from large frame building on Sacramento

fire was promptly ex,ineuished without much
damage being done. The house was within
few doors of where the disastrous fire of

This is the second fire alarm in that part
of the town within few weeks, and it being
compactly built with houses mostly frame, a
contlagraion would readily ensue if the
