Dwellings, hay, horses. cattle snd grain have
all been served alike by the destroyer. Mr..

lost his dwelling. and ten head Of cattlei 200
tons OF hay on his place was destroyed. A

Sla5; Lawrence and Leavenworth parties
$500; and probably other bills, as his credit
was good. His assets, about $500 in value,
were LEVIED upon by Schmidling & Watson,
who will get their claim, at least. Saturday
Dalton sold some land he owned for $500 in
cash, and it is thought that he carried OF also
81 200 or more Of hotel receipts which he had
no doubt been keeping for that purpose, in
