INDIAN cURIos BURNED.
Many of the Articles Lost Cannot Be
Replaced.

Ell Reno, o. T., May 1.-THE Democrat
saws at 2:30 O'Clock Monday morning a
fire alarm called the department to o. l.
Richards Indian curio store, near the
Rock Island depot. The fire had gained
great headway before the alarm was
turned in and. although quick run was
made, it was impossible to save the build
ing, which was practically consumed, to-
gether wit ha large stock of curios. The
safe door was badly warped by the heat,
but the contents of the safe were not
damaged.
Mr. Richards does not know how to
account for the fire, but thinks it caught
from the electric wires. The door locks
had not been disturbed nor the wire
window screens broken. so 1t could not
have been a case of burglary.
Mr. Richards estimates his loss at be-
tween s3, 900 and $4,000. with insurance of
81 900 in one of the companies represented
by c. A. VanNess & Son.
The stock of Indian curios was one of
the largest in Oklahoma and many OF
the articles cannot be replaced.
There is a probability that a stroke OF
lightning may have caused the blaze.

of his men were killed. General Custer
with the remainder of his band retreated
and afterwards came back and buriei
their comrades after the latter had been

Indians invariably bury implements of
war with their dead. it is reasonable 10
suppose that this is where the battle
