An Unfortunate Alarm.
The Dodgeville Chronicle.

AhS DOuSeflle chronicle.
An unfortunate fire alarm occurred
In this city last Saturday evening at 10
O'Clock, which came near costing a
human life. Some penitentiary-deser-
wing joker set fire to al. old store build
ing On Main street, opposite the Wis
consin house, and the alarm being
given the fire companies started to
the scene with their engines, and when
they arrived in front of w. 2. Peters
store and residence, on Diagonal street,
word was received that the fire had
already been extinguished, and the
engines Immediately halted. When
Mrs. Peters saw the engines stop in
front of their building she imagined
the fire must be near there and perhaps
in their own building, and she became
so frightened that she was suddenly
Frustrated, and so severe was the ner-
vous shock that for several days she
lowered between life and death, and
but for the most skillful attention of
Drs. Hughes and Pearce, the ehock
would almost certainly have proven
fatal. We are pleased to learn that at
present she is recovering and is regard
ed by the physicians as out of immedi-
ate danger. This unfortunate occur
renee will not be fittingly closed until
the person whe set the fire is discover
ed and placed in the state prison.

one of the most venomous of the spi-
der species, was discovered in a
bunch of bananas at the City meat

tarantula is usually fatal, and it was
fortunate that this specimen was cor

pie of Orleans, just drop this short
sentence to the MONITOR and let it be
known if you want him, for he is as
good as the best man in the state for

This year we want 80, 900 majority,

and goes round and persuades the ma
jority of the papers to blow his horn,
and the rest fall in when they find
whose horn is bowed the loudest.
Now, we, the people, must blow our
horn as long as that is the method to
get our man. So just shower the pa

Extensive Forest Fire.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, Nov. S.-One Of the
biggest and by all odds the most de-
structive forest fires ever known in this
section is raging six miles above Sui
phur springs and farmers and stock
raisers will be heavy losers, The fire
was started from hunting camp seven
miles from Waterford in Westmoreland
county before noon last Friday. 1t has
been growing steadily ever since, until
at nightfall long stretch on Laurel
ridge was an unbroken mass of flames
ten miles in extent. Back fires are be-
ing set and troops of men are being
hurried to the hills to keep the fire out
of the lowland settlements if possible.
The ridges that are practically ablaze
over the entire length are twenty-five
miles long

steerer, Cook Ocey Kershaw and two
sailors were the only ones saved.
They clung to the main mast as it
went over on the ice. The rest of the
crew, including Capt. Thaxter, were
either crushed to death or drowned.
For forty eight hours thefive men clung
to the mast, and were finally taken
Belgua brought down with her the cook

OUTLAWS DEAD.
Ned Christie Killed by a Posse of
United States Marshals.
A Companion of Christie Wounded and
burned to Death, and n Third Man
Arrested-The Female ChristiSs
Were Allowed to Escape.

TAHLEoUAH, !. T., Nov. 5.-Ned
Christie, the notorious outlaw, who, killed
Dan Naples, a United States official, a
year ago, is dead. He was surrounded
about daylight, Thursday, by sixteen
deputy United States marshals, led by
Dick Brunts and A. G. White.
The presence of the officers was un-
known to Christie until sunrise, when
one Of his companions came out of the
cabin where Christie had fortified him
self. He was ordered to surrender, but
the only reply was shower OF
bullets, none of which, however, took
effect. The fire was returned, and he
was severely wounded. He managed
to get back into the house, however,
and then began an all-day's battle in
which neither side suffered any dam
age. Later in the evening the officers
resorted to dynamite, and succeeded in
blowing down part of the house and
setting fire to the ruins. While the
blaze was at it's fiercest, Christie was
seen to emerge from under the floor
and start to run, but was ordered to
halt. He did not stop and was riddled
with bullets, mutilating him terribly
and knocking him down. He tried to
regain his feet but another volley settled
him.
The officers then turned their atten-
ton to the burning building, and dis
covered Charlie Hare trying to escape.
He was terribly burned, but was able
to run. He was arrested. The body of
Wolf who had been wounded early,
was burned to crisp in the building,
which was entirely consumed.
The females of the Christie family
were allowed to retreat at the begin
ming of the fight. One month ago the
officials tried to make prisoner Of
Christie, but were obliged to abandon
the attempt, not being acquainted with
the location of the place.

soon after the election whether Harri-

law partnership in this city, his for
mer home, and will move back here
about the first of January. The friends
of the encouragement here say that
official life has never been congenial to
him. Furthermore, he feels that his
law practice here will be much more
lucrative than the official position.

A Demand for Small Notes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Sit is stated at
the treasury department that there is
an extraordinary demand just now for
treasury notes of the one and two dol.
lar denomination. The treasury office
is said to be shipping about 5000, 900 per
day in one and two dollar bills to vari'
GUS cities throughout the country. On
November 1 there were $65, ,673, 900 in
one and two dollar notes outstanding,
about 100000 more than last year.
1t has been charged that the unusual
demand for small bills was occasioned
by the necessities of politics, but the
treasury department officials assume
the demand is due to the activity of fall
business, as there is usually a cry
for small bills at this season of the
wear.

committed suicide, were covered deep
with flowers and wreaths, and on top

being inflammatory, and no red flags
were displayed.
