stand, through the lower part OF the city as soon
as they can be cast and brought upon the ground'
when the whole city may be placed in position
of safety.
There is the sum of one thousand dollars,
mors or less on deposit at one OF our banking
bouses which has been collected by the patriotic
and public spirited ladies of the city for the pur-
poss of protection against fire. That sum may
now be appropriately used for the purchase of
hose, and the sooner the purchase is made the
better. There should be no delay. The destruct-
i've FIRE two years ago occurred in the month of
May.
The city Trustees should proceed to make i'm

the Nevada Water Company, such as will secure
the use of abundant water to meet every public
necessity. We hope the proper steps will be ia
ken at once and without any procrastinatlon.
At the instigation of several prominent citi-

the Court House Saturday tomorrow eve

finally prevailed on the Judge to employ

He remained with Judge Mason until the

He processes TO have the most unbounded

proof to ubstantiate the charges on which ne

clearly established. We are inclined to think
that Bob is singular in this belief
