Marysville Hotel were alarmed by
screams for help and also cries of fire.

her clothing was found to be in flames.

men who were rooming in the house, the
fire was speedily extinguished and medi-
cal assistance sent for. DR.. Deal at
tended promptly, and found that the
Young lady's side, back, arm and shout

applications suggested by skill and ex-

truant horse made its appearance Of its
own accord, but without the saddle,
bride or pistol, which was in the can
