THE HORSE THIEVES AGAIN-The
horse thieves from whom the citizens of
COppei recaptured the stolen horses last
week made another visit to that neigh
bOrbool and the Touchet, upon the follow
ing evening and stole some five or six
horses. We are told that the villains sent
word back to the people that they had sto-
len their horses and had them across
Snake river, where-seven in number
they were prepared, with three revolvers
each, to hold possession of them, and de-
fed the people to come after them. But
the twenty-one revolvers, it seems did not
frighten the owners out of making an eff
fort to recover their property, and they
went and got their horses, together with
some Others that had been stolen; but un-
fortunately they did not find the thieves,
of whom, under the circumstances, they
would most likely have made an exam
pie" This daredevil style adopted by
these 'road agents" deserves a summary
punishment, and it is most sincerely to be
hoped that they will receive it.

as true a specimen Of his class as the Nor

FIRE.-A fire occurred in this city at o'clock
on Thursday morning last, which for time
threatened to destroy the whole upper part of
the city, and but for the timely labor of goody
number of citizens who formed themselves into a
"bucket company" and worked like heroes, it
would have done so. The fire was undoubtedly
the work of an incendiary, and was set to a pile
OF cumbustbe rubbish in the rear of Kyger &
Reeses fre-proof brick store. When discovered,
the fire was rapidly making its way toward the
adjoining buildings, the flames shooting up to the
top of the store and curling in at window, the
iron shutters of which had for the first time been
left unclosed on that night. The heat from the
burning rubbish so intense that the iron doors
were made red hot in a few minutes The only
damage done was the burning of the porch and
the sash and casing of the window that had been
left open. The engine was promptly hauled to
the scene of cOnfqgratiOn by three or four men,
and only gave evidence that engine without
an organized company to manage it is worse than
no engine at all for it only serves to prevent
macy men from working at a fire who might
otherwise render valuable assistance. The I'M
portance Of having a well organized and drilled
fire company mere must now be apparent TO ev-
cry citizen but until such is the case, every one
on going to fire should take bucket with him.
We learn that suspicion rests upon certain in
dividual as the incenuiary, who will hereafter be
closely watched.
