Fire at CastleWood, S. D.

WATERFOWL, s, D., Jan. 5.-The
town of Castlewood, eighteen miles
south of here, narrowly missed being
wiped out by fire last evening during
n heavy wind.
The entire south side of Main street
Is in ashes and the loss Is estimated
Mt $lSO,000 with about half insurance.
Twelve buildings are Quilted and the
fire did not stop until the last build
ing on the side of the street was de-
stroyed The fire started in Miller S
hardware store and being famed by
high wind spread rapidly. Ten min
utes after the fire started two build
ings were in ashes and the entire
block threatened A message came
to this city asking for aid and thirty
men with fire apparatus responded on
a special train. At one time it was
feared the entire business district
would be destroyed. When four build
ings were gone an attempt was made
to check the flames by dynamiting
two stores but the wind carried the
flames on and they continued to
spread At late hour the fire burn
ed itself out on the extreme edge of
Main street. The principal losses are
as follows:
Miller hardware store $4,000, New
tons clothing store 100000, Shank's
jewelry store $4,000; Hollis general
store $4,000, Benefits harness shop
implement sheds and office $4,000.
The origin of the fire is not known
Several persons had narrow escapes
from injury and others are suffering
with frozen hands as a result of their
work fighting the flames.

Strike Caused Davis Death.

Madison Post: Fred II. Davis re-
turned Wednesday night from Orleans,
where he went to assist in the last
sad rites over the remains of his
brother George w. Davis, who died
at Missoula, Mont, last week.
The sad story of the manner in
which Winnie went to his death is
indeed pathetic and though he has
gone from the world for all time yet
his memory will be revered as a hero
who died at his post in faithful at
tendance upon the duties imposed up.
on him by his employers.
Winnie was a fast freight conductor
on the Milwaukee west out of Butte
and it was while in his way car or
caboose that he sank down and died
as a result of overwork and eXhaus-
ton. For sometime the railroads in
the west have been affected by strike
of switchmen and as result the roads
were operated under the most trying
circumstances This condition was
made doubly worse by reason of the
intense cold. For eight days previous
to his death Winnie had been con-
stantly in charge of his train doubling
his division just as often as possible.
He had no rest except a short nap
now and then which he took between
stations. During those eight days he
had not seen his wife but made his
home on his car. He worked day in
and day out without complaining and
although sick would not give up. His
crew heard no complaint neither did
any of his employers and until his
death no one knew the intense strain
and suffering he underwent, 1t is
thought that the immediate cause of
his death was acute pneumonia being
brought on by exposure and eXhaus.

GRANTED A SWEAR DIVORCE.
Lawyers Say There Is No Precedent
for an Indiana Decree.

Chicago Jan. 6.-What was dubbed
trial divorce" by Chicago lawyers,
was granted at Hammond, Ind, yester-
day by Judge V. S. Richter in the Lake
county superior court. Some of the
attorneys who learned of the unusual
divorce declared the court had no
precedent for his action and that the
restrictions imposed could not be held
to be binding under the laws of In
diana.
Judge Richter termed his new form
of separation a limited divorce By
the terms of the decree Mr.. and Mrs.
William Wohole are divorced for five
years, after which they may live to-
gether if they desire. If, in the mean
time, they wish to re-wed they will be
unable to do so.
The question arises whether, in the
five years period, the couple should
go outside of the state and re-wed, and
then decide to get a divorce again
after the expiration of the period they
would have to get two divorces to be
legally separated.

WHAT WILL SMITH THINK OF 1T?

farmer-inventor of flying machine,

that his machine is a success and will

leaving for his home to spend the holt
days, will probably not feel so conf.

tiiic American has to say about flying
machines. Mr.. Smith has assured
number of people here that he will
make his trial flight in Norfolk on
January 10. Sometime ago he made

Who Wants a Baby Boy?

Does anybody want this boy baby?
The child was born yesterday to a
woman who has been employed in the
Calumet restaurant kitchen for some
time, and whose husband deserted her
three months after marriage. The
husband is said to have lived formerly
at Tilden.
The babes mother, a very young
woman, has no money with which to
take care of the child. Charity contri-
buttons are needed in the way of gar
ments, etc, for the little day-old infant.
Money is needed, until a home for the
little one can be found. The first con-
tribution in the way of provisions was
made during the day.
The mother, who has been a con
scientious worker at the cafe, is alone

in railway accident and her mother
died three months later. She married
and her husband abandoned her, leav-
ing her destitute and i'll.

ODDS FAVOR JEFFRlES NOW.
But Many Believe That johnson Will
be the Choice July 4.

New York, Jan. 6.-There must be
a whole lot of loose money in the
sporting world after all. We haven't
seen any of it, but there must be
some just the same. There are some
sporting men willing right now to tie
up money away up in the thousands
on that Jeffries and Johnson fight,
which is more than six months off.
CincinnatianS have started the big
money talk and early quotations make
Jeffries a nine to ten favorite. Henry
Berry, who is now in the city on the
Rhine and when he is home
at Los Angles, Cal, is referred to as
the owner of the baseball club of that
city has 1000 he has no use for for
some time and he is willing to let it
rest up as a bet against $4,000 that
the white man will be returned victor
in that Fourth of July scrap. To date
he has found no takers and this might
serve as a tip to Baron wilkins and
his list of subscribers to that 10000
fund that is leing raised to bet on
Johnson.
Out on the coast the other day a
bet of $500 to $500 on Jeffries was Pc
corded, but the bettors and the stake
holder were not named because they
do not care about flirting with that
anti-betting law which is now on the
statute books in California. There
have been many more bets made out
in the Golden States, but they have
been kept under cover. In every one
Jeffries has been the ruling favorite,
but the opinion of the unprejudiced is
that before Independence day the neg

his favor is growing steadily and it
would be no surprise to see him go

EVER HOLD A HAND LIKE THIS?
A Double Chicane in Topeka Game
Of Bridge.

Topeka. Jan. 6. - Topeka bridge
players are very much interested in
a bridge hand dealt at one of the clubs
a few days ago, none of them having
seen anything similar to it hereto
fore, The dealer picked up his hand
finding seven hearts with two honors.
OF course, he Immediately made it
hearts" His partner in laying down
his hand, remarked with smile:
Partner, ! certainly should have
made it the same"
He showed on the table the other
six hearts with three honors. This
gave the opposition a double chicane,
something that had never been held
in that club before.
But the remainder of the hand was
also unusual. The makers, with all
the thirteen trumps in their hands,
made only the odd. The opposition
held all the remaining aces and kings
and so divided that not a makers
trump could be used.
