Fires at Miles CitV.

Miles City was visited by two fires last
week which destroyed three buildings
causing loss of about 81 900, covered by
insurance to the amount of $4,000. The
first fire broke out in the frame house op-
posite the Drover's Hotel, belonging to
Mrs. samlin and occupied by Mrs. Hol-
lenbeck. Two little boys were the only
occupants at the time the fire started, one
of whom was asleep. The other woke his
companion and gave the alarm, but the
building and part of its contents were
burned.
The other fire occurred in the house
known as "27," belonging to R. White
and occupied by Edith Ellsworth, and
caught in the upper story about 2 O'Clock
in the morning. The occupants of the
house were absent. The furniture in the
lower story was saved but everything up
stairs was destroyed. Before the fire could
be checked an adjoining cottage belong.
ing to Mr.. Knowlton caught fire and was
also consumed. The origin of the fire
Was probably incendiary.

efforts of the fire department failed to save
it. The numerous variety performers who
occupied the third story at the time the
fire started were all sleeping soundly and
nearly all of them narrowly escaped being
burned to death. Many of them were
obliged to leave the burning building in
their night clothes and lost all of their
clothing and jewelry. The total loss of
property aggregates about 100000. cover
ed by insurance to about half that amount.
The mammoth barn, about 100x20O
feet IN size and three stories high, of the
Brookbank Dairy, was discovered to be
on fire about 1890 last Sunday. The
alarm was promptly given and the fire
men were soon out in full force, but as
the barn was situated fully half a mile
below the lowest fire plug, all efforts to
save the building proved of no avail.
Two Durham bulls and 140 COWS were
rescued from the barn but 81 other COWS
and one horse were cremated. A large
amount Of hay and number of saddles
and harness were also burned. The prop
erty belonged to Joseph H. Saville, and
his loss aggregates about 5000; insured
for $500.

A DaStardlv Deed.

A terrible attempt on human life was
perpetrated on the night Of the 9th inst,
in shanty near the railroad tracks in east
st. Louis. Railroad men who happened
to be out were attracted to the shanty by
the glare of fire and heartrending screams
and cries from six men who were in the
shanty. The door, which had been fasten-
ed from the outside, was broken down and
two men rushed out, enveloped in flames,
while four others were carried out and
rolled in the snow. The faces of the vic
Tins we're blackened and long strips of
flesh peeled off, presenting horrible sight
The unfortunate men were taken to the
relay depot and while there told how the
fire originated. They had strolled into the
shanty one by one to get warm and were
sitting around the stove talking, when
suddenly the flames leaped all over the
room, enveloping the men before they
could turn to the door. The strange man
ner in which the fire started can only bt
explained on the ground that some wretcl
poured Oil and powder down the chime,
TO the stove.

twenty-five handsome Caucasian young

IN Chicago on the 4th inst. in the rooms of
the Third Presbyterian Mission on West
Madison street. The reception was held
in honor of the Chinese New Year, being
the second day of three days celebra-

in the Chinese Sunday schools IN that city.
The guests were entertained from D. m
till 10 p. M. The young ladies served the
Cinnamon with coffee and sandwiches,
sang songs and gave recitations. During
intervals bowls of seap-suds and long
stemmed pipes were brought in, then all
the Cinnamon and young ladies had a
merry time seeing who could blow the
biggest bubble and whose bubble would
soar the highest, meanwhile romping about
together like little children.

Railway Track Disappears

The roadbed and track on the new Bur-
lington Il Northern railroad at point be-
tween Stockholm, Wisconsin, and Maiden
Rock has mysteriously disappeared-sunk
out of sight. Since the disappearance of
the roadbed, few days ago, contractors
have had engineers sounding the sink hole
and in places they have been unable to
find bottom. It is estimated that 100, 900
cubic yards of earth will be required to
fill up the sink and make solid roadbed.
Other estimates place the amount of earth
that will be required at treble the above
figures. Men are now at work filling up
the hole as fast as possible.

