ALMOST A FIRE-Some alarm was

ALMOST A FIRE.-Some alarm was
created on yesterday morning about s
O'Clock, by the cry of fire. A stove pipe
in the post office had been carelessly
thrust through an opening barely large
enough to admit it, and in burning LOT
of paper, the roof caught fire, as might
have been expected, and came near de.
stroying a large amount of property il
not the entire town. Timely assistance
succeeded in extinguishing the flames
without doing much damage.
This narrow escape ought to warn us
of the risks to which we are every day
exposed. There are no doubt many
stove pipes in the same condition as the
one in the post office. Heretofore when
many of the stoves were put up but lit
tie fire was needed, and therefore there
was little care taken to secure stove
pipes as there was little danger But
the cold weather has come, and doubt
less many persons are oblivious to the
fact of the insecurity in which they live,
or excuse themselves OH the plea of want
of time to make their rstove pipes secure
This criminal negligence should be
looked to and punished.
We have on more than one occasion
called attention to the dangers to which
we are exposed from fires. Any observ-
ing man by casting glance at the stove
pipes protruding from buildings in the
city, will see that we are not in want Of
an item and are not writing for effect.
Again, we say there is an ordinance
to protect the city from fire, which sae
be enforced. To show the officers and
citizens what their duties are, we publish
the ordinance in full, hoping cognizance
will be taken of it:
AN ORDINANCE to protect the City from Fre-The Trus
tees of the City of Nevada do ordain follows:

four inches between the pipe and PARTITION siding ceiling

UThree miners on their way home
to Gold Flat. were accosted by man
in disguise in the cut between Tilley's
Touring mill and the bridge on Pine
street, on Thursday night of last week,
between 10 and IL o'clock. The miners
heard the click of a pistol before meet
ing the supposed robber, and prepared to
give him warm reception, pugmis ct cal
cibus. AS the miners were walking along
in single file, the pad probably supposed,
meeting them in front, there was but
one. He changed his mind on coming
up and discovering the mistake, and
feigning drunkenness, was allowed to
escape.
