Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1872-11-30

FInE.--About O'Clock last evening
fire alarm was sounded, and the fire com.
pahies and people rushed to the scene.
The fire WAS ina very remote locality, not
far from the old slaughter house. The
house, we understand, belonged to a
colored man named Bayley, and the loss
is supposed to be $3.50 or 5000. 1t was
beyond the reach Of water, SO that the
Hose Company could not be made avail
able. The Hooks. however, tore down
the burning house, and prevented the
spreading of the flames. The fire was
the result of accident.
THIEvING. The light fingered gentry
are beginning to ply their art in this
place with considerable energy. Day
before yesterday two men made raid
upon Ashim & Bro. s store, and between
the two got away with three pair of
pants. One of them was arrested and
two pair of pants recovered. The other
made good his escape with his iu-gotten
booty. We hear of other instances of
pilfering, but we would advise thieves
that they are closely watched, and il
caught will be made to suffer the penal
ty of the law.
JUSTICES CoURT.-Yesterday's pro-
ceedings in Justice Stoutenburgh Court
were mostly of a criminal nature. VIM.
King, for stealing two pair Of pants from
Ashim Il Bro s store. pleaded guilty to
the charge of petit larceny, and was SEN
fenced to pay $66 to cover fine and costs,
or in default remain in Jail 80 days. He
chose the latter alternative. The case of
Jose was continued until to-day. The
second attempt at trial in the case of
the State vs.. Lichtenstein will be made
at some time not yet agreed upon.
IMpRovEMENrs.--It is the general re-
mark Of strangers as well as residents
that Phoebe is improving more rapidly
than any town they have visited on the
Pacific Coast. While many frame build
ings are being erected at points remote
| from the business centre and intended
| for private residences, there are other
structures in course of early completion
which are more extensive, and many of
| them Of stone or brick, and are now
looming up on our principal thorough
fares.
The DANCE.-The party at Mrs.
Grambs' on Thanksgiving evening was a
very pleasant affair, although the attend
ancs was not large. The ladies looked
charming and made good appearance
on the floor. The gentlemen could not
be otherwise than happy with such sur.
roundings. The supper was elegant,
and the music-Mr. Mitchell, violin; Mr..
Maggie, piano, and Mr.. Pierce, cornet-
was equal to any We ever heard.
For THE CApIrAL.-Mr. Thomas Wal.
lace, one OF the Assemblymen from this
county, leaves by this mornings stage
for San Francisco, intending to spend a
few weeks in California and reach Car
son by about the 1st of January Mr.
Wallace bears with him the best wishes
Of numerous friends for a pleasant trip to
California and career Of usefulness in
the Legislature Of Nevada.
On THE WAR PArH.-Our sanctum wa.
invaded last evening by R. A. Fulks ant
Aleck Thompson, both armed to tn,
teeth. A satisfactory explanation having
been rendered, the two gentlemen lef
their compliments on our table. Fol
further particulars call at Fulks & Nc

To BE CEMENTED.--The walls on the
Court House are to be cemented SO as te
prevent damage to the plastering which
would surely ensus without such pre-
caution. The action of the County Com
missioners in providing for this work il
very proper. The contract has beer
awarded to P. NJ. O'Connor, and we are
sure the work will be done satisfactorily
Col. U. E. ALLEN, short term Senator
from White Pine county, arrived her,
yesterday from Hamilton by private con
veyance. Col. Allen is an old pioneer
Of Lincoln county, having been the frs
County Recorder The people here vii
find in Col. Allen true friend to thei
interests in the Legislature
| "OBsERvER. We have received al
anonymous communication bearing th
above signature. Evidently the write
has soured ON the proposition, and seek
to be facetious through our columns
and at the public expense. But we can
see it. We are half inclined to believ
the communication is not original
