Horseshoe Companies.
BLAZE BEYOND CONTROL
Miners Cannot Get Within 700 Feet Of:
the Flames, Which Are Raging
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Mules

Terry, S.. D., Sept. 5.-The fire in the
sundance mine of the. Golden Reward
company is. still raging with unabated
fury. Every effort is being made to-
subdua the flames, but with no appar--
ent success. Protected by streams Of
water, the miners ear only get within
700 feet of the flames, and fighting the
fire at this distance is out OF. question.

only remedy. However, this. will be-.
done only as a last resort. Bulkhead-

TRICRED GAMBLING JOINTS.
sharpers Manipulate Roulette Whees
With a Wire.

~ "0AhsH~sAsS
With a Wire.
Lead, S. D., Sept. 6.-Four men re-
Gently visited Lead Inc DeadWood anu
cleaned up several thousand dollars
from the roulette wheels by practicing
an old trick in a new way. One OF them
would manipulate the wheel with e
wire while the other were occupying
the attention Of the dealer in various
ways. They played chips of different
denominations and would bet OH the
same numbers, SO that the dealer was
kept busy sorting the chips. The mar
with the wire was SO adept that he
could hasten the wheel or slow 1t up
at will and cause the ivory sphere to
drop where. he desired. The, quartet
won $1,000 at the Gold Mine gambling
house in Lead and $1,000 at the Man
sion in Deadwood. They were playing
in the latter place late at night
and when they stopped playing the
house did not have money enough to
pay, asking them to call in the morn
ing. Before they called their trick was
exposed, and the house refused to pay
the $500 they had coming. They left
here for Denver.
