Two “windy shots” were fired in mine No. 29, of the Rich Hill Coal Mining Cc, which caused much ex citement at the time, as it was thought a mine explosion would oc cur. Two men were in the mine but escaped without injury. A mule was killed, but the damage to the mine was slight, necessitating closing down only one day. News comes from Alaska by the latest sbip that a saloon keeper of Skaguay shot and killed threa men. That the wife of one of the murdered men died from the shoo, snd that the citizens committes hai the mur- derer in charge and would probably hang him.

Every democrat in town should take an interest in this matter, attend the convention, and see that a first-class ticket is named So far as this community is con cerned there is no need of defending the democracy of Thos. J. Smith. As a loyal democrat at all times and under all circumstances his fealty is above reproach. Judge Sam Levy will leave this week for the east.

JOE MEYER, The Clothier. Struck Oil and Gas, The latest sensation in Butler, is that both oil and gas has been struck in the well being drilled at Dr. Boulware’s residence in this city. Experts who have examined the con- tents taken from the bottom of the well claim the evidence of oil 1s un- mistakable and a lighted paper at the bottom of the well burns as brilliantly as an arc electric light, which, it is claimed, 1s evidence of the presence of gas. The well is now 180 or 190 feet deep but the strong flow of water prevents at the present time an investigation of the quantity of oil or flow of gas. The doctor is feeling quite jubilant over the bright prospects of a strong flow of gas and anticipates that he will soon be able to light aud heat city with natural gas.

Pittsburg, Kan., Feb. 8.—There are seven patients tonight at the home of F. M. Symmes to take the mad stone treatment, all having been | bitten to-day by the same dog.

The dog that caused so much | trouble wasa large yellow cur, and |took a course from near Girard } | through the country to this city and on to Kirkwood, two miles suuth of | this place, biting seven persons as | well as many horses and other dogs. | & bey at Lone Oak was bitten and his face terribly lacerated.
