CHRISTMAS DAY FIRE.
Goldgraber's Millinery Store in Since
 hans Block Burned.

hans Block Burned.
 About 80 o'clock Christmas morn ing fire was discovered in Goldgraber's $ millinery store on Grand street next door to Ochsner's meat market. Harry Durner noticed the blaze and sent in an alarm. At that time the blaze had gained good start and when the department arrived it looked as if Waterbury was in for another l big conflagration. The upper part of lthe building is used as offices and ten 3ements, and 1t was feared that many would be smothered before they could Iget out Sergeant Cahey. Officer M. Sullivan and others went In through the railways at great risk to their own l lives and succeeded In rousing every body who had not heard the alarm and assisted those in need to alnccs of safety. When the firemen n down i to business they made short work of 3the blaze. but after all tho damage
 was considerable and t.ic Inilliner will want all new stock when he opens agair md the owner of the block. |. ! !. Sfisclan, who purchased t few i weeks ago. will have to spend S1,000 or Sc in repairs. afr Goldgral,cr stops at the Broadway hotel and knew noth- ling of the affair until the next morn ling. Hc says the stock was worth g LOO and the insurance thereon but i $1.500.
 The tenants on the upper floors sllf- fered some damage on account of water, but they are very thankful see ing that they arc alive to tell all about f icsl l,,1t fNT1n e{ro U lnadinp to the two large blocks on tho corner, and If this had been shut it would be difficult to get those on tie inside out As 1t was there was quite a jam in the exit and while nobody got hurt everybody complains of being in close quarters. Dr Dellemarc, whose office is on the second floor, retired about midnight and had no knowledge of the fire until he was disturbed by the shiv, ering of the glass in his windows. The first thing that occurred to him was that some one was trying to purglariZe the place and happened to make more noise than he intended. but the llind!nG smoke that took him in the eyes soor l made him sensible of what was up and from that time on he had his hands fui helping to clear out the building. He | was among the last to vacate the prem fses and after he saw everybody out \ and got his own heels onto the side ! walk he breathed easier, although hi:
 lungs were pretty well charged witt smoke. If the ceiling of the second floor had given way several would have
 been precipitated into the burning
 store and all the firemen in the coun try would not have been able to save
 them. There should he fire escapes ol
 such buildings. especially when they I have but one stairway.

South Dakota News.

Armour S. D.. Jam. 24.-Coasterna-
lion reigns supreme in the little town
of belmont, twelve miles east OF this
city, over the attempted arrest of the
editor of the belmont Record. or
course, there is a woman. Or rather Two
women, at the bottom of the whole af-
fair.
The first woman is the divorced wife
of the editors son and lives somewhere
in Nebraska. With her lived a daugh-
ter of sweet SIXTEEN" whose custody
was accorded her in the divorce pro-
ceedings, but the daughter remained
there under protest. The conditions
became so embittered that she recently
wrote her father, who is in Michigan,
that her life was becoming intolerable
and that there must be a change OF
some sort-and that very soon, too
otherwise she would take her destiny
In her own hands and HE herself away
into the wide world.
This condition of things, it seems. had
been communicated to the editor of the
belmont neutrality-suspicious. of the
u woman, and he proceeded to Ne
braska and brought the girl home with
him. -+
On one fine morning the girl went as

| failed to return. The evening wore into
the night, and the night into day, and
still she came not. Then a ear was
begun for her, out without avail; for
nowhere in the neighborhood could
track of her be found. The mother be-
came desperate. n began to think:
Gould it be possible that the father
had stolen to the city and carried her
away to Michigan?" He might have,

the grand father had done so, ne liv-
ing nearer at hand. And upon that by
pothesis the sheriff Of the county in
which the missing one lived, came post
haste to belmont, and 10! the mystery
of the girls disappearance was solved:
for sure enough, there the girl was
~contentedly housed II cared for be-
meath the roof of the grandfather. How
she got there no one knows, at least,
10 one tells. The officer communicated
his find to the mother and papers We're
forthwith got out and sent to the sher-
iff for the immediate arrest of the one
who harbored her, but a state line in
tervened between the high court that
iss~ed the papers and the roof under
which the culprit vas housed, and the
officers demand met with a demurrer.
Governor Savage of Nebraska was APP
pealed to for requisition papers. which
were granted, but Attorney Wanzer of
this city says that justice must over
ride courtesy n asks Governor Her
reid of his state to refuse the request
Of the governor of Nebraska. The sher-
iff has gone HON and peace mingled
with no little apprehension reigns in
the sanctum of the belmont Record.
Still the old man tolls at the case. The
sympathies Of the people on this side Of
the big stream are wholly with the ed
itor, regardless Of how they are lined
up On the other side.

FREIGHT CAR RUNS AWAY.
Races Along for Ten Miles Down q
Steep Grade,

Deadwood. S. D., Jan. 2S.-A run
away flat car passed through Dead
wood on the Burlington track at an
estimated speed of seventy-five miles
an hour. 1t got away at Englewood,
ten miles above Deadwood, on the
main line Of the Burlington road, with
two other cars. The head a was
loaded, while the other were empty.
1t is a heavy down grade all the way,
and a fearful speed was attained. The
two empties jumped the track at Kirk
station and went into the ditch, smash
Ing into kindling, breaking away from
the head car, which was loaded. The
latter continued in its flight, enveloped
in a cloud of snow, which was licked
up from the track bed. The operator
at Kirk ~telegraphed Puma, and the
Deadwood Central coach, headed for
Lead, had just time to clear, letting
the runaway by with a few feet to
spare. In the lower part of Dead
wood the car struck ali upgrade and
lost its speed. Near the smelter it ran
into a number of other cars and was
stopped without serious damage. 1t
required quick work on the part of
operators n yardmen to give the
runaway a clear track. At Puma a
yard man was instructed to throw q
switch and u the car. in the ditch,
but he became terrified at the APP
proach and forgot his orders.

