A. FRIeHTFUL HOLOCAUST.
Seventeen Inmates of an Insane Asylum
Reported to Have Perished
In a Fire.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. IA Bee special
,.roa Yankton, S. D.. says: One of
the most horrifying fires in the his
tory of Yankton occurred yesterday at
two o'clock at the state insane asylum
when one of the cottages took fire IN
The basement, completely quitting the
building and causing the loss of the
ives of IT inmates confined there.
The Names OF the Victims.
The names of those missing and the
counties from whence they came are:
Augusta Boerse, Lake county.
Julia Erickson, Meade.
Ella Lokken, Coddington.
Margaret Lynch, Union.
Josina Olson, Hamlin.
Martenia Tennyson, Pennington.
Elizabeth Stolpe, Dawson.
Mrs. Rampant, Brown.

Aaelina Hurley, Potter.
Christina Johnston, Coddington.
Jennie Kronig. Pennington.
Lucia Keene, Coddington.
Caroline Lindberg. Brown.
Katie Plavitz, Bonhomme.
Cainie Swanson, kjngsbury,
The Asylum was Overcrowded.
The cottage was erected of stonG
and granite walls, with wooden inter-
icr, and intended for laundry purposes,
but owing to the crowded condition of
the main building 40 of the female
patients were placed here with the
laundry in the basement.
Cause of Fire Unknown.
The exact cause of the fire is not
known, except that it originated in
the dry room of the laundry.
Here there is coil of steam
pipes, and the theory is that
either fine particles, similar to linz.
settled on the pipes, which ignited, or
that clothes, which were thickly hung
here, dropped on the pipes and were
fired.
Heartrending Sight.
With the thermometer standing at 23
degrees below zero, it was a heart
rending sight to witness those escap-
ing coming down the narrow fight OF
stairs in their night clothing and bare
feet into the cold, and had it not been
for the nearness of shelter the suffer-
ing and probable loss of life from
freezing would have been terrible.
The building was three stories high,
with an attic and two entrances, one
east and one west. There was one
stairway from the second and third
floors, which led into the main halls
to these entrances, thus giving but one
egress for those in the second and
third floor and attic.
Escaped with Loss of Their Personal Eff
fects.
Fifty-two persons were in the burn
ing building, 40 patients and 12 fe-
male attendants. The attendants es-
capped as did the others who were
saved, with none of their personal eff
fects, many losing all that they pos.
sessed.

FRoMBERG Is ITS. NAME.
Gebo Given Il New Station Name by tn

Gebo Given a New Station Name by the
Northern Pacific Railroad.
In speaking Of the new time card
that went into effect on the branch
lines Of the Northern Pacific railroad
last Sunday, the Carbon county Senti-
mel, published at Gebo, says:
"The new time card which went
into effect on the Clarke's Fork branch
Monday designates the station at Gebo
as Fromberg. We understand that the
reason given for the change is chat a
gentleman in Germany by the aforesaid
name is a large holder of Northern Pa
ciic stock, and the manag ement of the
road promised him sometil me since that
the first new point upon the line that
gave assurance of being more than a
little burg would be named in honor of
him-hence Fromberg. Some Of our
citizens are Of the opinion that the
name Of the town should be changed to
conform with tile station. This result
is the probable expectation Of the rail
way company, and, as it is evident that
they will not again change the name,
it will be inevitable"

A Remarkable Lake,

The most remarkable body of water
in the world lies in the vicinity of the
Colorado river, in southern California.
In this region Of ugly volcanoes, desc.
late wastes and Shiny swamps, the
strangest phenomenon Of all is what
the naturalists call a "Iake of ink. :"
No other description fits as we'll.
The strange black fluid that forms
the lake bears no resemblance to water.
The pool of ink is situated about half
, mile from a volcano. It is about an
aore in area. The surface is coated with
gray ashes from the volcanoes to tho
thickness Of about six inches, thus CON
,ealing it's real nature.
Experience has proved that the black
fluid of the lake is not poisonous. It
acts as a dye, and cotton goods soaked
in 1t keep their color for months, even
when exposed to the sun. They also ao-
quire a stiffness similar to that produced
by weak starch. The fluid has been
analysed, but it's component parts have
not been made known. As to the source
of the supply of the lake, nothing def
mite has been ascertained. It is undoubt-
eddy of volcanic origin, but nothing
more definite is known.
This is q bad land that has never been
traversed. Human beings have tried it.
but they return to tell of their ex.
perience or their discoveries. Louis.
