Mnixling directly across Sherman street
from the north end of the board of
trade building. The first lloor was oc-
cupied asa saloon by II. Hupoel and
lloors above were ud as a cheap
. lmtol and rooming house by August
.Michael. The fire was started by an
explosion in I lappel's saloon and inside
of a minute the whole lower front por-
Hon of the building was a mass ol
Hii.mpv The inmates never hail the
slightest ehance of escape for the
only door by which entrance was hail
to the hotel was in front and close to
tlit'Milno! door. The llames blocked
that means of escape at once
Michael and his wife occupied the
upper portion of the third lloor and
they were at the windows calling for
help in a frantic manner when the
(list iiremen arrived. Unfortunately
this was not a truck and thinking his
ehance of life would be gone hi i.i-
. other minute if lie lingered in the
building .Michael sprang from the
third story to the pavement below.
His left arm was brokeu and he
sustained internal injuries. A sec-
ond after .Michael hit the sidewalk
and befoie the llremen had lifted
him. another form sprang from the
third story and came down on the
pavement with a crash. It was a man
nnd lie was alive but unconscious
lien carried to the hospital. .Mrs.
.Michael stuck to her window and was
carried down by the llremen as was
her little girl who remained with her.

broken ulass. but was not badly hurt.
The Hie was quickly extinguished

in search of more victims. One dead
man whs found in a front. mom uud two

other daughter of Michael and in the
other rooms and in the hallways live
other men. Ono of them was said to

TmxiDM) Col. May 11. A terrible
gas explosion oceurod early yesterday
morning at I o'clock in the mine of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. at
Soprls which resulted in tho instant
death of four persons and the injury of
two others. The positions of all the
l)dies when found showed that the
men were at work when the explosion
occurred. They wore lying across the
track near the car which they had been
using and evidently met their fate
while unwarned of any danger. They
were all badly burned and blackened
from the explosion. It is thought that
the lire originated in the accumula-
tion of coal gas and ignited from a
miner's lamp as none of the mines in
this region has ever been troubled
with gas and the ventilation of the
mine is good. Had the explosion oc-
curred during tho daytime when the
men were all at work the results
would have boon frightful as ordi-
narily there are from :.')() to .100 men
employed in tho mines.

Dickson at Pine Kid go. S. 1) . has re-

chief has been arrested on a charge
of bigamy and released on bail pend-
ing trial. The agont recommends that
stein lie taken to stop the proceed-
ings which he regards as the first iu
a series of like arrests. All the older
Indian chiefs have had several wives
for forty years nnd more and no one
has ever ilreumcl of Interfering le-
fore. The Impression prevails In the
Indian office that the arrest of Ameri-
can Horse is a part of a general plan
of which the recent Turtle mountain
disturbances were a part to trump up
cases against Indians and secure fees
for the I'liitcd States deputy mnr'-hals
who mukc the arrests.
