Mitchell Decides to Light Its Own
Streets,

NiitCncil OeclCcS TO Light Its Owr
Streets.
At a recent meeting of the Mitchell
city council steps were taken to i,n.
prove the conditions which surround
the lighting facilities of the city.
For the past year or two there has
been considerable complaint made at
the very poor service given by the To-
cal company, but all efforts to get
something better have failed. The
company holds an exclusive franchise
from the city and the city is compelled
to pay S11 each per month for the
eight li9hts for a period of twenty
years, thirteen Of which have passed
by. Seeming SO we'll e%ntrenched, the
electric light company has been in a
position to do about as 1t pleased. Re
peatedly the council has endeayored to
get better service, and failing, it has
decided to take drastic measures for
the future.
Mayor Silsb~ sent a special message
to the council on this occasion which
has for it's purpose the annulment OF
the franchise and for the city to take
steps at once looking to the erection
and maintenance Of a municipal cleo.
trio light plant.
The mayors message was received
IN a favorable light, and will be acted
upon. The. ordinance committee was
Instructed to prepare an ordinance for
the next meeting Of the council which
repeal the present ordinance and
will abrogate the features of the ordi-

Brave Woman Injured by Unknown
Firebug.
While trying to defend her home
against incendiaries, Mrs. P. n. Carr
of Deadwood was dealt a terrific blow
on the head, and a revolver that she
was carrying was wrested from her
hand by her assailant, who made off
in the darkness. Mrs. Carr called to
another lady in the house at the time
she was struck, and this is supposed to
have caused the flight of the man. He
evidently slipped in the alley, for the
revolver was afterward found where
he had dropped it in his haste.
Incendiaries have made the Carr res
idence the object of their operations
for several months, and eight fires
have been started in the adjoining
sheds, being discovered in zine to pre-
vent serious damage except once, when
an outbuilding was destroyed. The
police have had watches around the
property several weeks, and Carr, who
Is a saloonman, hired special guards
Tor a time without accomplishing any
results. As 500 as the guards were
taken of the incendiaries returned.
They were discovered by Mrs. Carr
shortly before midnight. She fired at
one OF the men as he was running
away, and the bullet hole in the fence
indicates that she did not miss him
far. She put out the fire with water.
and, after telephoning her husband,
set herself to watch. In a few minutes
she saw a mar enter the woodshed.
She opened the back door, with a re-
volver in one hand, and expected to
take a shot at him when he emerged.
An accomplice had evidently been
posted at the side of the door, and as
soon as she was far enough out he
struck her back of the ear, stunning
her.
