A You've FIRE ExTrNeUIsHED.
About 2 O'Clock yesterday morning,
the fence at the e Of Buffers res
idence, on Main street, opposite the
Gold Hill NEWS Office, was discovered
to be on fire and blazing brightly,
throwing a lurid light on the hillsides
surrounding the town. The fire alarm
was quickly sounded, and directly
the boys were out with their
most efficient machines. Before
their services could be brought
to bear Oh the subject, however the
fire was totally obliterated by means
OF a Babcock fire extinguisher, which
one of the employees at the Yellow
Jacket hosting works near by caught
and ran with at the first alarm.
Butler himself ran out In his
night dress and got OH a second
stream with the slop pail, but
the Babcock Extinguishsr had already
done its work efficiently. The fire
originated In the corner Of the yard
adjoining Buffers on the north, and
was occasioned BY the careless cuipa-
bility Of some IL dumping hot
ashes against the fence. The Goals
had evidently smouldered against the
fence until at length the cui-
mination was an exceedingly
lively looking and dangerous fire, for
a more eligible locality for an extern
sive contlagration could not we'll have
been selected. 1t was at first said thai
this was the work Of an incendiary,
vet there was nothing whatever to
Justify such an idea. Tho fire was the
result Of carelessness.
