ARSON IRhMES.-" W
be down at Carson last Sunday, and
never saw the place so lively. The
wind blew %terriflcally, awnings, signs
and all sorts OF loose fixlngs were fly
ing about vigorously. and even the
gravel stones got up and busted down
the cross streets like huge charges OF
buck or grape shot. Everybody held
on 70 their hats to keep their hair from
blowing away, and as Charley Parker
remarked, tho safest person against
loss In that respect was n bald-hesded
man. Neither fluffy nor Fryer, nor
any other lightweight, dared trust
himself out Of doors. About 2 O'Clock
r. ". while the wind was doing Its
b~lossedest, the chimney OF the Magno-
iia took fire, and flame and smoke
poured out quite lively from the top.
Tho fire alarm sounded, and 1t was
right pleasing to All old Comstocker to
see the Fire Department u out so
promptly TO the rescue. Warren. No.
!, and Curry. No. 9, were both on
hand, and No. rs active boys remind
ed us Of the way we have c G Virginia
and Gold Hill tiremen do OH such &C.
casions. By the time they had their
suction attached, the hose was strung
out, and inside Of M time at all they
had a splendid stream playing on the
building. They were bound TO have
"hrst water" No. Is boys. as we
said before, were also on hand. but As
the fire was only in the chimney and
easily disposed of, they were not re-
Qulred to get their efficient machine to
work. From what we saw, the Carson
firemen are noways behind any others
In the country for lively activity,
promptness and efficiency, and they
have . couple Of excellent machines.
Had that fire got a fair start, however,
with such = furious wind. the boys
would have had a rough time OF It De-
fore they could master the situation.
"BrASY."-A week before he died,

Take good care Of me when l 60"
About the same time, while In COM
MANY with Jake White and Frank Hem
derson one evening. he remarked spor-
lively that he would like to have four
black horses attached to the hearse
which conveyed his remains to their
final restInQ-placs. The last words he
uttered we're addressed to Frank Hen
derson ..Bub, remember those four
black horses" It will be remembered
that his death occurred at about P.
N. on Friday last. An hour later the
following dispatch was sent to MIS-.
Irwin: George Fl. Irwin died this
a~ftsrnoon. What shall we do with
the remains?" The following was re-
ceiyed In reply at s p. NJ:

of being buried alive. start tonight.
