Dura.ss In Ashes.

DENVER, Col, July IA special from
Durango says: At s this afternoon fire
broke out in the southern part Of the 'oity
and in an incredible short time the flames
assisted by strong wind, spread in every.
direction, ,leapiDg from building to bailding
until at this writing, p. q, halfthe town
is in ashes. Every business house and
public building in the city, with the ex-
.ception of the postof1ce and Strator's hotel,
is burned to the ground. The wind is still
blowing and the fire is entirely be-
yOnd control. The. telegraph Office
is threatened and may soon 60.
What the final result will be can
not at the present time be foretOld
The fire department responded nobly but
were completely powerless. The origin Of
the confagratfon has not been learned.
Tie fire was extinguished after the total
destruction of eight houses and three
churches, Part of the residence portion Of
the town was also destroyed. The loss is
estimated at $4,000, with light insurance.
1t is supposed to be incendiary in origin.

day evening, and soon afterwards Iron
Nation, Big Name and Medicine Bull
called. Iron Nation is an old head chiet of
the Brule Sioux, and was strong opposer
Of last years bill. His authority and in.
fluence was much weakened by his fol-
lowers leaving him and signing the bill.
He said that he had been made chief by
the great father yeas ago, ard wanted his
authority recognized by the commission
ers. All the old chiefs now know that
lands in severalty means the loss of power
and prestige, wherefore conservative and
nOn-prOgressive men among them OPP
pose the bill. Fortunately these old men
are more than equalled by young men Of
more activity and intelligence, who have
sense enough to see that q change in the
manner Of their lives will be a necessity in
the near future. This progressive element
the commissioners have tried in every way
to gain, and with pronounced success. This
agency among others along the Missouri
has court for the trial of Indian offences.
Deswait and Eagle Star are the judges
here and they are the leaders Of their tribe.
One feature Of the bill is causing some dis
satisfaction. The Indians do not think the
Santees should participate in the benefits
conferred by it. They say they have no
right in the Sioux reservation, and
therefore should have nothing to
say with reference to the sale of
their lands. 1t seems rather singular that
clergyman here, an educated Santee.
should be industriously fomenting trouble
of this kind, and yet inform alton received
from several sources leaves no doubt of the
fact. There are about $40 males of the age
qualified to vote at the agency, and the
prospects are said to be favorable for get
ting the requisite three-quarters i'll favor
which the commissioners will explain the
difference between the present and last
years bill. AS this was thoroughly dis
cussed last year. less time will be required
in bringing the Indians to decision.

Tho currans Acquitted.

WAUFAcA, Wis, July 9.-The Currans
are once more free men. The jury went
out at 1915 this morning and at 2:l5, after
having been out four hours, returned with
q verdict of acquittal. This was somewhat
Surprising, iii view of the judges charge
which was to the effect that threats &C.
companied by acts Of violence did not con.
stitute suficient ground on which to base a
plea of self-defense. When the verdict
was announced, the crowd in the court
room clapped their hands and uttered wild
cheers. Friends of John and Henry Cur
ran, defendants, and the men who un.
:dO1btedly slew Lawyer Hazeltine, pressed
forward and grasped their hands. The
Currans received the CONGRATULATIONS with
the same c00lness that they have mani
tested throughout the other proceedings OF
the trial. .I5i '-4.sg{i.. .

The Sioux Commission Successful at the
lower Brule Agency.
LOWER BRULE AGENCY, OAK, July g.
In the council this morning Iron Nation
arose and stated that he was head chief,
and would sign the bill. and his people
would follow. M Medicine Bull said they were
willing to follow Iron Nation, but wanted
more explanation. Governor Foster then
went carefully over the bill again, and
General tCrook told the Indians as they
were all waiting they had better sign this
afternoon. That tomorrow would be the
Fourth day Of July, and the fact the the
Indians at Lower Brule had signed would
be telegraphed all over the country,
and their friends would be
pleased. Several Of the chiefs
objected to the Santees participating in the
benefits, but commissioners talked them out
Of this. Iron Nation then said to General
Crook: "1hree Stars, am going to sign
because you tell me this is good bill; but
before do so want you to promise to be
good friend to the Indians here. We
want to remain on White river, and wish
you to tell the great father" Left Hand
Thunder endeavOred to stem the tide
winch was setting so strongly In favor Of
the bill, but his efforts were unaveiling.
Iron Nation signed first, and was followed
in the order of their rank by the other
chiefs. The conversion of Iron Nation, Little
Pheasant, Dead Band and the other lead
ers Of last years opposition was a triumph
hardly equalled in the record of Indian
negotiations, and for which the com.
missiOners deserve great credit. Yester.
day afternoon General Crook, at the re-
quest Of the chief. had a private talk with
gramme that has been successfully carried
out to-day was agreed upon. The Indians
are signing as rapidly as possible, and the
result will be a perfectly unanimous vote
| in favor of the bill.
