(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)

corner of Car son and Se> enteenth streets,

life, property loss estimated at $685.
900 over a dozen buildings consumed and
rendered score of families homeless.
The flames were discovered in the
basement of the fOur-storv department
store Of George f. Lorsch and Brother
and in very short time the entire build
ing was burning fur'nn~'v. 1t was in
ruins within thirty minutes.
A panic ensued alluns .ne customers
and employees, which resulted in what
started at first report that eight per-
sons had persisted. This was happily
found to be untrue after the fire had
been controlled, the only fatality being
the burning to death of Mrs. Kate DON
ley's thre-yar-old child. When the fire
broke out Mrs. Donley and child were
on the fourth floor of the Lorsch build
ing. In her haste to escape the mother
fell on the stairway and was rendered
unconscious. In the excitement the child
was either forgotten or burned before
aid could reach it.
A shower of the burning timbers were
thrown from the Lorsch building. carry
ing destruction in all directions and sew
eral other stores and a number Of dwell
ings were swept by the flames.
The losses are pretty we'll covered by

A PRISON PEN FOR BERMUDA
Fifteen Hundred Beers May Be Sent
to West India Island for Safe
Keeping.
(By Associated Press }

(By Associated Press.)
Hamilton, Bermuda, April 29-There is
considerable excitement at present in
Bermuda over the expected advent of
1,5O0 Boer prisoners.
The British government has leased
Budarell's island. one of the largest ISL
ands in the sound and within a quarter
of mile of Warwick shore, for a year,
with the option of relinqushing it on a
months notice. fuckers island has also
been inspected, but up to April "a no
definite settlement has been made in
regard to it.
The army officials are. as usual, very
reticent. but as the blacksmths in town
have been sounded as to their ability
to construct several hundred yards of
iron fence. very strong. close, high and
with spike points, and as the plans
which one Of two have seen are said to
be the outline of one of the islands very
little doubt is entertained as to the OBJ
ject in view by the government.
Bermudans are not feeling very COM
Portable over the matter. The island is
still garrisOned by the colored regiment,
the First West Indians. and their be-
havior has been by no means calculated
to inspire the confidence of the people
they are supposed to guard. 1t is hoped
that a very strong force of European
soldiers will he sent with the Beers. or
matters, it is feared. may be as uncom-
Portable as they were recently at St
Helena.

PROTECTION THEIR ONLY HOPE
Hopeless English Farmers Crowd the
Cities IN a Vain Effort to
Make Living.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
New York. April 29.-The purely agri-
cultural villages of Great Britain are
steadily becoming depopulated, says the
Tribune's London correspondent. At the
same time the big cities and urban dis.
tricts in the manufacturing localities
continue to increase in population. This
is proved by the census returns so far
as they have been published. The grad
ual move of population from country to
town which is very noticeable in the last
decade, seems likely to go on so long
as the depression in British agriculture
continues.
1t is indeed practical certainty that
until England renounces her free trade
policy the agriculture of the country will
remain at a low ebb, and the big cities
and London in particular will continue
to be Overcrowded.
People in England have not yet begun
seriously to consider the way in which
a solution of the Overcrowding problem
Is to be arrived at There Is good dea |
of academic discussion of such questions
as the housing of the working classes,
but the government is unwilling to deal
with the matter.

HEWANTEO TO DIE
EuWARD j. SEXTON, FORMERLY
OF BUTTE, SHOOTS HIMSELF.
BULLET MISSED THE HEART
Insurance Man Had Been Drinking
and Tried to Take His Life at Grip
pie Creek-Well and Favorably
Known Here-Message From His
Wife Says He Will Recover.

Edward ]. Sexton. formerly examiner
the fire underwriters in Butte and who
attempted suicide by shooting himself at
Cripple, Colo ado. a few days ago, will
recover.
A telegram has been received from
MIS-. Sexton to that effect Mr.. Sexton is
ons well and is certain of recovery un-
less complications set in.
Mr.. Sexton is a special agent of the Ma
tional Fire In ance company with
headquarters at Denver. He sent bull
let into his left breast while stopping at
the National hotel, Cripple Greek. DIR.
Terrence removed the missile, thus CIV
ing the patient a chance for his life.
Sexton was we'll known in this city,
where he resided with his wife. He had
been drinking for some time, having fall
en- from grace after abstaining from liq-
uor for seven years. 1t is believed that
during that period of semi-sobrety he be-
came so respondent that he determined
to end his life.
Two Denver friends, Frank G. White
and Charles Gill, were with him when he
shot himself, but he discharged the pis-
tol SO quickly that they could not inter-
fere. The ball entered the breast in the
vicinity of the heart, tearing an ugly
cash in the flesh, but missing the vital
point.
Mrs. Sexton, as soon as she heard Of
her husbands act, left for Cripple Creek
and is now with the wounded man. Sex
ton is about IS years Of age and was
married five years ago. His father, w. F..
Sexton, is prominent insurance man Of
San Francisco.
He was we'll and favorably known in
Butte Bwhere he and Mrs. Sexton had
large circle of friends.

THE WOES OF A CHINAMAN
He Is Roughly handled by Hoodlums
and Then Arrested for Inno-
cent Interference.

Because of alleged missta tements made
to him, Police Judge Sullivan today
championed the cause Of Chinaman
who has been placed under arrest by the
police, in language more forceful than
elegant. Later developments, however,
showed the action of the police had been
warranted by circumstances, and har-
moEious understanding of the affair was
reached.
1t seems that the Chinaman was
rounding the corner Of Granite and
Wyoming streets when he was set upon
by two hoodlums, knocked down and
brutally kicked. sustaining severe IN
juries. A large crowd witnessed the DIS
graceful scene, among them being Judge
Lindsay, who rescued the Chinaman
from his tormentors and brought him to
the police station.
Judge Sullivan placed the injured man
in charge of Chief Lavell. When he
heard afterward that the Chinaman ha /
bee harvested by Officer Choniere, he be-
came convinced that an error had been
made and, going to the Jail, expostulatcd
regarding the arrest.
When Chief Lavell arrived shortly
afterward it was learned that Officer
Choniere had been sent out to take the
assailants of the Chinaman into custody.
The men fled up East Broadway, and in
their pursuit the officer was handi-
capped lby the Chinaman, who was much
excited, and persisted in hanging onto
his coat tails and jabbering his tale OF
woe in pigeon English. Choniere wa,
obliged to arrest the Chinaman to quiet
him.
Chief Lavell set the victims of the
hOUdlums free and cautioned him not
to modest the police again in the dis
charge of their duties.
The identity of the assailants is known
and they will be arrested as soon as
their whereabouts are learned.
