ports on the late affray at Barnum that
Frank Burke came to his death by "a
blow from blunt instrument IN the
hands of Alfred Lewis" Lewis was ar
rested and jailed. Lewis is colored
restaurant keeper who keeps restaur-
ant at Barnum. Frank Burke, who was
a stranger in the place, had been I'M
billing whisky quite freely at the Bar
mum saloon, and, after the closing OF the
saloon he, with several Others
went to Lewis restaurant to
lunch. Burke asked Lewis for bed
and was refused. He then became
marrelsome, and the result was a
mill between himself and Lewis. By
ISLANDERS say that Lewis must have used
something besides his fists, for Burke
was found outdoors the next morning
between and 6 o'clock corpse. his
skull had been fractured before he was
thrown out or struck Oh the ice While
being thrown out. The body has been
inferred. Lewis is threatened with
lynching.
SHAKEN UP AGAIN.
The Fourth street rock cut, which;
two weeks ago, was the scene of a har-
rowing dynamite accident, by which
seven men lost their lives, was again
brought prominently before the city
this afternoon by another explosion OF
dynamite, which, though no lives were
lost, was more destructive to property
than the former explosion. About 4
O'Clock the blast was exploded III the
usual way, but the conclusion was so
great that seventy-five pounds OF dyna-
mite stored only 100 feet away for
further use, went into the ar with
startling results. About thirty houses
in the immediate vicinity OF the eX-
plosion were more or less DAM IAN,
aged, windows broken, doors torn
clocks shaken from the walls and six
blocks away, in the Hotel st. Louis
building and opera house block, large
panes Of glass were shattered as though
hit by flying rocks. Women and chill
eren rushed from their houses, panic
stricken, and, strangely enough, al
though several people were thrown
down on the streets no one was hurt.
The damage to houses is estimated at
LOCO. Contractor Fitzpatrick says the
dynamite which exploded was just
about TO be used in blasting.
