One Of the Eomcstake Group at Dead
wool, 8. D., Is Burning
FieIcely.
A Desperate Attempt to Extinguish
the Flames Before They Spread to
Other Mines.
Unless 1t Is Extinguished Thickly
Settled Portion OF the Town Will
Cave LIN.

DEADwooD. s. D.. April 1.-THE un-
derground workings of the Deadwood
mine, one of the great Honestake
group, is on fire and burning fiercely.
The fire started in the 2UO-foot level and
it is feared is eating it's way to the
workings of the other mines, which are
all connected. 1t is impossible to food
the mine as the fire is on the 200-foot
level and there are four levels below
reaching to depth of 400 feet. All the
mines and mills of the group are shut
down and LOCO men are idle. If the
fire eats away the timber supports in
the immense slopes or chambers whole
acres OF the earth's surface, parts or
which is densely settled, will cave in,
entailing
Large Loss Of Property.
The management is doing all in its
power to extinguish the flames but they
have terrible fight. Two or three
hundred men are at work but they
make little headway, being driven back
by gas and smoke. Unless they can
extinguish it by water. which looks
doubtful and in fact impossible, the
whole lot must go. Dense volumes of
smoke and gas are pouring from the big
shaft. People who are living over this
volcano are prepared to move. Nobody
has been injured, though large num-
Der have been overcome by gas aud
smoke.

GUILTY, YET NOT GUILTY.
An English Verdict That Was an
AcqulttaI.

Acqaittal.
LONDON, April 7.-Ben Tillett, the
well known labor leader, who was
charged ut the Old Bailey with having
melted strikers to riot in Bristol in De-
cember last, was found guilty by the
jary sitting in the case. The jury added
however, that though the prisoner was
guilty of having used words calculated
to cause riot, it was believed the words
We're spoken on the spur of the moment
and We're not intended to provoke q
breach of the peace.
Justice Cave said that the rider to the
verdict was tantamount to the declara-
tion that the prisoner was not guilty as
charged. He therefore considered it his
duty to discharge the prisoner.
