FIRE AT BULLIoNv1LLE.-On Wednes-
day night about o'clock the chain sus-
pending lamp from the ceiling in the
store of our Bullionville agent, VIM.
Gedling, became in some manner de-
tached, throwing the lighted lamp to the
floor. The lamp bursted as it struck,
throwing the burning oil around. The
alarm was quickly given and few buck
cts of water thrown on the burning oil,
but that only made it worse, scattering
it SO that it run up on the sides of the
store; however, by the aid of those rush
ing in, the flames were subdued. After
affairs were quoted it was found that the
extent OF the damage was not much.
burning the floor somewhat, and the
house getting charred, all of which facts
in regard to the small extent of the dam
age we were glad to learn, and we would
caution people in case of oil catching fire
in any way, never to try and extinguish
it with water, as that has the effect of
scattering the flames and rendering af-
fairs worse. Always use blankets, coats
or similar articles. to be thrown on the
flames to smother them.
SHERIFF FIFE returned to Phoebe late
ON Wednesday night from trip to the
ranch situate in Meadow Valley Wash,
about five miles below Bullionville. The
said ranch has been occupied for the last
two years or more by Billy Patterson
and Ike Hinzeman and was the subject
of a suit in the Land Office in Phoebe, in
which the decision was against Hinze-
man and Patterson. A writ of restitu-
ton was issued by the District Court of
Lincoln county, ordering the Sheriff to
dlspossess the above occupants and to
serve notices on them to that effect,
which he accordingly did on Wednesday
evening. On returning home, as he was
on the outskirts OF Bullionville, he heard
the alarm whistles blown by the mills OF
the fire, an account of which will be
found in another column.
