Work of Fisbds.

On the night of December 81 last
the homes of number of citizens of
Cleveland and Lincoln counties were
burned, the work of incendiaries, all
the property being within radius of
six miles. The houses burned belonged
to Bob Atkinson, Lee Brewster, Tip
Saunders, Aunt" Nancy Saunders,
Messrs. Petty and Ridgway. At most
of the places the occupants were alb
sent at the time, and returned to find
their property in ashes. The work is
thought to have been accomplished by
two men who rode horses. he horses
were unshod, and the tracks were
quite apparent. leading from place to
place. 1t is thought the motive of the
deed was revenge and the people so
outrageously wronged feel confident
that they know the identity of the
criminals.

Criminal Record for 1901.

Clio Harper. in the Little T.ock
Democrat, publishes a careful colnpi-
latton of the criminal statistics of the
state for the past year During the
period noted there were four lynch
ings, as follows: February 19-Pete
Bergman. colored, Mena. for assault
on child; March 22-George Chez
verie, murder; April 6-May Hearn.
Osceola. murder; June 3-John Nal
10y. Hamburg, horse-stealng. There
was considerable increase over the
year preceding in the number of hom-
leides, and there were fourteen legal
executions. whereas there was only
one In 1900. The per cent of justifi-
able homicides is very large, in many
instances the killing having been done
in clear self-defense In some in
stances the guilty parties are now in
the shadow of the gallows, while many
of the as5assInations have never been
solved and are likely to remain a
mystery for all time In many other
cases convictions have been had for
murder in the lower degrees, and SEN
tences pronounced ranging from one
month to life Imprisonment Below is
a comparative statement of the past
four .ears:

lay upon the operating table at the
city hospital, Monday night, few
moments before his death from a pis-
tel wound, John Berney, his slayer,
who had been identified by Durney as
the man who had shot him, said care
lessly:
Il wonder where l hit him?"
Then he stepped from the police of
ticers who were near him close to the
dying mans side. He leaned over his
victim and gazed at the bleeding
wound in the right lung, which was
being probed by the doctors.
His glance was cold and he seemed
unmoved. An instant later his eve
wandered from the red mark of the
bullet and met the dull gaze of Du--
ney, who was still conscious and
watching. Durney was too weak to
speak, but, after n moment, Berncv
broke silence which had become or
pressiye.
You were looking for trouble, and
you got it," he said.
Then he accompanied the polics-
men, who escorted him from the hos-
pital to the four courts, where he waz

A SHOCKING CALAMITY.
Nearly a Score of Miners Imprisoncd Br q
Cave-In at the Nagaunee
(NIich.) Mines.

Negaunee, Mich, JAM S.-The most
distressing accident occurring in this
county for years occurred at the
Negaunee mine yesterday at noon.
when, by cave-in the lives OK
thirteen to seventeen miners are
thought to have been lost. The cave
in was at the bottom of the old
shaft. Had il occurred half an hodr
sooner about $50 men would have
been killed. The names of the dead
so far as known are:
William Williams, married.
John Sullivan, single.
John Paschoe, single.
John Pearce, married.
Jacob Hunlalla, married.
Thus far but one body has be IN
taken out, that of Hunlalla, and one
man was rescued alive.
Hundreds of men are at the mine
eager to help in the work of rescue.
but it is thought the other bodies
can not be reached within twen.y-
four hours.
The miner rescued is Dominic Bas-
SO, an ltal1an. BaSSO describes the
disascter in the mine as follows:
I'VE were sitting around the pump
at the bottom of the shaft, when,
without warning, thousands of tons
of ore came down. l remembered no
more until l heard the sound of picks
and shovels in the hands of rescuers.
and their shouts. i was in total
darkness and my feelings can not he
described. What seemed ages to me
was but minutes. When the rescuers
reached me l was $50 feet from the
place where ] was sitting and found
myself in drift. Now | got there
was mystery, but it can only be
accounted for by the concusssion OF
the wind"
The Negaunee mine is one of the
most unlucky properties in the Lake
Superior district. Much trouble in
sinking and drifting has resulte,.
from surplus water and quicksands.
1t was at this mine that 81 900, GOO
was recently expended to sink a shaft
to the ledge.
