Destruction of the Indiana womans
Prison at Indianapolis

The State woman,s Prison and Reform
school at indianapolis, was burned on the
1st The building was entirely destroyed
The fire was discovered few minutes after
supper in the laundry of the reform depart
ment
Julia Kerr, one of the trusty inmates, and
the day watchman discovered smoke Issuing
from the room almost simultaneously, one
from the inside of the Institution and ths
other from without The Kerr girl hastily
informed one Of the guards that the iannars
room was ablaze, and the guard ran to the
engine room, where he summoned the aid o.
the engineer and day watchman. These, WIZ
the fire apparatus at hand, succeeded, as tneS
supposed, in Quenching the FIRE, when ths
hose broke. Before It could be mended ths
flames burst out again and rapidly spread.
The prison department WAS the last togo, and
the noise of the crashing Of the iron eoops II
the support. gave way Was heard for hall
mile from the burning building.
The Institution was situated in the center oi
a fye-aere field in the east side Of the city
1t wa. a model prison and one Of the mos'
noted in the country. When the fire Vas mrs.
noticed, Miss Kelly, the superintendent OF th'
inmates of the reform department, was in tht
yard. These were taken back when the nrS
was supposed TO be under perfect control
Upon the discovery that the flames had com
municated TO the stairway and up to the rooi
the girls were once more ordered to the yard
and were guarded by half dozen attendants
In this portion OF the Institution there wer'

the most trouble WAS anticipated by th'
officers. Miss Kelly went into the hallway
and with a loud tone called the attention O
the prisoners that the building was on fire
Il am going to unlock these doors, but wan
you to promise you will stand by me and no
attempt to escape" The women with ont
voice promised this and the doors were nun;
open. The ffty-three prisoners hastily fol
lowed Miss Kelly through the Railways snd t'
the grounds. Here they were placed Il
charge OF the attendants.
OF the inmates of this department there an
eight who have been sentenced for life and
half dozen or more for long terms, Otbeu
were for minor charges, for grand and pctt
larceny and several for abduction. So far Z
known not one Of the prisoners made an at

Work for the Land Court.

Chief Justice Reed Of the Private
Land Claims Court says, in communication
10 the attorney genera, that while the court
IS given Jurisdiction in the states Of Colorado,
Wyoming and Nevada, and the territories Of
Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, his infOrma-
ton is that there will probably no cases arise
in either Wyoming or Utah, and 1t Is doubtful
whether they will arise in Nevada. There
are, he says, limited number OF claims as
serted under the grants IN Colorado, but the
great mass Of business, perhaps 90 per cent
OF all, win arise IN Arizona and New Mexico.
1t Is stated that 30,Ooo,o 600 acres are claimed
under Mexican grants in New Mexico alone.

More Natural Gas In Utah.

Another strike of natural gas has
has been made near Salt Lake City. This
time It is in a well near the hot springs, three
miles from the center Of the city, and nine
miles closer in than the big wells on the lake
shore. The strike was made in a well which
was driven by the Salt Lake Improvement and
Natural Gas Company at depth of l7O feet
frt m the surface. While the flow is not as
strong as that of the wells on the lake shore, It
IS sufficient to supply the fuel for an sO-horse
power boiler and is encouraging in that it
shows that natural gas exists over an exten-
sive area contiguous to the city.
