A Case of Incendiarism which Might
Have Had Terrible Results.


SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Dec 22-Deyelop-
ments from the fire of Friday have
caused sensation. The home of E. Lar
son, hardware dealer, located in the
most densely built residence portion of the
city, burned to the ground. During the
fire the firemen began tearing down a
shed near by for the purpose of preventing
the spread of the flames When they had
removed the roof they found thirteen kegs
of blasting powder and severals barrels of
gasoline
Cool Grit of the Firemen.
When this discovery was made the
crowd scattered; but although sparks
were falling about rapidly, the firemen
courageously removed every bit of the ex
plosive material safely, and an awful dis
aster was averted- Larson was at once
arrested, and will be given the full extent
OF the law. Several years ago the store
caught fire. After it was eytinguished a
large quantity of powder, gasoline and
Kerosene were found stored under the
sidewalk where the men were working to
save the property.

the street yesterday afternoon. despite the
cold wave which was floating over the city.
The cause of the crowded streets was made
apparent at few minutes before o'clock
when two small boys were discovered
struggling along the streets with wheel
barrow, which was soon to become mat
ter of interest. At precisely O'Clock the
drum corps left the corner OF Front and
Main streets, closely followed by Alderman

dashboard Of the wheelbarrow, which was
handled BY L. o. Leonard, managing editor
OF the Review, in the most approved style.
The drum corps struck up the
"kogue's March, which could be dimly
heard above the wild cries Of the enthusi-

unity to the chief actors in the event, fol-
lowed by large crowd. Mr.. Leonard i'm

smile Of democratic satisfaction and car

Matters on Upper Cabin.

z. Is. kinnisOn and Mr.. NandOver
were down from upper Cabin creek
Thursday last on business before the
U. ;. commissioner and during the
day dropped in for a chat with The
CHIEFTAIS folks Their neighborhoOd
has suffered not a little during the
last few years from the depredaiiOns
OF stock thieves, but in the past few
months the moral atmosphere has
been greatly purified. Recently two
young men have returned from the
Penitentiary and in their demeanor
are decidedly improved One of them,
in speaking Of his experience. stated
that he could not complain of mis-
treatment, but the confinement and
subserviency TO the will Of others was
awful and nothing could induce him TO
testify against the worst enemy he
had in the world, and thus cOnsign
him TO prison. Dir. kinnisOn ex-
pressed himself as of the opinion that
the two year sentence recentiT PASSED
by Judge Parker upon young Rogers
was excessive for the first offence, and
should be reduced. This view, he said,
was also held by a majority of the
neighboThOOd. the feeling being that
the young man was influenced in his
crime by others older in years and in
wickedness. A petition for elemency
would be generally signed, the gentle
men stated.
