More than one custerite experience

More than one Custerite experienced
Sinking sensation" when an alarm Of
fire called them to the streets about
three o'clock last Tuesday afternoon
AT that hour a dense clond Of black
smoke rose from the rear of Garlock's
store and swept down Custer Avenue
shutting out the light ofthe sun. Those
who saw IL took it for granted that the
buildings in that neighborhood were on
fire, and hundred or more persons
rushed to the scene expecting a repeti-
ton Of the confagration Of Christmas
morning. However, a glance at the
situation somewhat relieved their ap-
prehensions. George Hitch and Char
lie Manahan had set up a stove in the
alley and were heating some tar which
they had expected to spread on the tin
roof OF Mr.. Garlock's store building.
While tho boys were on the roof the tar
caught fire and exploded, scattering
itself in all directions and sending up
cloud of smoke that would have done
credit to big blaze. The fire chat was
thrown about by the explosion was
quickly extinguished, and when the
crowd arrived there was nothing to be
seen except little smoke. 4 FIRE in
that locality Tuesday afternoon would
have resulted more disastrously than
did the one Of few months ago. A
hard wind was blowing from the south.

portion of the town would have been
sacrificed to the flames. The CHRONICLE

We had urged the necessity Of securing
some means of protection from fire until
the majority of our readers were weary
OF the subject. But once again we
venture to sound a note Of warning.
The dreaded clang Of the fire bell is
liable to arouse us any day, and when
It does we will find ourselves as power
less as we have been in the past. The
of Custer whose earthly pos
sessions are here can never feel sense of
security until the town Is provided with

lcter.

Miners and Prospectors Meet again.

The attendance at the adjourned
meeting Of miners and prospect3rs hello
at the court house last Saturday night
was hardly as good as 1t was the week
previous. 1t was probably due to the
fact that only committee reports were
to be heard. and it was not expected
that any important action would be
taken at that time. The meeting was
called to order by Chairman McFadden,
and A. T. Feay was elected secretary.
The report of the committee appointed
to examine the pyrltic ores Of the dis
trict was asked for, and G. w. Robbins,
chairman Of the committee, responded.
He stated that he and his associates had
srent the week visiting nuaAber of
mines and securing samples OF the ore.
The ore had been submitted for test to
Assayer Porter and to the & ID.
smelter at Deadwood, bat the rssniis OF
the tests had not yet been returned. 1t
was therefore impossible to make sat
isfactory report that evening and the
committee requested an extension of
time. 1t was unanimously voted that
the committee be given another weeks
time in which to complete its report.
A. I. Feay, chairman Of the committee
appoiAted to prepare plan of organiza-
tion, reported that the committee had
draughted set of rules or laws which
ii wished to submit to the meeting. 1t
was moved and carried that the report
be read and discussed one section at
time. This was done and a number of
changes suggested were noted by the
secretary. The committee was instruct
ed to make such changes in the rules
and report again one week later. The
meeting then adjourned until Saturday
evening, April Sth.

closed up two or three dives where .

part Of the officers is approved by ths
father. and mothers of Custer. and in.
deed by all citizens who have the good
of the community at heart. Devotion
to this vice Is dsmoralizing enough in any
case, but when boy grows mp to it from

God speed any effort that may BE- made
to stay their course.

Two BUSTERS Captured

A special telegram from Hot Springs
to the Omaha Bee gives the following
thrilling account of the capture of two
cattle thieves by Sheriff Blakey, of Fall
River county, and Detective Sam Moses:
"Lentinzer and Clark, two tough char
acters broke into house near Edge.
mont, ransacked the contents, stole what
they wanted and skipped. Sheriff
Blakey and Deputy Moses were sent for
and in searching for them got trails OF
two notorious characters, w. II. Aughey
alias Spokane and Jim Clayton. The
officers thinking that the four would
soon meet at some point, followed Aug.
hey and Clayton, hoping to capture the
two men they were after. Friday night
Aughey and Clayton camped west e
Edgenont several miles. ThdR deal
and deputy seereted themsel 1naeiad
observed Aughey and Clayton ro,nd up
a few head of cattle and kiini"o lat

T1.sisIs with commanas ,a sS;Sr
their hands. CLAYTON complied, but
Aughey dropped behind the dead steer
and pulling Sharps rife, began shoot
ing at Sheriff Blakey. Shots were
rapidly exchanged and Aughey was
winged. The men were then taken into
custody. AUghey was shot through the
left hand and right arm and was brought
to this city and lodged in Jail. Clayton
was once in Jail here for larceny and
was arrested for the same
offense but escaped. They are hard
citizens and doubtless members Of a
gang of cattle rustlers that have been
working the country west Of Edgemont
and Wyoming. Their examination
will take place Thursday"

WORTHWHILE, June l6-The village fire
department scored q big success i'll subduing
a hot fire this afternoon, which started IN
the large wooden building on Portland
street, occupied by V. w. Jcwett, rs
blacksmith, wood working and machine
shop. The flames were confined by hard
work with two engines nud hydrant stream
to the upper floor, attic and roof OF the
building The building stands next to the
Burlington and Lamolle depot, and is i'm
mediately joined on the south by ut-build
ings reaching to the large wooden structure,
formerly the Lamoille bakery. This is the
first test OF any extent that Morrisville's
hydrant supply has had, and the success of
its application and the ample supply OF
wntsr in the reservoir after the fire was ex-
tinguished, give increased confidence in the
villages means OF fighting fire.

much art may be compressed into very
small figure. And when you stop to think
there are thousands upon thousands of
pieces and paintings here you may be able
to form something of an idea of the i'm
mensity of the whole.
We go to the Art palace by way of the
avenue of states, near the Fifty-seventh
street entrance to the grounds We enter
n large r0om forty feet or more square.
Over he door is the word Belgium" and
the walls are hung with magnificent pic
lures. Beyond we see a rotunda, and be-
You'd that another room. If we spend a
half hour in the gallery which we have
first entered we shall have none too much
time for a good look at all the pictures
which it contains. We turn then to the
right, and find ourselves in a smaller
room, but filed with things which delight
the eye. Soon we forget that we are in
Chicago, the Worlds fair, the Belgium
section of the Art palace. We forget our
selves and think only of the scenes on the
walls. We wander from room to room,
occasionally sitting down for more leisure
ly enjoyment of some huge canvas We
are amazed as we continue travelling, at
the magnitude of the thing. No matter in
how many galleries we go, another gallery,
promising new delights, always opens be-
yond.
Finally hunger and bodily fatigue re-
mind us that there are limits to human
strength. We also think OF the fight of
time, aud wonder what the hour is. When
we consult our watch we are surprised to
learn we have been three hours here, and
n minutes look about for our bearings
shows us we have not been in all the gal
leries, either, and we know very well not
one we have been in has received the care
full attention which it deserves. We say
that when we come to the Art palace again
we shall return to see some of those pict-
ures which most impressed us. Still, as
we leave the building and start to lunch
con somewhere we feel encouraged. In
three hours We have made a verNfair start
toward seeing the art show, and in three
or four hours more we shall be able to fin
ish it up. Whereat some member of our
party laughs at us.
