FATHER WILL NOT PAY.
School Girl Who Assaulted Boy |.
Technically "Servinu Time"

cCnnlCdIly 0CIVIUQ ilHlc.
Because her father refused to pay
the fine and costs imposed upon her
for assault on a small boy whom she
alleges insulted her, Belle Hare, a
young girl now is serving time" by
living at the home of City Marshal
Morris, being technically ip his custo-
dy. and attending school. The case
created sensation in Centerville, and
the people of that place still are divld-
ed into two hostile camps.
The plaintiff was Mrs. HickcoX, who
charged that the girl had slapped and
otherwise assaulted her little son,
Rufus 1t was alleged that the boy was
using insulting language to the girl.
The formal charge upon which the girl
was arrested was assault and battery.
Her attorney, when the case was
called, demanded a jury trial, and six
of the leading citizens of Centerville
were summoned.
So far as the simple complaint of as
sault and battery was concerned, the
defendant practically convicted her
self, but the apparent causes leading
up to the punishment of the boy led
the Jurors to hesitate in rendering a
verdict After celebrating over the
case for many hours, the jury returned
a verdict of guilty, recommending
mercy" Judge Dwyer imposed fine
of SIS and costs, amounting in all to
$50, or twenty days in jail.

County Board Offers Reward in A.
bert Hanson Case.
The board Of county commission
ers Of Day county has been asked
to issue a reward for information re-
gardlng the whereabouts of Albert
Hanson, for years resident Of Pier
pont, who disappeared last fall I'M
der mysterious circumstances.
At the time of the disappearance
on Oct. 5 last Hanson had about $500
in cash on his person. He said he
was going to Webster, the county
seat, to pay for a team he had pur-
chased, and to purchase another team
to take with him on contemplated
journey to his homestead in the re-
gion between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills.
That evening Hanson was seen by
several citizens of Webster who knew
him. That was the last seen Of him
His team afterward was discovered in
the barn Of Dr. Judge, where he had
placed the animals.
About the time Of Hanson's disap'
pearance the bodies Of two transients
were found in straw stack near Bris
toll, with numerous bullet holes in
them, and it Is feared Hanson may
also have been murdered, but the
failure to find his body has led his
relatives to hope that he still is alive

FIRE IN HoMEsTAkE MINE.
Famous Black Hills Mine a Blazing
Furnace,

Famous Black Hills Mine a Blazing
Furnace.
The Homestake mine is on fire, ana
for twenty-four hours a desperate fight
has been waged against the steadily
increasing flames. The worst of the
situation is that the battle has been
fought practically in the dark, as at no
I time, owing to the gas and the smoke,
have men been able to approach sufti-
GENTLY near to determine the exact To-
/, cation of the flames
| When the night shift went on flames
were discovered near the 500-foot level
and the alarm was given. The mine
| is we'll equipped with fire apparatus
and plenty of water, and Tor time no
serious damage was expected.
All night long men fought the flames
until, overcome by gas and smoke,
! they were carried out unconscious. At
| an early hour in the morning the dry
| house was turned into an emergency
hospital, as the company hospital was
| full to overlooking. Between and 10
o'clock in the 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
| Engineer Blackstone ordered every
man out of the mine. Since then at
tempts to deal with the flames have
been confined to turning several
streams of water into the open cut,
which connects directly with the 800
foot level. From there the water will
soon find it's way to the fire.
1t is thought that the fire originated
| rom blasting out some old timber, as
the blaze is located near the 50O-foot
| Jewel, where such work was being
done. Just where the fire is or over
how great an area it has extended is
not known. On the 500-foot level there
is an immense bull1head, and the dang
er now is that the flames may reach it,
from whence the fire would spread
rapidly to the other levels, as the tim
Der is old and of pine.
| So far there have been no fatalities.
Even the company's horses and mules,
kept in a stable on the 500-foot level,
were brought out in safety. Not man
is in the mines and efforts are being
made to keep the mills running by ore
from the open cuts.
1t is impossible to estimate now the
amount of damage which may be
| caused.

MAN NEARLY GROUND UP.
Slips and Falls Into Hopper Of Big Ore
Mill

While visiting the plant of the
Homestake Mining company at Lead,
Fred Johnston of Spearfish had ter
rifying experience and narrowly es-
capped meeting horrible death. He
entered one of the mills, where, unable
to see we'll because of the darkness,
he missed his footing and slid down
one of the ore chutes into mammoth
hopper, such as are used in the mill
for crushing up huge pieces of rock.
The hopper is constructed on the same
principle as a coffee mill, but is of gil
gantic size, and it grinds up the large
pieces of rock as though they were
made Of packed dirt. Johnston fully
expected to be ground to pieces in the
moving mass of rocks, but by hard
work succeeded in making his way
out of the moving mass. However, he
was injured to such an extent that it
was necessary to send him to the hos
