The Humboldt deduction Works
were burped to tho ground Mt an
early hour this morning and nothing
remains to mark their site but q pile
Of smoking ruins. The alarm WIS
turned in ut $50 a. 81. when tho whole
town was aroused by the mill and
yard engine whistles and the changing
OF tho fire bell. The firelnen we're on

possible, but the fire had made such
Roadway that it was impossible to do
anything towards saving the mill, and
thoir Efforts ere directed 10 prevent
buildings in tho vicinity from 'gniting
from tho sparks and embers which
were flying in every direction. In
decd, though there was scarcely any
wind, pieces OF burning shingles wore
curried rs far as Bridge street; but
were extinguished before doing any
damage.
The assny Office. a short distance
from the mill, soon caught fire, and
within threc-quarters OF an hour from
tho time tho fire WINS first discovered
both buildings were burned to tho
ground. =
The fro is supposed TO have origi-
mated in some mn from q spark

tcndent John Ross made the rounds
Of tho mill about ten minutes before
tho discovery Of the fire, when every
thing vas running all right, and he
had just stopped ncross to the assay
Office when he noticed tho flames
breaking through tho building. Tho
mill was nh old structure and as dry

rapidly that nothing could DO saved.
About 5000 worth Of quicksilver,

Those he killed were John Miller, his
wife, his grown daughter Lou, Dr. Stew

whose name is not known. The only

Joplin was the cause of Miss Miller's

Several young lady students at Buchtel
college at Akron. o., were enjoying

part of the entertainment being furnish
ed by eight of them, who wore masks
and loose, flowing garments, with high
hats, also covered with cotton. In some
way the hat of Miss Lulu Stagmeyer of
Attica, o., caught fire, and the flames
quickly leaped to the others. Before aid
could be summoned Miss Stagmeyer and
Miss May Stoves of Clifton Springs, N.
Y, were so badly burned that they died
early Sunday morning. Two others it is
feared cannot survive.
Word has been received at Denver from
Rapid City, Oak, that rancher just ar
rived reports that command of cavalry
have been attacked by Indians and two
officers and 80 men killed. The number
of Indians killed is not known, but they
were put to rout with heavy losses. 1t
is not known whose command it was,
but is supposed to be that of Major Tup-
per of the 9th cavalry and his three troops
of 40. The troops at Rapid CITY have
gone to their assistance. A special from
Pine Ridge Agency, S. D., says: the
Indians are non-communicative an the
subject of the death of Sitting Bull. They
show no excitement but are closely
watched. General Brooke has received
orders from General Miles to defer his
march to the Bad Lands for the present,
Sitting Bull, the Sioux chief, has been
killed by United States troops. The In
dian police started out Monday morning
from Standing Rock agency, S. d., to ar
rest Sitting Bull, having understood that
he proposed starting for the Bad Lands at
once. The police were followed by a
troop of cavalry under Capt. Souchet and
infantry under Col. Drum. When the
police reached Sitting Bulls camp on the
Grand river, about 40 miles from Stand
ing Rock, they found arrangements being
made for departure. The cavalry had
not vet reached the camp, when the police
arrested Bull and started back with him
His followers quickly rallied to his rescue
and tried to retake him. In the melee tina,
ensued, the willy old chief was killed, and
five of the best of the Indian police were
also killed. One of the police jumped OF
one of Sitting Bulls horses and rode
back to the cavalry and infantry, telling
them to hurry up to the support of the pc
lice. Sitting Bulls son was also killed il
the fight which ensued when the troops
caught up with the Indians.
