Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1876-05-17

A RoUGH DAY.-Yesterday was one OF
the worst days Of the season. The wind
commenced early in the morning blow
ing perfect gale, and dust and loose
odds and ends we're sent whirling through
the streets. We have heard much of
Washoe zephyrs but never had the
pleasure Of experiencing one in Virginia
City, but think the zephyr of yesterday
will compare favorably with any. The
streets were deserted, with the exception
of those parties who were compelled to
be out, and these did not tarry any
longer in the open air than the necessi.
ties of the case demanded. The streets
had been thoroughly soaked with water
in the morning by the sprinklers, but
under the influence of the sun and wind
they were soon dry and dusty.
ANOTHER FIRE.-Geo. G. johnson dis
covered fire yesterday morning outside
but near the rear OF his stable. He
promptly e1tinguisbed it. II appears
that some one has been emptying lot
Of brush near the rear entrance OF his
stable, aud some other good citizen, to
nelp the matter along, on a windy day
emptied lot of hot ashes on the brush,
hence the fire. 1t is surprisingly strange
mat after all the warnings that have
oeen given in regard to matters of this
KIND that some thick-headed fools will
still continue that practice.
The EFFECTS. We heard of only one
accident to any building yesterday from
1ne effects Of the wind storm, although
mere seemed to be some apprehsnsions
ABOUT Armory Hall. A large number Of
Signs painted on canvas were in o dilapi-
ua'ed state before the wind had finished
any one would think that Phoebe had
peen kettled, judging by the oil cans
w., mat were floating down Main street
propelled by the wind. The wind tore
uowh portion of the smoke-house in
me 1uo rear OF the Independent market
Inc damage was not great however.
WE learned in the County Clerks
office yesterday that the parties who had
given notice of their withdrawal from thu
bonds of the County Treasurer, have, on
cancel their notices and have theil
names renstated on the bond. There
must be some responsible person to tax.
