BURNING AMMUNITION
Rapid City Firemen Fight Fire
Under Dangerous Cir
cumstances

Rapid City, April 2.-For more than
an hour this morning the members OF
the Rapid City fire department fought
flames which were slowly eating their
way through the business block al
tine corner of st. Joe and Sixth street,
while about them rained a shower OF
bullets and shot from a stock of am
munitior carried by Francis M. Roush,
in whose store the fire started.
Fl. Warren Brooks, a member OF
the Gate City Hose company, discov
cred the presence OF the fire about half
past II last night. The entire fire de-
partment was sounded, bat was unable
to get water on the fire until an hour
later, when a stream was turned into
the Roush store.
Soon the big plate glass windows
cracked and fell and a draft convert
ed the entire interior of the store into
a mass of flames. As soon as the fife
reached the stock of ammunition a
fusillade began which sent bystanders
scurry ing to places of safety. The
cartridge bullets and shot from gun
shells whizzed about and in face of this
the fremen worked until the flames
were controlled. Several tenants in
n arby buildings removed their goods.
The Holcomb block is a total loss.
Its value is placed at 81, 600. RouFh's
stock Of about S. 600, is insured for
SO, 600.

TROUT FISHING
Black Hills Sportsmen Greet the
Open Season for Game
Fish

Rapid City, April Fishing.
Trout fishing. The melting SHOWS in
the hills and creek bottoms, the warm
sun, the robins c%hirping in the trees,
together with lavish displays of all
sorts of things that are new and up
ro-date in tackle, has brought the
sportsmen to a realization of the fact
that today begins the open season for
his favorite pastime. superintendent
Grary, of the Rapid Canyon line, has
issued his summer time table with a
view to the accommodation of those
who desire to try theiI luck in Rapid
creek waters. Indications are that
this season will be a record breaker
along all the Black Hills streams.
and especially on Rapid creek. For
several years large quantities Of small
trout have been planted annually and
there have been no floods to carry them
away. Late last fall many big fish
were seen moving up the smaller tribu-
taries Of Rapid creek to the spawning
grounds.
For a time bait fishing will have
to satisfy the enthusiast and for a
month trout will take the ordinary
angle worn quite readily. A better
bait and one which ensures an almost
certain kill are the grubs found about
the stumps of dead pine trees or in
pine logs which have become rotten
and punkey. Early fishing, however,
is MT as enjoyable as later for the
reason that the tout are logy and
Shiny from their long period of lying
quiet in deep boles during the win
ter season. For a time the stream
will be running snow water and this
does not tend TO make trout ganIey
or eager to take a lure.

BIRDS AS POLICE
They Search the Air and the
Earth for Enemies of
Man

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton says that when birds are permitted
to labor undisturbed they thoroughly
police both earth and air. The thrush
IS, sparrows, lsrks and wren search
the surface of the earth for insects and
their larvae, or hunt among the leaves
and peer under logs and refuse for
them. The warblers, vireos, Creepels
and nuthatches, with their microscopic
eyes, scan every part of the tree or
shrub-trunk, branches and leavef-
and few hidden creatures escape
them. The woodpeckers. not content
with carefully scrutinizing the bark
and limbs of trees, dig into the de-
cayed and worm eaten wood and drag
forth the %burrowing larvae which 10
their hidden retreats are safe from
other enemies. The fycatchers. aided
by the warblers, are eve on the
alert to snap up insects when flying
among trees and branches; while the
swallows and nighthawks skim over
the pastures aud patrol the high air
above the trees for such of the enemies
as have escaped pursuit below. Thus
each bird family plays it's part in the
never. ending warfare, and the number
of insects annually consumed by the
combined hosts is simply incalculable.
1t is we'll that this is 80, for so vast is
the number of insects and so great is
the quantity of vegetation required
for their subsistence that the exist.
