THE FIREBUG ESCAPED.
Bat Cor. (he Officer, Me Wonld Hn
Roasted Four 'Families.
, An incendiary fire, attended with numerous
accidents, occurred at an early hour the other
morning at 378 State street, Chicago. At about
three o'clock a policeman saw a man throw a
bundle of biasing atraw into the window of
Frank Beaumont's shooting gallery, in the
basement ot the building. The officer caught
the firebug as he ran away, and attempted to
hold him. The biasing bundle of straw had
set fire to the building, and as the officer de
sired to turn in an alarm us speedily as pos
sible, he dragged the man toward a fire-alarm
box. The man struggled desperately, and
finally slipped from the officer's grasp and
made his escape. When the fireman reached
the burning building the basement was in a
sheet of flame. Pipeman Thomas Dougherty
was among the first to be ordered into the
building. He was overcome by the heat, and
was carried out. Four families were living
in the upper floors, and they fled precipitately
in -their night clothes. Next door, at 380 State
street, is a clothing store, over which are the
living-rooms of U. F. Livingston and his
araify. Tne stifling smoke bad entered this
building, and when the fireman broke in the
doors they found nine persons lying uncon
scious in their beds. They were U. F. Liv
ingston and his wite Sophia; their children,
Eddie and Edith, aged bcvh and two yearn
respectively; Mrs. Peck, Miss Olga reck,
Miss Currie Houseman, Mrs. Frank Beau

The Brntnl Outrage Perpetrated by In
dian Scout Upon Kansas Hunter.
A story of'brutal outrage perpetrated by
Indian scouts clothed with authority to oust
all trespassers on 'the Cherokee Strip comes .
from Ilunnewell, Kan. " ,- :
Threedays ago a party, of hunters, consist-.,
ing of Perry Stone, T. CrBoynton, Alexander
Askew and H. Hoagland, left Ashland for the
strip. They camped some 43 miles south of.
Ilunnewell. Abuut daybreak a party Of.
or 12 Indian scouts swoope I down upon the -camp
and without further ado tore the tents
down over the inmates and et to work de
stroying the camp. ;
"Neither expostulation nor the .information
that the hunters held a permit Worn deputy
United States ninr-ihall was of any avail. The
leader of the scouts would listen to nothing,
and ordered the alleged trespassers to be gone,
adding that their guns and other effects were
confiscated to the government.
Incensed at such brutality, the hunters re
fused to move. This served but to aronse the
cruelty of the scouts, and alter first searching
victims to see that tny had no concealed
weapnw the scouts placed around the waist of
each a' lariat, an 1, mounting their horses,
' started off, dragging their prisoners behind
them ntsuch a gait that ii was impossible at
times for them to keep on their feet. In this
way were the four Kansans conducted to
Ilunnewell, 40 miles distant, without water or
tood, being released oiy wneu in sight o'the
border town, where the p;irty galloped away.
The vi' tinisof the outrage dragged them
selves into Ilunnewell and now lie in a pre

there have been no serious results to general 1
