FIRE LAST NIGHT.-About ~ O'Clock
last night fire alarm was sounded by
the whistle of the Phoebe Phenix. and
the signal cansed an immense crowd to
rush towards the scene of the conhagra-
ton. Both the Hooks and Hose Com
pany turned out The fire occurred in
stable near the water tank, the property
of the Phoebe Phen;x Company. 1t was,
without doubt, the work OF an incendiary,
as there was no fire near by, and no one
who had right there had been in the
stable since o'clock. A good horse
was burned to death; a gun or two which
happened to be in the stable were ruined;
set OF harness, some clothing and bed
ding, a quantity of hay land barley, and
check for S24 were destroyed. The
stable was entirely consumed, but the
tire did not communicate with any other
building. The total loss is between 500
and $500 This vile attempt at incen-
dlarism should stimulate the people to
renewed vigilance in guarding the town
and protecting property from fire, either
accidental or incendiary.
EDITOR RECoRD-DEAR SIR: It gives
me great satisfaction publicly to testify
to the fact that the worthy Sheriff of
Lincoln County, w. S. Travis, having
ascertained that the title by which he
had come into possession of the lot form
erly jumped by j. Harris and r. Nconor,
on Main street, was wrongful one, and
that the true and indisputable title was
vested in me, has, in the handsomsst
manner paid me the full value / set upon
said lot, and has got deed of the same
from me. This act of fair and honora-
BILE dealing on the part of the highest ex-
ecutive officer of the county is just as it
should be. ELLA CHIELovICH.
