ions asked him what he would do if he
were to see an Indian, to which he replied
that he would shoot him. Why, said the
companion, if were an Indian, before you
had time to shoot me I could kill you.
And at the same time he made this remark
he raised his gun and pulled the trigger,
not knowing it was cooked, when it went
off, and the full charge entered the unfOr-
tunate boys stomach. At the time of the
accident the boys were not more than
twenty feet apart, and upwards of forty
shot entered his victims stomach. The
name of the shooter was not learned, but
the one who was hurt is brother of John
Smedberg, who is manager of NJ. Simon
itSch'S store in this village. He bled con-
siderably, and after the flow of blood was
stopped he began to vomit raising consid-
cradle blood and several shot. At last ac-
counts it was not thought he could re-
cover,

Is. will be built this season, and the rest
when a railroad approaches, which hardly
can be but year or two.
1t is reported that the president of the
Indian Rights association is soon coming
out to see how the ''poor Los" are suffering
from the encrOachments of the whites. His
associatio is understood to have been very
active in securing the proclamation to close
the reservations, and his reception will not
be the most cordial among the white set
tiers.
The explanation of the stealing of val
liable horse from the public street in Scot
land in the day time is given by the Citizen
as being the work of love-sick young Rus
sian who wanted to follow his sweetness to
Campbell county, where she had removed
with her parents But after riding day
or two his ardor cooled, and he sold the
horse for S75 and returned home. Fortu-
nately for him his father adjusted the mat
ter and kept him out of the penitentiary
George Ziebach mentions this incident of
his visit to Washington to find out who the
president wanted for governor: While in
Washington, in the company of other Da-
kOtaians, we called upon Gen. Atkins,
commissioner of Indian affairs, and re-
quested him to direct the agent at Crow
creek to keep his Indian police at home and
prevent them from interfering with the set
tiers and from attempting to drive them off;
and assured him that if force was necessary
to eject the settlers one white man, clothed
with the proper authority, would be suffi-
Gent but that the settlers would not sub
nit to the Indians without resistance.
The Redfield Dispatch, which is lead
ing Democratic paper of the center, pro-
poses to leave the Sioux Falls convention
alone and petition congress to admit as a
state the counties east of the Missouri river
and south of the tier cut by the Northern
Pacific railroad, leaving the North to form
another state later on and the country west
of the Missouri river third eventually.
The first state would be about the size of
Illinois and nearly the same shape. Some
believe the most promising scheme would
be to take in all the country east of the
Missouri river in one state, running due
north from Bismarck, and leave the catt lie
and mining regions west to remain terri
tory indefinitely.
