A DASTARD'S DEED.

a we'll nigh successful attempt
was made last night to burn Min
nekahta block. A printer by the
name of Dick Hebb, who has been
in the employ of the Herald, with
out any reason except that he was
crazed with whisky, kindled fire
in the Office of Drs. Jennings and
Shinnick, with excelsior and refuse
material after first having saturated
it and the carpet with coal oil. Mr..
Gilbert who sleeps in the room ad-
joining had left orders with the
night watchman c. E. Rowe, to
be called at o'clock as from that
hour till morning he was to give at
tention to Mr.. Davies who is very
sick. Mr.. Rowe went to wake Mr..
Gilbert and discovered the room
full of smoke. He walked Gilbert
and then proceeded to find where
the fire was and extinguishit. AZ
ter that Mr.. Rowe watched the
premises and soon Hebb camesback
and went into the Herald office
which is in the same building with
DR.. Shinnick's Office. Here Hebb
collected bunch of papers and set
it afire and left the room. He was
at once arrested and lodged in jail.
The grand jury will have an oppor-
tunity to examine his case and
Hebb will undoubtedly languish in
the pen. under the charge OF arson.
Should the fire once get under
headway it would have been impos-
sible to have checked it until the
block was consumed. Over forty
persons sleep in the block and had
not the fire been discovered loss OF
life may have attended the coufla-
grafton.

1'HE INDIAN SCARE

A telegram from Hot Springs to tue
Sioux City Journal, of the 22nd, is Ii.
able to do much injury to our city and
country surrounding us. It states
that there is a band of Indians in the
immediate neighborhood, who are
waiting the coming Of the Mesa,ah to
deliver the springs over to them, and
that tho citizens are arm,ng them
selves. We have taken particular
pains to inquire into the matter and as
we learn there are no Indians in this
vicinity, and there is no organized
effort OF the citizens to arm them
selves.
There may be some few who are in
dividually armine themselves, ON
their own account, but neither the
mayor or the city sheriff has called
upon the citizens to arm. The
only Indians known to be in this
vicinity are two old bucks, who were
brought up on an order of the court,
and who were worse scared than any
of the citizens. The STAR has refrained
from publishing any Of the wild ru-
mors that ill up the eastern papers,
because we did notwish to excite our
people, or be the means of circulating
baselcss rumOrs.
There IS no denying the fact that
the Indians are excited and that the
troops are moving around through the
lower part of the country, hut the
nearest troops we have heard of were
stationed at Oelrichs, and they have
moved down towards the agency.
kilograms such as appeared in the
Journal have atendency to confirm
the eastern idea that Hot Springs is in
the heart Of the Indian country, and
the citizens liable, at any time, to be
massacred.
The damage that such reports do to
a country are incalculable, and do
much to keep prospective settlers out
of the country. A dispatch of that
nature will he copied in all the east
ern papers, and those of us who have
friends and relatives living in the east
know what kind of ideas they have
concerning tbs part Of the country, and
how easily they are lead to believe the
wild rumors Of and Indian scare. The
eastern papers are just coming money
with their wild news, from the west,
but we don see the use of our own
citizens trying to excite themselves by
haseless rumors. Governor Mellette
telcgraphs that upon investigation he
finds that all reports of outbreak
in South Dakota are groundless. The
course taken by the STAR was decided
upon after mature deliberation, and
the later reports confirm the opinion
that there will be no serious outbreak

In a late issue Of the Sturgis Ad-
vertiser, Bob. Crow, in speaking of the
pol,tics of Fall River county used the
the following language: "How poll
tics do change in localities. In Fall
River county last year the defeat OF
the republican nominee for the leg's.
laturc was charged up to DIR. Stewart
by the local polit,cans-and Godard'
democrat elected. This'year the can
didate ON the republican ticket was
supported by the Stewart faction, and
the other fellows thought their op-
portunity was at hand, and they ap-
plied the knife with telling effect
and elected the democrat that they
fought last year"
Noticing the item, DIR. Stewart
wrote Bob. letter in which he says;
"In the above YOU have done the good
republicans Of Fall river county and
myself a great injustice. The sans
parties who defeated Mr.. Hanna, the
republican nominee, one year ago de-'
feated Mr.. Benedict this year. Miriam,
ma had no warmer supporter last year
than myself. Stewart has no faet'oa g
and he is only an humble member Of
the straight republican party and
Wears no collar"

