CHILDREN FIGHT.
Parker Young Woman il
Trouble for Slapping a
Boy.

Parker, March 27.-Perhaps the most
remarkable case tried in court in
South Dakota for many months has
been disposed of by the court of Judge
Dwyer, of CenteIville.
The defendant in the case was Belle
Hare, young girl, whose parents are
among the most prominent residents in
Centerville. The plaintiff was Mrs.
Hickcox, who charged that the girl had
slapped and otherwise assaulted her
little son, Rufus. it appears that the
boy was using insulting language to
the girl, and that because of this she
undertook 10 administer punishment to
him.
The formal charge upon which the
girl was arrested was assault and bat
terry. Her attorney, when the case was
called, demanded jury trial, and six
of the leading citizens of Centerville
were summoned as jdry. So far as
the simple complaint of assault and
battery was coacerned tue defendent
convicted rerse,f, but the apparent

rendering a verdict.
After celebrating over the case for
many hours the jury returned verdict
of guilty, recommending mercy.
Judge Dwyef imposed fine of rs and
costs, amounting in all to 5000, or
twenty days in Jail. The girls father,
doubtless disples sed with the nature OF
the punish ment imposed upon his
daughte', refused to pay the fhe and
costs, and the gill now is serving
ime' by living a. the home of City
Marshal Morris, being technically in
his custody, and attending school.
TIE case created genuine sensation
in Cente.ville, aud the people of that
place were divided into two hostile
camps, part sympsthizing with the
girl and declaring that she did right
in Furnishing the boy, while others de-
ella red that she had no right to take the
law into her own lands.

FIERCE FIRE.
Raging in the Homestake Mine
at Deadwood Overcome
by Gas.

Deadwood, March 81. The Home
stake mine is on fire and for twenty
four hours desperate fight has been
waged against the steadily increasing
flame. The worst of the situation is
that the battle has to be fought prac-
tically in the dark, as at no time, ow-
ing to the gas and the smoke. have the
men been able to approach sufficiently
near even to determine the exact loca-
tion of the flames.
Last night when the night shift went
on flames were discovered near the 500
foot level, and the alarm of fire was at
once turned in The mine is well
equipped with fire apparatus and plenty
of water, and for time nothing seri
Gus was expected. All night long men
fought the flames until overcome by the
deadly gas and smoke, and they were
carried out unconscious.
AT an early hour this morning the
dry house was turned into an emerg
ency hospital, as the company hospital
was full to overfowing Between 8
and II o clock this morning nearly 100
men were cared for by the physicians,
and fully 200 in all were overcome.
An effort was made to drive back the
gas by compressed air and water, but
it failed, and little before noon En-
gineer Blackstone ordered every man
out of the mine. Since then the at
tempt to deal with the flames has been
confined to turning several streams of
water into the open cut which connects
directly with the 300 foot level
From there the water will s on find
its way to the fire. 1t is the ught that
the fire originated from blasting out
some old timber yesterday afternoon,
as it is located near the 500 foot level
where such work was being done.
Just where the fire is or over how
great an area it has extended no one
knows. Cn the 500 foot level is an
immense bulkhead, and the danger now
is that the flames may reach this, from
where they would readily spread to the
other levels, as the timbers are old and
of pine.
All afternoon the smoke and gas
have been coming out of the shafts
with one exception, SO that it was i'm
possible for anyone to descend, but SO
far there avs been no fatalities Even
the company's horses and mules, kept
in stable on the 500-foot level, wsIe
brought out in safety.

Sioux Falls. March q. 7.-Notwith-
