Mass Meeting Condemns the British
for Waging the Present War.
HERMAN, Mimi, March 8-(Special)-
At a pro-Boer meeting held here Satur-
day, with w. T. Ziebarth, chairman, and
E. w. Lee, secretary, the following res
olutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, An unjustifiabIe war is being
Waged against two sister republics OF
South Africa by an unscrupulouS, greedy
and powerful nation and
Whereas, Said powerful nation refused
to arbitrate, and, according to authentic
reports of proceedings during and pre-,
vious to the controversy, has shown that
1t wished, and had determined to subju-
gate the people of said republics, thereby
gaining control Of and practically confis-
eating the rich gold mines situated with
in the Transvaal republic, ostensibly to
enable the already wealthy English mine
owners to practically escape taxation
and increase their dividends And
Whereas, The claim of the English rul-
ers that the property of the English clti-
English citizens were being unjustly
treated by unjust laws, is not borne out
by facts, but is contradicted by acts and
testimony, of citizens of other nations
living under the same laws. And
Whereas, The English are using So
called lyddite shells, whose barbarous
effect can be classed with the poisonous
arrows used long ago by the savages-
advantage of a foeman worthy of their
steel Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the citizens of Herman,
Mimi. in mass meeting assembled, That
we extend our sincere and heartfelt SYM
pathy for the brave people of the South
African republics in this their just but
unequal struggle for liberty, and hope
that they may be able to maintain their
independence against the aggressors. Be
it further
Resolved, That we condemn the English
statesman whose mean and exasperating
diplomacy precipitated this unjust and
wholly unnecessary war. Be it further
Resolved, That we condemn the state
ment made by certain people, that the
war on the part of England is just,
civiliZing and Christianizing, as such
statements are misleading, and not sub
stantiated by facts and circumstances
leading up to this Satanic conflict

Miss Lillian Butts who e!oped with tha

night from Chicago with Inspector Tom

her infatuation for Franklin, and viii
see him no more
inspector Murphy and his charge arriv-
ed last night at 1915 over the M;lwau-
kee, from Milwaukee, where the previ
Gus night was spent. On alighting from
the car 1t was evident that Miss Butts
was glad to be back in Minneapolis once
more. The train hands told their friends
who the woman in the white hat and the
automobile coat was, and there was all
sorts OF looking done TO get a glimpse
OF her face. This Miss Butts prevented
by pulling the brim of her white Fedora
hat over her eyes and turning up the
collar Of her coat. On the way to the sta
ton she made a severe struggle to remain
bright, and succeeded in doing 50. She
was quite willing to talk on anything but
herself, but at times there was a strange
note In her voice that told the emotion
she was laboring under.
Immediately on her arrival in the sta
tion she was taken to the Woman's ward.
When asked If there was anything she
Ing that her case had received fully its
share of attention. Said she:
Il know that all sorts of stories have
been written about me, and many of
them were a long way from being the
truth. l suppose the string tiends' have
to make living, though, but still think
that there was scant considerati ton shown
me. The statements that have been
made concerning me in Minneapolis were
one of the reasons that made me glad to
come back"
Are you glad to come back?' was
asked.
Yes, indeed" she said, film covering
her eyes. II am glad TO come back, and
was more than willing to have returned
at any stage Of the proceedings. I found
that I was being misrepresented in
Minneapolis, and 1 would have returned
sooner had I not been out of Jail on
bond for LOCO. 1t wasn't the money that
held me there either, for I still have a
sense of honor, despite all the things
that have been said concerning me.
81 am glad that 1 am back, and will
never again return to Chicago. The first
thing I have TO do in Minneapolis is to
clear myself of the charge of embezzle-
meat. l won't be satisfied with any COM
promise, although l know perfectly well
that the charges made against me were
simply fabrications for the purpose OF
having me brought back. Too much has
been said about my honesty, and l Will
see that I am proven innocent.
"An the trouble that occurred about me
In Chicago was the result of the actions
taken by the attorneys against my wish
es, although 1 had reached the stage
almost where wishes were of a negative
quantity. Except in one instance ] was
the cause of no trouble. That was when
Frank Wheaton had the trouble in the

LEAD, 8. D., March S-(Special)-
Fire that started in the Dalkenberg sa-
loon, on upper Main street at ]: 80 o'clock
this morning, resisted all efforts to ex-
tinguish 1t until twelve hours later, dur
Ing which time the principal business por-
ton of upper Main street was destroyed,
forty buildings being swept away and a
property damage of $5OO,OOO.
There was a high wind, and water in
the street mains was scarce and at low
pressure. The local fire department, aid
towns made no headway against the
sweep of the flames. In half a dozen
places dynamite was used to check the
fire, as IT approached valuable property,
and in this way some good was accom-
plished
The ]. N. Searle meat market and the
Mile Kemp photograph gallery, adjoin-
Ing on the east, caught and were par
TALLY consumed. p. A Gushurt's grocery,
In brick building, was skipped
Fire caught on three wooden buildings
east of Gushurt's store, occupied by q
meat market by Marcoux, furniture, and
L. d. Jacobs, stationery; the Miners
union hall, at the rear of these buildings,
caught next, and, at the same time, the
fire jumped across Blocker street and
destroyed w. r. Dickinson's pharmacy
w. b. Perkins stationery store, Curons
real estate office, L. p. Jenkins phar-
macy, and gutted two saloons and gents
furnishing stores.
The fire from the Miners union hall
spread north, soon having the cheap
boarding houses and "tenderloin district"
surrounded. The coniagrat ton then
spread to the rear of some wooden build
ings on Main street, and everything was
soon ablaze Commencing with the Abe
Fink Cigar Manufacturing company, the
fire destroyed the Black Hills Telephone
company's office, Henry Jacobs hardware
store, the stores of Knesler Bros, con-
fectionery; Wolff Fink, jewelry; Fawcett
Defiant, groceries; ]. l. Cranson tai
lor; Bargelet, jewelry; American Express
office, and a saloon.
Across Pine street the fire consumed
Cotton & Andrews saloon, o. Berg's jew
elry store, S. w. Bowers office, the
Western Union telegraph office, keystone
tailor shop, Andrews barber shop and
the Homestake lodging house
For time there seemed to be no
chance of saving the entire business por-
tion of the city. All of the glass in the
buildings on the east side of Mill street
and the south side of Main street was
broken, and, for time, 1t was feared
that the Homestake brick store, Hearst
free library and stamp mills would be de-
stroyed.
Fire companies came from Deadwood
Terraville and Central City. The esti-
mated loss of forty buildings is placed
at $50O,0OO, which is covered by about $780,
COCO insurance. Most of the business
blocks burned were wooden, and they will
be replaced Immediately by stone and
brick structures, including three-story
hotel. Lead has been cleared of the
bawdy houses and a number of saloons.
Plans are already being made for tenn
