A Residence Burned.

A few minutes after 8 o'clock on last
Sunday night, the dread alarm of fire
was heard In this place, and IN answer
to the summons many Of our citizens
rushed to the scene Of the fire, which
was found to be a residence known as
the Grifis building in the northeastern
part OF the city, and occupied by MIR.
George Gundlach. wife, and daughter,
Mrs. Hall. The fire originated in Mrs.
Halls room on the second floor, and is
supposed to have been caused by the
disjointins of a stove pipe.
Mrs. Hall and her mother had gone
out to call upon friends a short time
before the fire originated, leaving Mr..
Gundlach, who is well along in years.
and sorely afflicted with rheumatism,
alone in the house, and as he was in his
room on the first floor, the fire was well
advanced before he discovered 1t. His
eDfeebled condition precluded much
haste on his part in giving the alarm,
and as a consequence the fire had gained
too much Roadway when assistance
reached him, to prevent the total de-
struction of the building and almost all
of it's contents There were a few ar
ticles of furniture taken out Of the
rooms on the first floor, but nothing
whatever was removed from the rooms
on the second floor, occupied by Mrs.
Halls, her loss being complete. There
was no insurance upon either the build
ing or its contents, and the loss will be
deeply felt by the unfortunate victims,
who have the deepest sympathy Of the
entire community in their sad mis-
fortune. Mr.. Gundlach's loss in furni-
ture, clothing, bedding and other val
tables, would probably aggregate two or
three hundred dollars, while Mrs. Halls
loss is estimated at five or six hundred
dollars, as in addition to the loss of all
her furniture, clothing and bedding,
much Of value in the way of jewelry, in
Guiding m elegant gold watch. souvenir
of her deceased husband, and valued at
500, was destroyed.
1t was fortunate that the building
destroyed was not in close proximity to
any other buildings, rs in that even
the loss would have been greater, as
with the entire absence of the requisite
facilities for the protection against fire,
in most cases, about all our citizens can
do in case Of fire, is to stand around,
look intently on and let her burn. How
long, we wonder, will this be thus?

Saw Mills Close Down!

The effect Of the restrictions imposed
upon saw mill men by the stringent
laws passed for the protection of timber
upon forestry reserves, has been the
closing down ofthe mills in this locality.
The Cleveland forestry order went into
effec, on March LIST, since which time
the mills in this locality have been idle
1t is difficult to determine at this iunc-
ture how long these mills will remain
closed. 1t is not Improbable, however,,
that some Of them will resume operation
in the early future, in which event it is
safe to say that they will be operated in
strict compliance with every provision
of the statute. 1t may not be reason
ably expected that all of these mills will
resume operation, but that a limited
number of them, enough at least to
supply the local demand for lumber,
will, at no distant day, be operating
upon a strictly legal basis.
While it is apparent that the saw mill
business does not, under the prevailing
laws, offer any special inducements. it
is nevertheless wholly improbable that
the industry will be entirely abandoned.
One Of the probable results Of the
change, which involves the payment Of
stumpage to the government. will he a
sharp advance in the price of lumber,
that has for years been a drug upon our
local market. to a figure that will leave
a small margin of profit for the mill
man yer the cost of production, which
will he in marked contrast with our
past experience, which in itself is more
gratifying than 1t is exasperaling in it's
contemplation.
The effect OF the sudden suspension OF
this industry may be, in a measure, de-
trimental to the interests of this section
for a short time, but later ON when the
men who have been engaged in this
business shall have turned their atten.
ton to mining, and other pursuits,
which offer brighter promise of profit.
able returns than has ever resulted
from the prosecution of the humber bust
ness in this locality, there are valid
reasons to conclude that it will inure to
the benefit Of the community at large.

Brought Back HIS Prisoner.

The Deadwood Independent Of last
Saturday says: Matt Plunkett, sheriff OF
Lawrence county, arrived this forenoon
from Sioux tity with Howard Smith.
who was implicated in the theft Of l..
p. Stones cattle, and who was arrested
at Sioux City Immediately after the dis.
covery that the cattle had been stolen.
Smith gave his name 10 the officers in
Sioux City as Finch, but he is known
up here, having been in Col. Stones
employ for the last four months. He
was in charge Of the %colonel's ranch,
near st. Onge, and that was what made
it so simple a matter for he and his
confederates to drive the cattle TO town
and get of without detection. Col.
Stones accidental visit 10 the ranch,
and the meeting Of the men with The
cattle at Long Pine, by John NJ. Barrett,
who works for Mallory Sons & thinner

was all that frustrated their schemes.
Smith is merely a boy, 20 wears o d., but
he seems TO be long enough in expert
ence. for not q word can be obtained
from him relating 10 the stealing of the
cattle and his connection with il. He
will neither affirm nor deny the charge.

yet, as the money from the sale is

Sheridan, to ascertain whether or not

the murderer. If he is no will he
brought back here Immediately. Mr..
Plunkett says he had just thirty minutes
in Sioux Falls, and during that time he
had to take Dudley up to the penitenti-
airy and get back to take the train for
Sioux City. At the latter place he was
obliged to wait until yesterday for re-
QUESTION papers for Smith, before start
