THE HAYMARKET ON FIRE.

Thousand Dollars.

Causes a Loss of About Seventy Five
Thousand Dollars.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The Haymarket the
alter, on Madison street in the rear of
Halstead, on the west side, one of the
handsomest in the city, is on fire and
seems doomed to destruction. 1t is
bad day for a fire as the temperature is
below zero, with sharp wind from the
west, causing the fire apparatus to iceup
rapidly. The theater was named from
Haymarket square, the scene Of the ia
nous anarchist riot, near which it is sit
uated. 1t is managed by VIII J. Davis,
who also manages the Columbia theater.
The fire was finally extinguished after
the interior was drenched and the foyer
destroyed, entailing loss to the thea
ter and the stores in front and the Of
fees above, mostly by water, Of SIS 900.

U. S. COURT AT BOISE.
All the Remaining COeur d'AIene Miners
Contempt Cases Dismissed.

All the Remaining Ceur d'AIene Miners
Contempt Cases Dismissed.
BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 5.-In the United
States district court today all the re-
remaining Ceur d'Alene contempt
cases were dismissed. The cases ran
against IS defendants, and were made
for violation of an injuncnion Of the
court restraining the miners from in
terfering with the Coeur d'Alene mines
at the time of the trouble last year.
A number were found guilty of con-
tempt at the time, and served sentences
in Jail. This disposes of the last pro-
ceedings in this court growing out of
that disturbance.
James H. Wallis, editor cf the Mont
pelier Post, pleaded guilty to an indict-
mint charging him with violation of
the anti-lottery law. He advertised a
scheme for increasing his circulation
in which a sewing machine and some
other prizes were to be distributed to
fortunate subscribers. The plea of
guilty was followed by the imposi-
ton of a nominal fine of 81.
The federal grand jury was impan-
neled today.

scatter, and some of them drifted back
from time to time to the outskirts of
the reservation, Kid himself skipping
into San Carlos, stealing a girl and
getting away in spite Of the watch
that was kept for him.
Kid is not raiding for fun. He is a
fugitive with a price on his head and
will kill rather than take chances of be-
ing caught. He has use for cartridges,
provisions, money and sometimes for
horses, and he takes what he wants. If
the man who has what he wants is
likely to object giving it up Kid will
kill him without doubt.
Not long ago Kid was on the Animas
ranch in the southern part of New
Mexico. He was getting away from
troops at the time. Dean Duke, Super
intendennt of the Diamond A outfit,
drove fine team right past Kids am
bush but was not molested. An hour
later one Of Duke'e cowboys, who was
hunting deer, had the bad luck to get
into Kids way in such manner that
Kid could not avoid meeting him and
shot the cowboy.
Kid steals Diamond A horses when he
wants mount, but the horses generally
come home again after a while, and
usually pretty well worn out. Half
the saddle horses on this ranch have
been straddled by Kid at one time or
another. One horse, famous now on
the ranch, Old George, lame and sore
backed, trudged $50 miles homeward,
and neighed one night at the corral
gate for admission. Kid stole a lot of
horses from the lower ranch a few
weeks ago, and troops of cavalry from
Fort Bayard has gone down that way
to look for him. The last time the
troopers saw Kid down on the Animas
he was up among some rocks where
they could not get at him, and he put his
thumb up to his nose and wiggled his
fingers. The language with which he
accompanied this gesture was more
forcible than polite.

Peculiar Sequel to the Acquittal of an
Alleged Female Forger.
MEMPHIS, Dec. 3.-Some months ago
Miss Mary Clancy, local agent for the
Wilcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Com
pany, was charged with enlightenment
and forgery. The first charge fell fat
to the ground because the corporation
had no existence under the laws of Ten
nessee. The forgery charge has been
on trial for several days. Miss Clancy
admitted that she forged names to con
tracts for the purchase Of machines,
but pleaded not guilty to the general
charge. The trial lasted three days,
and resulted in an acquittal. The court
room was thronged with women and the
jury was embraced by them after bring
ing in the verdict.
Miss Clancy has been confined in jail
three months awaiting trial. 1t was a
clear case of guilt and clear case of
acquittal on account of the sex of the
defendant

STILL BELIEVERS IN wTcHcaAFT.
Ignorant Community in Ohio Hounds an
Unfortunate Man.

