Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1869-08-20

last evening a hire broke out IL d lisus
dilapidated building at the intersection
of L and Taylor streets, Virginia. The
alarm was Immediately given and th'
entire Fire Department with their ma
chimes were quickly on hand. Washoe
No. 4 got the FIRST water on, and bao
not the hose burst directly, the spread
of the FIRE would have been effsctually
checked as far AS St. Paul's Church,
within 20 feet Of the FIRE was concerned
As 1t was, the church got pretty badly
seorched on the south side, and the
whole upper part Of the belfry and
spire above the bell deck was destroyed,
only the frame beiug left standing. Con-
siderable damage was also done to the
pew furniture, carpets and other interior
arrangements by water. The small one
story dwelling adjoining the FIRE on the
south, occupied by W. T. O'Neil, was
also totally destroyed, but the contents
and furniture were saved, with the ex-
ceptiou OF n bedstead. DR.. Killers
residence also got n severe scorching,
and was on fire several times, but
through the strenuous and we'll directed
ex~ertions of the fremen it was saved.
The two little buildings destroyed were
the property Of u Mrs. Brown, of San
| Francisco, and the loss not very heavy,
as the one where the FIRE originated was
in the middle of the street. 1t was
doubtless set on fire by some mischief
making scopndrel. We never saw the
Virginia 6remen work more e~ffectually
or with q better will. The machines
were all in good order, and were played
for all they were worth. The Hooks also
rendered very efficient service. The
boys fought the fire with perfect des-
peration, Johnny Lee, I'd Assistant OF
No. 1, with Harry Aine, and one or tive
others, even getting upon the roof ofthe
church, but u scarcity Of water prevail.
ing just then, the fire drove them down.
Chief Fox managed this fire to perfec-
ton, and is deserving Of great credit
therefor.
ANOTHER GoLp Hill RoBBERy.-Last
Tuesday night the stock of jewelrY be-
longing to J.. T. Welton, the well
known matchmaker and jeweler in Flagg
& Co.'s bank and broker Office, Main
street, Gold Hill, was extensively
robbed. Mr.. Welton went on u visit
East some Eve weeks ago, leaving his
entire business in the hands of one
Lawrence Robert, aud is now on his re.
turn, being expected here tomorrow
morning. This Robert, when he closed
business rs usual last Tuesday evening,
concluded TO go through the concern,
so he packed up and carried off nj! the
watches, both those for sale and those
belonging 20 customers, which were left
with him for repairs or regulating, also
all the articles in the show case worth
stealing. Not making his appearance
the next day, those in the brokers' Of
flee thought strange Of it, and noticing
n scarcity of jewelry in connection with
his absence, gave information to the
proper officers, and they are working up
the case, with what success remains to
be seen. Robert is still among the
missing, but some of the property is got
track of. he having pawned several arti-
clcs Of it, aud otherwise made raises Of
money on it.
SUDDEN DEAru.-Henry Tregloue, re-
siding at Silver City, went with q party
of brother Odd Fellows to q Lodge
meeting at Dayton, las. evening. He
was not we'll, and speedily grew worse,
and WAS taken back to Silver as early
as possible, where he died at 6 o'clock
this morning. He was q native Of
Cornwall, England, aged about 40 years,
and came from Michigan only four or
Ave weeks ago. His health was poor,
rs he has been afflicted with diarrhGa
considerably of late, and was much
debilitated in consequence. His funeral
will take place from Odd Fellows Hall,
Silver City, at 2 o'clock P. N. to. morrow,
under the auspices of Silver City Lodge,
No. .. All brothers Of the Order are
invited to attend.

DEER PARE.-Roaming among the
shady groves on the froat terrace of the
Washoc Exchange Billiard Saloon, Viz
ginia, Professor Jim Orndorf has q
couple of the pre,ticst little spotted
fawns imaginable. They are not two
months old, and were purchased Of an
Indian, who captured them in the Sierra
Nevada Mountains, neal Truekee. They
are quite tame already, and attract
much attention from the lovers Of the
beautiful among natures animals.
OrPosrrloS.-The Virginia Enterprise
of this morning says; "a large num-
Der OF heavy teams are now running
between this place and Elko." Now
the distance between the two places be-
ing something over 800 miles, this is
evidently a conspiracy on the part of
Horutowuers to cut off Reno and bust
up the Central Pacific Railroad, by
shipping all their freight direct on big
mule aud ox-teams. Wonder how
Charley Croker will like that?
PIpER's SALooS.-Eyerybody knows
just where it is, at the orner of B and
Union streets, Virginia. The best
brands of whisky, wines, ales, brandies,
porter, etc, ut wholesale and retail.
The bar is beautifully stocked with
nothing but the best Of everything in
the beverage line, and also those par
ticularly excellent cigars for which the
place has always been noted. Drop in
and test the superior qualities Of what
we have just written about.
