CALLED SOCIALISM
Turned Out to BE Anarchy Boiled
Down


A ranting street corner spieer
named Wilmot Eavenswortb, over
stepped his doctrine of socialism Sat
urday night, when he poured out a
vicious TRADE of abuse'i in his fragrant
open air speech, denouncing the
United States government, the various
forms of religious demonstrations and
what not. 1t is evident the man is a
harmless demagogue, still the villifica-
tions he heaped upon the American
republic;the country that offers him
freedom and the pursuit Of happiness,
was more than the limited patience of
Marshall Dornan could stand, SO he
forsooth carted the vitralic speaker to
the CITY bastile, when his aLarchistic
like utterances reached the acute
stage. A charge of disturbing the
peace and disorderly conduct was
placed against the apparent disciple of
Emma Goldman and Herr Most His
menacing remarks also brought COM
plants from business men and by
ISLANDERS. Ravensworth recently
hailed from Australia and it is said he
originally comes from Russia, the

tiagism He is now IA guest of Sheriff

Sunday, June 9th.

1T has been officially announced
by the Northwestern Railway Company
that the new train that was to have
been put on the first of the month
will run regular between this place
and Deadwood beginning Sunday.
June 9th The time card will be as
follows: Train leaves Deadwood at
600 d. N and will arrive at Hot
Springs, ll:35 a m. Returning will
leave this place at 4:25 p. m. and
arrive at Deadwood at $40 %. NJ.
The time of this train has been
arranged so AS to connect with the
Northwestern and Milwaukee, roads
east oui Of Rapid City This new
service will no doubt stimulate a
great deal of traffic from the Northern
Hills that we have never had hereto
fore.
y number of excursions it is an
nounced will be run by the North
western from eastern points in the
state Low rates will be made from
Brooklngs, Huron, Pierre and inter
mediate points, trains to arrive here
Saturday mornings and return
Monday evenings. At least two such

people will take advantage of the
low rates on each occasion. Now
that the weather has become more
settled, good crowds may be expected
to arrive here on every train and the
added service will no doubt be taxed

that after lapse of many years, the

a patient. 1t is presumed the exul-

mination of the romance was quietly
consumated, when the health of Mr..

RENO IMPFRlLED
BY $4,000 FIRE
THREE PERSONS ARE BURNED
IN BIG BLAZE
Sensational Developments Promised
as Result of Flames Twice Start
ing Among Mattresses in
Storeroom

RENO, New, May 15.-Fire entailing
loss of $4,000 today almost COM
pletely destroyed the Manning build
ing, one of Renos biggest business
structures.
For a time several other buildings in
the near vicinity were threatened, and
it was only through heroic work of vol
unteers who assisted the regular fire
department that the one building alone
was burned
AS a result of the fire, which lasted
more than four hours, sensational de-
Velopments are expected.
A fire was discovered in the base
ment of the building two hours before
the last alarm was turned in.
Mattresses stored in a secondhand
store were burning at that time. The
blaze was quenched, no sparks being
left to start another fire, declares the
fire chief.
The last fire, which destroyed the
building, started in the same pile of
mattresses. An investigation is being
made.
A fire in the residence district of
Reno early this morning almost total
ly destroyed one residence, badly
scorched another and burned three peo-
pie so badly that they are now in the
hospital.
The wind, which had been blowing at
a high rate for the past twenty-four
hours, rendered the playing of water
on both fires almost impossible.
Those seriously burned were Mrs.
Fred Robinson. Mrs. Robinson's son,
aged years, and w. F. Sickles.
These three were on fire escapes on
the second floor and were obliged to
rush down a blazing stairway.
