A BARN BURNED.

The large hay barn belonging to Thomas L. Craig, which stood on the opposite side of the road from his house and several rods east, was burned to the ground, last Monday af- ternoon, with all it's contents. A Hun garian man. known by the name of Joe Cole who 1t is supposed went out to the barn and lay down and went to sleep smoking a pipe which must have set fire to the building. He managed to get out of the burning barn, but he was so badly burned that when he reached the road he dropped dead. Undertaken Bishop from Bridgeport came up Tuesday morning and took the body to that city. Mir Craig loses be- sides the barn, several tons of hay and a few tons of straw. Most of the farm machinery which was under the sheds at each end of the barn was saved by the few neighbors who were at the fire. MT Craig was in, Bridgeport and did not know of the fire until the barn was burned to the ground. His loss will be about $l,O0O. There was small in- surance.

HARRY HAZARD,
JAIL BREAKER,
Is RECAPTURED

Bonesteel, S. D., July 24.-Last night
o telegram was received by Sheriff Nc

tody of the officers of that town and
refused to be taken from the state with
out requisition papers. Requisition was
Immediately granted and Deputy Sher-

Hazard had his preliminary hearing at
Dallas a short time after his arrest and
was bound over to the next term of cir

and In default of bail was committed
to the county jail at Fairfax. Last Fri
day night being very warm Deputy
Sheriff Morrisey did not lock the pris-
oner In the cell. but allowed him to be
out I'm the jail room, and during the
night Hazard in some way succeeded
i'm prying off the lock of the outer door
and made his escape. He will now be
tried for jail breaking as well as horse
stealing. Hazard formerly lived In
Newport, where his parents now re-
side, and Is a young man who prior to
this time has borne a good reputation,
