BostwicR's Mill Burned.

J. II. Bostwick's saw mill, located on
French creek, about six miles east OF
this city, was totally destroyed by fire
at an early hour on Sunday morning
last. A CHRoNIcLE reporter visited the
scene of the fire on Sunday evening
where he found the mill, and the lum.
Der piles near il. in s~mouldering ruins
the fire having not yet been entirely
distinguished.
The loss upon the mill and machinery
pertaining thereto is practically com
plete, as there was nothing left of value
save the boiler, and that was seriously
damaged. The loss Of lumber was large,
there being nc less than IS, 1000 feet Of
clear dry lumber, and about So geo feet
OF common lumber destroyed. The
origin Of the fire is not definitely
known, but all circumstances point most
conclusively to the fact that it was the
worl Of an incendiary. The fire was
first discovered by one Of the mill EN-.
ployes residing rear by about 3 o'clock
in the morning, when it had gained but
little Roadway, but as the mill had not
been in operation during the preceding
week, there were but few of the EN-
ployes there, and the force and facilities
for putting out the fire proved made.
quate.
The fact that the mill had been idle
for Il week previous to the burning
during which time there was no fire
kept or required, is regarded as very
strong evidence of it having been set on
fire. The loss, which is placed at about
$4,000, will be q serious blow to Mr.,
B~ostwick, there being no insurance
upon the property, and will no doub,
cause HIM considerable inconvenience
in re establishing the plant, which in.
wolves the outlay of more money than
may be readily procured at this iunctnre
when that indispensable article is so
extremely difficult to obtain. Mr.. Bost-
wick's friends will hear of his loss with
regret and will hope that he may be
successful in replacing the burned plant,
with a new one, whereby he may re-
cover all, and more than the value of
the property destroyed by the devour-
ing flames.

A II Murder,

The murder of Mrs. l.. p. Stone at her
home in Deadwood, between the hours
CT 4 and 8 o'clock on Saturday morning
last, surpassed in its dastardly and
fendixh character the most brutal
criminal act known to the history of the
Black Hills. The victim to the knife OF
the unknown assassin was r highly
respected lady, who had long resided in
Deadwood, where she had been engaged
for years in conducting a restaurant
and without a shadow of provocation,
go far as known, the vile assassin, sup
posedly for the purpose of robbery,
entered her bed chamber, and while
she was asleep and unconscious Of
pending danger, delivered the deadly
blow which blotted out her life, and
brought unspeakable sorrow upon a
devoted husband and an afectionate
daughter, and desolation and distress to
a cheerful and happy home.
Circumstances seem to point tc
Charles Brown, a colored man. who had
formerly been in Mrs. Stones employ
as a cook in the restaurant, as the per.
petrator of the henious crime. as he il
known to have been in the kitchen oI
the restaurant at q late hour drinking
beer with the present negro cook, and
drinking and gambling in certain dis
reputable dives during the greater par
Of the night, ard that he did not leave
for his home in Wildwood until some
time after daylight on the following
morning. 1t is believed that the present
negro cook, Crawford, and a dishwasher
who were both placed under arrest
know much more about the circum
stances connected with the crime thar
they are willing to divulge.
1t was evident from the disordered
condition Of the room in which thC
murder vas committed that the mur
derer was bent on plumber. A golt
watch, and jewelry of some value il
known to have been taken. AS soon a,
the circumstances connected with tn,
crime became known to the authorities
officers left in pursuit of the suspected
parties, Brown, and a boy named
Walker, who came with Brown, ant
also returned with him to Wildwood
The officers returned with their prison
ere at about IL o'clock, and were met by
a large number Of the citizens, many o
whom were greatly excited over Tho
murder, and were clamorous for the
hanging Of the prisoners without wait
ing for the formility of a trial, but by
the resolution and firmness displayed
by the officers, aided by the p~resenta
ton of ugly looking revolyers, which
confronted the mob at full cock, they
wsre enabled to land their prisoners il
Jail. where they await a fair and i'm
partial trial upon the grave charge pre-
ferred against them. The eyidenc,
against the suspected parties was no
sufficiently conclusive to justify tn,
coroners jury in bringing in a decision
other than that tho deed was committed
by unknown parties. The officers are
busily engaged in following up ever,
clue that may lead TO the conviction O
the parties who are responsible for the
commission of the dastardly deed.

The Keystone Miner, in its issue of
last week says;
1t is reported that a rich strike has
been made in the tunnel at Demereau
mountain, near Pringle. The face Of
the tunnel is said to glisten with ore
which assays as high as 500 gold.
This is another case Of going away
from home to get the news, to which we
would not seriously object if it were
true but while the prospect for such a
strike in the early future is most fatter-
ing, the Miners mention is manifestly
too previous, the glittsring strike, as yet,
being only anticipated.