About 8 80 o'clock Friday morning of

rooms in the theatre comique building at
Butte. The building was a three-story
frame structure. The first floor was oecu-

and dressing rooms; the second story was
occupied by the gallery, divided into
boxes, and the third story contained living

Hanged at Leadville.

Sy Minick, one of the three men who
murdered Samuel Baldwin near Leadville,
Colorado, October 18, 1884, for $1,7O0
was hung on the 5th inst. Minick cx-
pected Governor Eaton would commute
his sentence to life Imprisonment and up
to the day of his doom was very indiffer-
ent, driving clergymen out Of his cell by
his blasphemy. In the morning when he
discovered that he must hang he called
loudly for preacher and earnestly prayed
Almighty God for forgiveness. He as
cended the scaffold with cigar in his
mouth and smile OH his face, and was
launched into eternity denying his guilt
to the last minute.
The morning of his execution, however,
he made a partial confession to the sheriff.
on the strength of which five other indi-
viduals were arrested as his accomplices
and are now in Jail.

Cut His Shackles with a Steel Pen.

Bill Booth, confined in Jail at Buffalo,
Wyoming, under sentence of death for
murder, has recently made several at
tempts to escape. His latest move in this
direction, and novel one too, was the
cutting of his shackles apart with steel
pen. His intention was to overpower the
sheriff when he entered his cell, but an
other prisoner informed on him and his
plans we're foiled. He is to be executed

Bull Dog Kelly Not to Be Extradited

1t begins to look as If Bull Dog Kelly,
who was arrested in St. Paul several
months ago and since confined in Jail
awaiting extradition for the murder of
Robert Baird in British Columbia, is not
to be extradlted. A Washington state
has been made in his case; that Secretary
Bayard found the evidence varied so that
it was impossible to identify Kelly as the
man wanted and he would not order his
extradition to the British Columbia auth
critics. However, tie Canadian autEori-
ties will endeavor to secure Kelly's re-
arrest if he is set free.

working hours in wet ground from to
10 hours, and in dry from 10 to IL hours,
and if any order was given to take men
out of the mine to wheel wood to furnaces,
it was unknown to him and never would
have had his sanction, and was quite
unnecessary.
An engineer in one of the Butte mines
was discharged the other day for being too
mean and stingy to eat enough. His sal
ary was $5 per day and he was very mis-
erly. He bunked in the hoisting works
and boarded at a Chinese restaur-
ant on two meals "a day at 25 cents a
meal. The owner of the mine learning of
his actions forthwith discharged him.
Town Talk: From the Stag remains of
the Colorado smelling furnaces is now
manufactured picturesque table ware. The
Stag is melted and colored at will, is twice
run in liquid form through agitated wa
ter and made flexible by acids. A metal
lie glass as heavy as cast iron is the result.
1t can be nodded into any shape, and the
colors are brilliant, variegate1 and artistic.
s. G.. F. Cobban, Butte man, was rob
bed by his room mate Of 1926 last week.
Alaf Radley, the room mate, pretended to
be ill and remained in his room. Before
leaving the room Cobban tossed his pock-
ct book in his trunk and when he returned
found Radley gone and his money missing.
Radley was traced to Portland where he
was arrested. He had $4,000 of the
money left when taken.
Helena Independent: The Gloster mine
produced during the month of January
$91 800 in bullion at a total expense of
$31 $50, making net profit of $5O,340.
Of this expense, $4,000 was paid out for
quicksilver, salt and the sinking of the
main shaft. The salt and quicksilver will
not be put to use until March. The min
ing and milling expense for January
would, therefore, be $23, $50, Or profit of
$5S,340.
A stranger died in Frank Dierman's sa-
loon at Missoula last Thursday night from
the effects of a dose Of laudanum, p1oba-
bly, taken with suicidal intent. He had
made inquiries for help and could obtain
none. He entered the saloon early in the
evening and took seat by the stove where
he went to sleep, and when it was discov-
cred that he was under the influence of the
powerful drug medical aid was unable to
revive him. There was nothing found
upon his person by which to identify him.
