IDAHO c1T1 IN AsnEs-Ioss s., ,0oo, 600.
Idaho City Was completely destroyed night
before last, by one Of the most destructive
hrea that has ever visited the mining regions
OF the western slope. The whole town Was
consumed from Bear Bun to Commercial
street, which is nearly to the foot Of Matn.
and from the BlGtf to Mo3;e'5 creek, leaving
nothing standing but few shantIea 6kirting
the town. The alarm WAS given at few
minutes before zen o'clock In the evening,
Whtn It WAS found that the upper story Of
hurdE gurdy dance house, In the rear Of the
City Hotel, was IN flames.
The tire WIG, without doubt, the work Of an
inetndiary, as the city had been fred several
different times within the last few days, but
each time, fortunately, discovered In season
TO be e1tingnfshed. The flames spread with
composed Of buildings made exclusively Of
pine lneh boards, and In some cases shakes,
covered with cotton lining and paper, to
which was added the usual intlammabfe coat
ing otlamp smoke 60 that 1t burned almost
nk tEain Of powder
It IS sstd that IN two hours from the time
The a!a:m was given, the whole burnt district
Was smoking feld Of ashes and clnders. It
Is said that all attempts to describe the con-
fusion and conformation of the peonle arr
ffu{tleas. The spread Of the fire Mas 50 r&p}d
that In the great majority Of instances there
Eas no tt4e to eaye anything from the wreck.
Aaotq 70 tac teiflole destruction Of property
Nas the most dise1a :eth system Of thieving
ard rnbbfng that can be Imagined. In fact,
It is generally y1believed that the fire was sci
tor the pRrposa Of p'uuder.
