Mr.. Heads family had gone to church

was given by Agent Campbell, and ev-
erybody responded at once. By the
time water was at hand the fire
had too much headway, and nothing
could be done, SO the next Thought
was to save what could be saved in the
other buildings. McGinness had some
store fixtures in the Connor building;
fixtures saved. Nothing else in build

a few days before. Head saved moth
ing but q sewing machine. Emmons
County State Bank fixtures all saved.
H. d. Bloss & Co. saved nearly every

The buildings of A. L. Cell & Co.,
j. G. Brown and Woodman's drug
store had a narrow call. Only for hard
work in keeping them soaked with we
ter, they would have gone, and with
them, of course, all the other buildings
on that side of the street.-the Bank
of Eraddock, DR.. Snyder's drug store
and the Republican office. The he t
on the west side Of the street was 20
intense that the entire glass front of
the A. L. Cell s. Co. building was bro

Part Of Woodman's glass was also de-
stroyed In the same way, with loss
of about el5.

The news from South Africa, this
week, appears to be more favorable to
the British, although nothing of
startling nature has yet transpired.
London reports state that Gen. Rob-
erts turned the Boer flank and relieved
Kimberley, the army of Gen. Cronje
withdrawing without loss of men and
with all its guns and stores. There is
nothing definite as to the pursuit,
even from British sources. Following
are among the dispatches to the En-.
glish papers:
There is an unconfirmed rumor that
Gen. Kitchener has captured Gen.
CrOnje and 1000 Beers.
Practically nothing is known of
Gen. Roberts column. Many import
ant points regarding the pursuit OF
CrOnje remain obscure.
The statement that q large BOer
force was massing north Of Kimberley
raises In the minds of some experts
the question whether Gen. Cronie's
main army is with the force retreating
on Bloemfontein. 1t is suggested that
the latter is really q Free State army,
l.
portion Of the MageTsiontein com-
mand, while the main body Of the iat.
ter, under Gen. Cronie, Is trying to Sc
cure the Vaal bridge at Fourteen
Streams, thus barring the way to Ma
feking.
Kimberley has been relieved almost
too cheaply, since the Dutch forces
retreated rapidly. taking their guns
with them, and will have to be fought
in other defensive positions further.
north.
The Beers captured supply tyllfn
consisting OF 200 wagons, each 6aded
with 5000 pounds of ratiOns /4nd for
age, and each drawn by 16 oxen. The
capture was made by q commando
from COlesburg.
The war seems to have reached a
critical stage, and undoubtedly there
will soon be stirring news. The Lon
don newspapers have a more confident
and optimistic tone, generally; but
some Of them call attention to the
fact that Roberts has not yet captured
any Beers or Boer cannon, and that,
although the general did not have
to fight his enemy at Kimberley, he
will probably have to fight them at
points Of their own choosing further
north.
The English dispatches state that
there is much uneasiness in govern
ment circles over the action OF Russia
in regard to Persia aud In the mobil-
ization Of large army on the Afghan
frontier.

YOUNG MARTIN VAN soEsT

.z q - ~ . j. -4 - fG-.,,. .
The Pooplo In the vIclnlty 81 sHull
CoasiderabIy Bothered over the
Report That the Boy Is to he
Tnrnod Loose by the Plankkneon
Reform.school Authorities.
The people of Hull are much exer-
'cised over the report that Martha Van
Soest, the boy who a year and half
ago acted the role Of the tire-bug and
destroyed much property, is soon to be
set free by the authorities Of the
Plankinton reform school. The settlers
In that part Of the county fear that
Martins punishment has not extended
over enough time to cause his reforma-
tion; and, from the year and half
that have elapsed since he was sent to
Plankinton, deduction of four
months must be allowed for the time
he was absent on account of his es-
cape, about year ago.
1t is unaccountable why the South
Dakota authorities have taken upon
themselves the right to set young Van
Soest free. AS we understand it, the
state Of North Dakota has an agree.
ment with South Dakota under which
prisoners are sent to Plankinton, there
being no reform school In this state.
And what moral right they have to
turn such . desperate criminal loose
without the initiative Of the governor
OF North Dakota In the way Of par
don, we are unable to understand.
In the neighborhood Of the boys
home everybody Is opposed to discharg.
Ing Martin from the reform school,
which fact is not to be wondered at
when it is considered that the setting
of nineteen fires is laid at the door OF
young Martin, and that, at the time
he was sent to Plankinton, his only
thought seemed to be Of revenge
against those who had complained
against him. II the South Dakota
Officers are going to turn the boy loose
regardless Of the wishes Of those who
have suffered by him and who fear
him, he should be taken in charge by
our state authorities and, If possible,
put behind the bars at Bismarck until
he is twenty-one years old. And, II q
sentence to the Plankinton reform
school carries only such punishment
With 1t as may suit the convenience of
the South Dakota authorities, not an.
other session Of the legislature should
pass until an appropriation 10 made
for constructing the reform school
at Mandsn.

