SALTWATER, Mimi, April 29.-At 9
o'clock this evening the fire bell began
ringing, and in less than one minute it
was sounded throughout the city that
the state prison was on fire. The fire
department was Immediately at the
scene, but it was discovered that the
prison proper was not on fire; but
that the Minnesota Thresher COM
pany's paint shop was a mass of
ruins. The building was of wood
and was quickly destroyed by the
flames. Several streams were put on,
but apparently did no good, excepting
to check the flames from spreading to
the cell room. AT one time the entire
lot of buildings seemed to be doomed.
and the signal whistle was given for
Company K to come as rapidly as posSi
bic.
In Less Than Five Minutes
after the whistle blew, the company,
fifty strong, was at the prison prepared
for an emergency. Their services were
not necessary, however, and they re-
turned to the armory. The wind vas
blowing hard from the northwest, and
everybody expected to witness the
destruction of the entire institution.
The allied efforts of the fire department.
and citizens was all that saved the cell
room. The flames drifted directly to
| the cell room, and several streams were
kept playing on the building in order to
keep the stone walls cool and the fire
from catching in the roof. The
paint shop was three stories high,
and was filled with threshing machines
and engines. The exact number of ma
chimes in the building could not be as
certained, but manager FOgle stated
tors and eight engines. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from an eXplo-
sion of benzine Or oil, and several resi-
dents living close to the prison say that
they heard the report of the explosion,
and that the building was
EnveIoped in Flames
in very few seconds. The wooden
fence along the southwest side was de-
stroyed, and also one of the guard
houses. Manager Fogle, when asked
in regard to the loss, replied that it
would be impossible for him to give an
estimate, but it will certainly reach
above $50. 900. The building was owned
by the state and was insured, but the
amount of the insurance could not be
had. The fire is not all eXtinguiShed,
but the flames are under control, and
no further danger is expected. The
prisoners in their cells were very much
frightened, and could be seen peering
through the bars. The binding twine
factory and cupola of the solitary were
ignited by the flames, but no material
damage was done TO these buildings.

Pratt. Tenth cavalry, superintendent of
the Carlisle Iudian school. recently
received and forwarded to Secretary
Proctor an interesting letter from the
old chief Two Strikes" who figured
very prominently in last winters
campaign in South Dakota. The letter
is dated April II, at Rosebud agency,
and is as follows, having been dictated
to an army officer:
Friend Captain: You wrote me about the
Indians here making more trouble. There
is no intention here of having trouble. II
we were going to make trouble, why would
great father, as we are now doing? We see
that this is very good chance for our young
men TO do something for themselves and we
let them enlist There was young man
from Standing Rock came here and asked
me the same question as you did and told
him that we have no thought Of making any
more trouble; that we had one trouble ct
wounded Knee: that we ourselves
did not have anything to do with it, but
that 1t gave US lesson. We did not want TO
hight in the first place. but somebody called
for troops. All we think about now is to
farm. received a letter about the same mat
ter from the Lower Brule agency. and l told
them that we were not going to make any
more trouble, and that they must not pay at
tention to such talk. This talk gives me
much trouble, and | did not like it. I do
not want to tell my officer friends any lie. for
know they are here from the great father.

STOP AND THINK.

The Wilmington Star says that an
unusually large business has been
done in Eastern North Carolina
the past fall and this winter in the
purchase of horses and mules for use
on our farms. In some localities the
purchases were the heaviest ever
known This fact is not so remark
able as the other fact that nearly all
these animals are brought In from
other States, and that the money paid
for them, very large sum In the
aggregate. goes out to other States.
We saw statement In some OF our
Eastern exchanges some time ago
that one carload of these horses and
mules were North Carolina stock. rails
edin the Western part of this State,
but onI y one. 1t is very singular
considering the demand there is in
Eastern North Carolina and further
South for horses and mules, that so
little attention is given to the raising
of them, and that our planters are
almost entirely dependent upon the
pastures of other States for their sup
plies when our own State is SO well
adapted to stock raising, as has been
fully demonstrated by those who
have engaged in 1t. We can grow
grass. clover. corn and oats as well
"s Virginia, Tennessee or Kentucky,
and yet, we 60 on year after year buy
ing thousands ofhorses and mules
from those States, which should be
raised on our own lands and the
money paid for which could and
. should be kent at home.
