pie Took Part In Lynching.

A special dispatch from Waxahachie,
Texas, tells OF the burning Thursday
night OF Steve Davis, a young negro,
who confessed to outraging Mrs. ). 4,
Norris, aged 20, last Saturday night.
A mob consisting of $500 persons tied
the negro to a piece of gas pipe that had
been set in the ground, piled fagots
around him and set the mass on fire.
The sufferings Of the negro were of short
duration owing to the fierceness of the
fire, which was famed by a gale of wind
which blew across the prairie. The hus-
band OF the woman is said to have set the
match to the finder and started the blaze
that consumed the negro.
Davis was arrested last Tuesday and
taken before the woman, who failed TO
identify him. Afterwards she identified
him and his fate was sealed. The negro
finally confessed, detailing the crime.
This is the third negro that has been
burned in that section Of Texas in a
short time.

MANIA FOR LEAVING HOME.
Deadwood Girl Has Wandering Fee
YER Every Year.

Grace, the 10year-old daughter of
Mrs. Mamie Stringer, of Deadwood, has
a yearly mania for leaving home. Every
year since she was 4 years old she has
left home at about this time, and has
sometimes remained away for several
days. One time she traversed the entire
distance between Sturgis and Dead
wood.
Last Sunday she made her annual dis
appearance and has not yet been found.
Although the mother is anxious, no espe-
cial alarm is felt concerning the child.
and it is thought probable that she will
be located within a short time, either in
Deadwood or in its immediate outskirts.

or not, Inspector Ramsey, representing

findings to the department Of animal in

that the bureau has carefully c~onsiderat
the question of placing the entire state

requiring all cattle to be dipped, but as
the state board has already promulgated

There are eighteen counties in the quar-

RussiA's TROUBLES
News From RAku OF the Gloomiest
Character.

Private advices from Baku received in
st. Petersburg Wednesday say 1.-THE
Black town" district Of that city is still
burning; also the works at Balakhan, BIZ
biecat. Nomani and Cabunto. The losses
amount TO millions of roubtes.
There was only desultory fighting up to
Tuesday evening, but the disturbances
were marked by immense property loss
es which fall with crushing weight on
the Russian oil industry conferred at Ba-
ku. The torch was resorted to, as the
result Of which hundreds of tanks of oil
and naphtha and a number of important
refineries in Baku and its vicinity were
burned.
The news from Baku is of the gloom
lest character. The Armenians and Tar
tar warning factions now appear to be
entirely beyond control. The streets Of
Baku seem to be unsafe for the inhabit-
ants, and the force of troops to be made
quate to restrain the anarchical tenden-
cies OF the combatants in the surrounding
region. According to reliable reports the
troops have been forced TO withdraw
from the suburb of Balakahan, where On
Tuesday the rioters set fire to the oil
works, and that place is now in the hands
of the Tartars, who have completed the
work Of destruction, and who it is said
massacred the inhabitants who did not
accompany the troops in their retirement.
Telephone and railroad communication
between Baku and the suburban oil CEN
tiers is cut.
The viceroy of the Caucasus had dis
patched reinforcements of troops from
Tifis, but owing to the conditions
throughout the whole southern part of
the Caucasus with these reinforcements
the troops will be inadequate to cope
with the situation. In the suburban re-
gion the fight is desperate and the soldiers
are using artillery.