The ROCK ISLAND EXTENSION.
The Survey from Clayton to White Oaks Is
Almost Completed,

Within the next feW days the Rock
Island and the E. p. & N. e. railway
surveying corps, working southwest and
northeast, will have formed a junction
of their respective surveys somewhere
north of White Oaks, toward the JIG
arilla mountains, probably not far from
Luna Spring.
Some dispatches sent out from Clay
ton and other places in New Mexico
two weeks ago about the line taken by
the Rock Island surveyors are very mis-
leading. The Rock Islands CHIEF en-
headed for some point on the "Fecos
road" when it should have been "Pecos
river" These surveyors crossed the
Pecos valley near Puerto de Luna a
week ago, headed for Jicarilla, where
Chief Engineer Sumner and his corps
of E. r. & N E. road surveyors were
encamped Wednesday of last week, SO
they cannot be very far apart a. this
writing.
The survey made by the Ell Paso &
Northeastern corps through the White
Oaks country has been surprisingly sat
isfactory The grade through the
ranges there can be made with a little
less than 11a per cent, which was a
great surprise to the surveyors.
1t is now conceded that the road will
go via White Oaks, instead of Captain,
to avoid the heavy 4 per cent grade on
the Captain line, already in operation
and to get more direct line to Ell Paso
1t is generally agreed that the work
Of construction will begin on the con-
Meeting line as soon as the survey is
completed.
AS to running a branch road north
through the Gallinas mountains and the
Pfnos Wells region, that will doubtless
be the next move undertaken after the
completion of the gap between Liberal,
Kan, and White Oaks. The value and
extent of the mineral discoveries now
so frequently reported from the CALI
mas mountains will have much to do
with this feature of the enterprise

FOREST RESERVE NOTES.
Seven Rangers for the Pecos Reserve to Be
Appointed After September !.

James McCabe, the Minneapolis
journalist, appointed range rider two
and half months ago, has gained II
work. He has charge Of the Rociada re-
gion of the Pecos reservation.
Supervisor X. c. Mcclure is in return
from three weeks trip through the
southern, central and eastern parts of
the Pecos reserve. The cattle grazing
thereon cat 9 cents per head) are roll
ing fat and made the supervisor feel
like quitting the government service
and going into the cattle business.
I. B. Hanna, supervisor of forest re-
serves in New Mexico and Arizona, has
returned to his headquarters at Santa
Fe after trip to the ella reserve as
far as Moreau, Ariz. While there he
promoted Range Rider William H.
Thayer, an Illinois appointee, to the po-
sition Of assistant supervisor in charge
Of the eastern half of the reserve.
Robert ]. Ewing has been appointed
range rider, and goes on duty to-mor-
row in district No. 2, covering the Clori-
eta and PecostoWn localities. Another
ranger Is to be appointed to go on duty
September l. For this position Messrs.
Hanna and Mcclure have recommended
Antonio Dockweiler's name to the ia
vorable consideration of the secretary
Of the interior.
After September 1 there will be seven
rangers employed on the Pecos tract A
part of their duties consists Of acting as
game wardens, and the result is that
there are many more deer in the Santa
Fe-Pecos mountains now than for
years past. This is attributable to two
rangers in preventing the killing Of
game during the closed season, and an
other is the barring out of the herder
boy, which has given the does a chance
to raise their young unmolested.
Range Rider O. S. Fletcher has cut a
trail through the mountains from Clio
rieta past the copper camps across the
head of Dalton canon to the Indian
creek trail; one from the Cienega, be-
low Monument Rock, to Glorieta, an
other from the head of Santa Fe canon
nearly to the lakes He is soon to be
assigned to the upper Tesuque and
Nambe district, and will reopen the old
Knox trail, which originally cost Santa
Feans 5000, from the Rio Tesuque over
the Baldy saddle to Windsor creek and
Lake Espiritu Santo.