Scholfeld says he don't have to
defend himself. Poor, benighted
old man, you'll either have to de-
fend yourself or YOU won't be de-
Tended. There is no man either in
this county or Custer that approves
your silly, senselcss position. You
have doubled your track too many
times. If you had an atom of sense
you would never have been in the
position you are now in.

In Need of Aid.


For about week a sound, healthy
looking individual with his wife and
child have been lying about the camp
yards on East Commerce street, de-
pending upon charitable neighbors
for food. The man, who does and is
willing to do hard work, appears to be
slightly demented, the people say,
and Is subject to the severest kind of
epileptic fits every now and then,
which makes it impossible for him to
hold a steady job, although he has
tried dozens of different ones and
works hard while he can work.
They possess nothing beyond the
clothes that they wear and little
bedding, he claiming that they were
burnt out near Sayers Postoffice.
They have one bright little boy and
the woman is on the very verge oil
motherhood.
The people In the neighborhood are
anxious for the county authorities to
take hold of the case and care for the
family, as the disease of the man
makes his presence exceedingly uu.
pleasant for private families to take
them into their homes. The same
parties were found near the Arkansas
Pass depot a few days ago. 1t is the
duty of the county authorities to care
| tor them.

MIDNIGHT VILLAINS.
Street Car Drivers Assaulted and
Robbed.

Street Car Drivers Assaulted and
Robbed.
The other night Pedro Lohoja, a
driver on the Flores street line, COL
lected the fares of some negro passen.
gers and drove into the stable. While
ON his trip into town and nearing the
bridge near TESTS store, the negroes
entered the car and one demanded
| twenty cents change, claiming to
have given him twenty-five cent
piece. Pedro denied this and refused
to give the change demanded, where.
upon they pitched on to the lone
him up pretty severely.
Two or three nights before this Mic
Watkins took out on the red line o
special car full of people after mid
night and collected his fares. While
standing on the platform, which was
pretty we'll crowded, some person
gently put his arm around MICS
waist and before he could utter q cry
of help, threw him off the car and
robbed him of the money on his per-
son. 1t was done SO quick that the
passengers in the car, among whom
was the robbed mans brother, did
not become aware of the trouble.
When Watkins came to, he found
himself alone, his car and
money gone and he himself
so seriously injured that he is COM
PEELED to lay off few days.
The first of the three recent assaults
on street car drivers was made upon
Chas. Vail, who drives on the yellow
line. several days previous to the
robbery just mentioned. While TAX
ing his car into the city, a negro
boarded it, and when the driver
wanted to collect, he refused to pay
because he worked for the company,
he said. The driver demanded the
fare as employees are only permitted
to ride free during working hours.
The negro still refusing to pay was
elected from the car. When Vail on
his home trip reached dark, shady
spot near the stable he saw the out
lines of person and just then a rock
struck him in the face that knocked
him silly for several minutes.
The drivers say that they know the
negroes when they see them and are
fully prepared for them in the future.

What an Old Gentleman Saw on the
Bridge

This afternoon at 1870 O'Clock Mr..
Levi Patterson was passing on Com
MERGE street bridge and his attention
was called to two arms held up from
the river. He judges they were
those of boy of about ten
or twelve years of age. He
says he saw them plainly, as he
thought some boy was in swimming,
and stopped to see. The boy did not
again rise to the surface and he then
gave alarm, and soon crowd collected,
and boat was put out to search the
river. A boys hat further up the
bank was found and two little boys,
one son of Mr.. e. P. Koch, was
found, who said he and two other
boys were under the bridge, when the
larger one reached out to catch a
crayfish and fell in.
