Radical friends are preparing to deny their
old name and don new one. With this
dodge they entertain hopes of winning the

will be no lack of candidates and to aecommo-
date as many as possible we should not won

The SonoRsa Democrat Of last week gives
the following account Of q terrible FIRE in the
mountains Of that county.
| One of TIE most extensive and destructive
fres or which we have record, has been rag
ing for the past week on the mountains vi ich
divide Sonoma and Napa Counties. From
all the sources Of information to which we
have had access, we are enabled to place he
FIRE cur readers the following particulars
Three fires were started at almost the same
timc-one near the town Of St. Helena on the
18th one at ST. Helena on the lith, and one
at Cslistoga on the 18th. Shortly after they
had been started high wind began to blow.
and soon the flames We're beyond control,
devonring everything within their reach.
The fires Of Calistoga and St. Helena formed
junction, and swept along the mountains
with such terrible speed that all efforts to
cheek lis progress were given up. he TOT
lowing are the names of the principal sni1es-
ers Jerry Porter-rauch partially burned,
fence entirely destroyed, house AID barn
saved, Mr. Cash ranch met the same late as
that of Mr. Porter. Bruce Cockn.li--ranch
entirely DESTROYED including out-houses and
abou, ten thousand rails. Willis Cocktail
fence entirely consumed, together with about
eight thousand pickets and large number OF
fine sheep. Mr.. Coulter-feneing and large
amount Of stock burned. Mr.. Woodward

ed As the wind had now ceased to blow 80
violently, the fire was checked at this place.
South Of the places above named, the FL.

Mr.. Ilofman-ranch and all he possessed,
with the exception of his riding horse, con-

his fencing, saved his ranch, at which point
the fire waa checked. Nothing is left to mark
the course of the frey fend but smouldering
ruins. The labors of years has been swept
away. aud many families left in a destitute
condition. As to who started these fires in
the first place it is impossible to tell, aud
perhaps will never be known.
The fire found its way into Sonoma Valley.
end considerable damage was done before it
could be checked The first place DESTROYED
was the home of Mrs. Lucy Box. widow
lady, who is left almost penniless. The
dwelling, furniture. barn, etc.. is now in
ruins This is, sad case, and it is a pleas
ure to US TO learn that our citizens are con-
trhuting literally toward enabling this LADY,
to build up another home for herself and chill
dren. The next place it reached was the
pasture Of tie Guilicos Ranch, destroying a
great amount Of fencing. Mr. JAS. Shaw, al
estimable gentleman. was the next sufferer.
