CAUSED LOSS OF OYER $1,000

Fire Sunday Night Destroys Old Cold
Storage Building Owned by Fritz
Schieuning.
A fire which started in a mysterious
manner Sunday evening, destroyed
the old cold storage building, causing
a loss of about 81, 500 to Fritz Schleun-
ing, the owner. The building was in
sured for $500. Under the impression
that the fire was of incendiary origin,
an investigation has been carried on.
AS the building has been empty for
some time, parties for want of a bet
ter place, have occupied it as sleeping
quarters contrary to the wishes of the
owner who has repeatedly fastened
the doors. OF late an old man known
as "Fred" has been sleeping in the
building. He was seen in the vicini-
ty shortly before the fire.
The building was built several years
ago by the letter Brewing company
as a storage and warehouse for liq-
uors, more recently occupied by the
Barker Brothers.

Black Hills Weather.

Spearfsh Enterprise: "The fall of
1909 will serve we'll as an example of
what benign nature can do in the
line of beautiful autumn weather
whenshe really sets, herself about it.
Here in the Spearfish valley, although
the calendar marks the first week in
November-a season when all dwell
lers in this latitude expect cold wea-
ther, snow and winter storms, the
ground is as bare and dry, and the
wind almost as balmy, as they were
in June. Were it not for the frost
that came the fore part of October
to kill the too persistent vegetation,
one would not know, to look over the
surrounding hills and wales, whether
the season might be summer or au-
tumn.
"There have been, up to this time,
only few nights of frost. No snow
whatever has fallen in this locality,
though there has been slight fall in
the hills. And there has been scarce.
ly a day cold enough to make an over.
coat necessity. Instead of the cold
bleak days that usually come in the
eastern states at this time of the
year, we have enjoyed bright sun
shine and soft caressing breezes. The
air, pure and bracing, but not cold,
fills the lungs with health and vigor
the eye with lustre and the heart
with hope.
eve do not know how much longer
this kind of weather will last; old set
tier say it is not improbable that it
may continue up to and past the hol
idays. But even if should end now
there has been at least six weeks
shorn from the front end of winter
And the man who would kick at thi.
sort of treatment would be hard t.
please.
"And still some people go away
from the Black Hills country to look
for better climate. Vain, vair
quest. California may be hotter, Ar
iona dryer, but nowhere can you
beat the Hills country for pure ali
and sunshine"