ALLIANCE, Ohio, Dec. The residents
of Harris Corners, farming community
ten miles east of this city, are all agog
oven the doings of witch which they
llaim lives in their midst. Several DAYS
go a young farmer named Howard
hughes dug a well upon a small hill, and
When he had got to what he believed to
DE sufficient depth, much to his sur
orise, no water appeared. He cogitated
Upon the matter, and being a firm be-
ieyer in witches and hobgoblins, con-
;luded that some person of evil powers
lad cast spell upon his land.
Within the limits of this city lives DR..
loft, an octogenarian, who deals in
nerbs and claims supernatural powers.
To this strange old man Hughes repair
ed and hired him to go down to his place
and locate the trouble. Hoff went with
him, and building a fire, threw some of
his powders into it, and while the fires
burned consulted the spirits through a
powwow performance. He told Hughes
that the absence of water in his well
was due to neighbor named Culp, who
was wizard, with a poisonous breath
and an evil eye and that the well would
remain dry until he (Culp) was dead.
Since the old witch doctor revealed this
startling information the Hughes and
a dozen other families who believe in
witchcraft have ceased all intercourse
with CuIp and avoid him as they would
the evil one.
The affair has caused such a stir that
the matter resolved itself into a special
meeting TO be held in the Methodist
church of the village, to which all these
people belong. Rev. J. E. HOLSTER, of
this city, the pastor of the church, pre-
sided, and called upon Hughes and his
followers to disavow the wi, chcraft and
treat Culp as brother or leave the
church. This they refused to do, and a
church trial will result.
Last spring Miss Sadie Loop, member
of the church, was expelled at a church
trial for asserting that Culp was wiz
ard and it was thought at the time that
the ridiculous superstition had been
stamped out.

Owns Big Indiana Tract.
MUNIcE, Dec. A very elderly lady,
giving her name as Mrs. A. Davidson,

hotel here, where she has kept her
presence a secret for several days.
She registered from Portland, Oregon,

Unprecedented Reign of a Gang of
Outlaws.
UNABLE TO CHECK THEM
For Several Weeks People in Isolated
Places Have Been Subjected to
Various Outrages.

WOOSTER, Ohio, Dec. 3.-For weeks
past this section of the county has been
the scene of a series of crimes that for
boldness and villainy surpass anything
the community has ever experienced
Almost daily comes the report of
burglary or robbery somewhere in the
vicinity and neighboring villages and
houses broken into and depredations of
various kinds committed. The princi-
pal part Of the work, it seems, is being
done by gang of five men, who display
a perfect familiarity with the
country and the people. These
fellows operate in the country exclu-
sively and select for their victims sup
posedly wealthy farmers, who, in most
cases, live in our of the way or isolated
places. During the last few weeks
score or more robberes have been per-
petrated by this gang, and in many in
stances their victims have been sub
jected to the most brutal torture to
compel them to yield up their money
and vaiuables.
A few nights ago they visited Peter
Painter, 4 wealthy stockman near
Holmesville, and, after breaking in the
door with log, bound the members OF
the family and leisurely ransacked the
house, securing $500 in money, two
watches and other valuables, and short
ly afterward the home of Christian Mel
linger, an aged and wealthy farmer
west of this city, was entered in like
manner. Here they got but $50, but
nearly killed Mr.. Mellinger by choking
him because he would not tell them
where they could find more.
Robert Ewing's house in Chester
township was visited Thursday night.
Their visit aroused Ewing, who drove
them away with bullets, but not before
being shot twice by the villains, from
the effects of which he may die Num-
berless other crimes have been com
mitted. In every case the rascals have
made their escape, Fhe officers being I'M
Public feeling is wrought to high ten
sion, which BODIES i'll to the villains when
taken. So great has the fear of raid
by these villains become that there is
scarcely farm house in all the county
that does not at present resemble
small arsenal, being supplied with
weapons of defense of all sorts.
ToUGHs MAKING NIGHTLY RAIDS.
FINDLAY, Ohio, Nov. 24.-Citizens of
the smaller towns and villages of this
section OF northwestern Ohio are being
terrorized by the depredations of gangs
of toughs who are nightly making burg
larious raids and committing other
crimes in the rural districts. The cpl
demic of villainy indirectly results from
the long continued depression in bust
ness and manufacturing circles, and
the industrial cities of Toledo, Findlay,
Lima and THIN are supplying their
quota of marauders. Having been
driven TO hard lines the toughs and
skin gamblers of these places are or
ganizing themselves into bands and
making excursions into the neigh
boring villages, where the small jewel
ry, hardware and DRY goods stores,
being unprotected by police watchful-
ness, fall easy prey to the thieves.
