A Would be Burglar Blown Up.


A Butte miner named W.P. Emery, de-
string to go out prospecting, ingeniously
fixed up a burglar trap in his cabin that
it might not be ransacked during his ab-
sence. It seems he securely locked his
cabin and SO arranged the interior of it
that in case any one effected an entrance
they would disturb a combination setting
off heavy charge of dynamite. Leaving
his shack protected IN this manner he had
not been away many days until an attempt
was made to rob his cabin of its valuables,
and on Saturday night terrible explosion
took place there. On inspection next
morning it was round that the only win
dow had been broken open and at the end
of the room the floor was torn up and
spllntered by an explosion and the cabin
generally badly wrecked. The interior
of the cabin was spattered with blood
There was blood ON the door, blood on the
wall, the top of stove in one corner was
covered with blood, the window sill was
partially stained red, and just inside the
room some three feet away from the win
dow, was pool of blood as if quart or
more had oozed out on the floor from the
wound of some person who had fallen
there. Search for the would-be burglar
was made and he was finally found at one
of the lodging houses in precarious con-
dition. HIS skull was badly fractured,
the top of his head being almost blown
off by the force of the explosion. He
gave the name of Harrison but would give
no further account of himself He is in
bad shape and it is doubtful if he can
survive.

At Georgetown, mining camp in the
vicinity of Butte, on Saturday night last
fire came sweeping down the mountains
from no one knew where. and everyone
turned out to fight it to save the town and
the Pyrenees works from destruction. A
saloon keeper passed a demijohn around
to encourage the boys, and after the fire
was extinguished more drinking followed,
ending finally in free fight in which one
Of the participants was seriously if not
fatally shot in the shoulder.
The buildings of the Toston Mercantile
company, at Toston, fortyeight miles
east of Helena, were totally destroyed by
fire on Friday evening of last week.
The property was an entire loss, there
being no insurance on either buildings or
stock. The former was TO have been
insured upon completion, the coming
week. Fortunately the store had very
recently opened for business and only a
portion of the stock had arrived. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
Walkerville News: The fire, of which
mention was made in our last issue, was
the burning of about 1000 cords of wood
at Browns gulch, together with about 500
feet of flume, all the property of the
Moulton Mining company. There seems
to be no doubt but the fire was an incen-
diary one, as when discovered the wood
was on fire in number of places and
tracks of horses were found leading away
from it. A reward of $500 is offered by
the company for information that will lead
to the arrest and conviction of the perpe-
traitors.
Over Five Hundred Families Destitute.
Advices from the southwestern coast of
Texas, particularly in the region Of the
mouth of the Rio Grande and from some
interior points, give accounts of great
rain storm and much destruction of prop
erty during the past week. From the
21st to the 23d tremendous rain storm
and hurricane swept over the vicinity OF
Brownsville, Texas, including Matamoras
Twenty-six inches of rain fell up to the
night of the 23d, and the wind is said to
have reached a velocity Of nearly 100
miles per hour. Over 200 houses in
Brownsville were blown down and large
number damaged, rendering homeless
some 800 families. In Matamoras over
800 houses were leveled and many injured.
The entire rear part of the city, embrac
ing over thirty blocks, was flooded to the
depth of from three to eight feet, and the
people living there were rescued only with
the greatest difficulty. There is great
suffering in both Matamoras and Browns
vile. In the latter place fully $50 fam
lilies are destitute, and in the former 40C
families are homeless and in want Re
lief measures have been adOpted.

that it will never be great success. 1t
consists of single sheet of paper about
53x1O inches in size, with one end shaped
like the lap Of an envelope and the other
end square. The ends and top are per-
forated for convenience in opening, the
sides and head being gummed for sealing.
On the face printed in pale green ink the
stamp of two cent denomination, bearing
a vignette portrait of Gen. Grant, and a
scroll and shield handsomely executed
bearing the words, "United States Letter
Sheet Envelope" The new device will
not answer the demands of extensive cor
respondencc, but for short business notes
and letters from travellers it will prove "a