AMEs is HELD.
Young Man Accused Of the Murder
OF Frank Haniey.

Chamberlain. S. D.. Jan. 28.-Atl the
preliminary examination held Satur-
day before Justice Myhre, at Oacoma,
Robert 2Ames was held without bail
for the murder Of Frank Handley. The
shooting in question took place at the
Handley sheep ranch, on White Clay
creek, in the western part OF Lyman
county, IN New Years day, and was
the outcome Of asdispute over wages.
Ames. who is a lad OF but IS, had been
herding sheep for Handley for several
months. but on New Years day was in
formed that he would no longer be
needed. During the wrangle which SUBJ
sequently took place young Ames
picked up a rifle and shot Handley
through the breast, the latter dying
several hours afterward. Nobody was
in the house attthe time but
the parties in question. but Handley in
an ante-mortem statement declared
that Ames seized d rifle, and saying, IT
will take my wages out Of your did
hide fired. The evidence at the cor
toner's inquest indicated that the ball
struck Han!ey In the back, passing
through the right lung. Ames, on the
other hand, insists that Handley was
coming at him with a stick of wood
when he seized the rifle and fired In
-self-defense. The case will probably be
tried at an adjourned term of the cir
cult court, to be held at Oacoma on
February II.

BAD FOR REYNOLDS.
Former Stanch Friends Now
Believe He Is Guilty Of
Murder.

Sioux Falls. S. D., Jan. 25.-Sheriff
R. ]. Huston and Attorney r. w. Par
Imam, who were before the
grand jury at Orange City, Ia, to give
testimony in the Reynolds-Crofter
murder case. have arrived home. Both
give it as their opinion that Reynolds
will be convicted. They claim that a
much stronger case has been woven
around the accused man than is gen
orally understood.
The prosecution has dug up evil
dence to show that while Reynolds was
known to be hard up until about Au-
gust l, 1901 (the murder was commit
ted on August p. after that date he
was quite flush with money. He paid
off a claim held against him by a sew
ing machine company. He and his wife
went to Spirit Lake and spent three
weeks in pleasure seeking. 1t is also
claimed that the state has a witness
who will testify that Reynolds told
him that his team ran away the day
he gave the colored preacher a ride
and h latter was thrown from the
buggy and killed. Sheriff Huston was
at first among those who would not
believe in Reynolds guilt, but he came
back from Orange City with a differ.
ent opinion.

Deadwood. S. D.. Jan. 2S.-Hon.
Bartlett Tripp of Yankton and Judge
j. NJ. Brown of Eureka, members of
the South Dakota code commission,
are in Deadwood, meeting with ex-
Senator c. C. Moody, the other mem
Der of the commission. The meeting
is held for the purpose Of going over
the work that has been done and maxi
ing alterations and amendments before
giving it to the printers. The commits
sion has been. at work on the new con-
ditication since early last summer, and
this is the second meeting of the three
members, the first being held last
August, with Judge Trip at Yankton.
Several hundred pages of the new code
are in the hands of the printers, and
the work will be ready before the
next session Of the legislature. 1t will
make a volume of about $500 pages.
Judge Moody is compiling the code of
civil procedure, Judge Brown the code
of criminal procedure and political
code. and Judge Trip the civil and
criminal codes. The style Of the code
of 1877 is being used in Athe work in
numbering the sections, instead of
numbering them continuously. In cita-
lions the reporter system is employed
only in so far as it relates to the re-
ports of North and South Dakota. On
account of the large amour of bust
ness that has been transacted by the
different legislatures and ruled upon
by the supreme court since the last
official ~codification this is a tedious
undertaking. The State Publishing
company of Pierre has the contract to
print the new code, and j. e. Nipple,
formerly state auditor, and manager
for the company, is here to meet with
the commissioners.

WILL LEASE LANDS.
Senate Committee Agrees on Stand
ing Rock Range Matter.

Washington, Jan. rs. - The senate
committee on Indian affairs has heard
Commissioner Jones and Representatives
of the Indians on the proposed leasing
Of the Standing Rock grazing lands. It
was decided to allow the commissioners
and Inoians to get together on leases.
II they cannot reach an agreement the
committee will take some action look
ing to h settlement of the question.
This assures the award of the leases
already decided upon.
Grand Secretary Thiely OF the Catho-3
lie Order of Foresters, called at the
White house yesterday and presented a
protest of that order against alleged
discrimination against Indians in the
Dakotas. He stated that the Indians
were not allowed to send their children
to Catholic mission schools, and when
they did the children were not fur
nished with clothing and other things
usually given to Indian children at
tending government schools. The pres
ident thought the abrogation Of he
Browning ruling would prevent fur
Their discrimination. but If it does not
viii refer the question Of the right
of agents to discriminate against Ca
tholic children to the attorney general
of an opinion.
