SENT BACK.

The officers of this city were thrown into a
state of intense excitement night before last
by case of kidnapping The facts are as
follows: Some years ago May Morris was
made the guardian of an orphan girl named
Pauline Herman. The girl was well cared
for by her guardian and treated in the kindest
possible manner. Application was finally
made to have the child taken to the State
Orphan Asylum in Carson. Pauline went
there and remained until few months ago,
when she was hired out to family living in
Carson. A few days ago the girl complained
that she was i'll treated. Her guardian went
to Carson Tuesday and brought the girl with
her to Gold Hill. The authorities of the
of the asylum demanded her return to that
institution. The right as to who is entitled
to the custody of the child was decided by
Judge rising at o'clock yesterday and the
girl remanded. Enterprise
We are requested by Mr., Schooling, one of
the Directors of the Orphans Home to state
that the child mentioned was not ''hired out
to family living in Carson" nor has any
ward of the State ever been hired oAt to any
one. Further that May Morris is not the
childs guardian, and that the Board is en-
tirely responsible in the premises.

FIRE FIRE !

The alarm of fire which was sounded be-
tween and o'clock yesterday morning was
caused by the burning of a car load of wood
on the side track near Stuart and Spear Sts
The fire, it is supposed, was caused by q
spark from the locomotive passing in the after
noon, and which finally ignited, as the wood
burned downward from the top of the load.
ANOTHER.
The ringing of bells for this alarm, awoke
Gus Lewis who was asleep in the second story
of his place of business, and who to his sur
prise found himself almost suffocated with
smoke. Rushing out he met George Tyrre1
and some others going to the first fire and in
formed them that he had little private one
of his own which demanded immediate atten-
ton. Upon investigation the fire was discov-
cred to be in the store room in the back part
of the saloon. The engines and hose carts
had all gone to the other fire, and for mo-
ment,
SERIOUS DANGER
to the Ormsby House block was apprehended.
Tyrrel remembered that the little jumper of
The W arr6n was SClll at Cne engine mouse dIlu
while the occupants of the Hotel were warned
of their danger some of the boys brought the
jumper and attached the hose to the hydrant.
Gus with great presence of mind prevented
the house from being flooded by directing that
the hose be carried through to the place of
the fire, thus avoiding the destruction of much
valuable property. As the flames were con-
fined entirely to the store room the damage
was very slight. A large hole about 9x5
feet was burned through the floor and down
to the base of the joist. The fire was proba-
bly, the work of an
INCENDIARY,
as no FIRE is kept in that portion of the house,
and the proprietor says he does not ever carry
a light when going into that apartment. He
did not retire yesterday morning until after
two o'clock and then closed the premises him
self As he has ne insurance he has been in
the habit of exercising unusual care in taking
precautions against fire. AS the doors and
windows were closed and no other theory can
be found, the whole affair is shrouded in
mystery. If it had not been for the prompt
and efficient work done by the few who were
on hand, there is no doubt but that we would
have been compelled to record serious loss
of valuable property if not of life.

saw shadow of doubt as to the McGibenys
being the greatest family, as family, which
ever appeared before Carson audience. The
photographs of the Family can be seen at the
office of Wells, Fargo 6: Co., and any unprej-
udiced artistic eye would conclude at sight
that 90 cents would be well invested in pro-
curing a comfortable arm chair and spending
a couple of hours in enjoying the treat they
will present. The Sacramento Valley Agri-
culturist says: The McGibeny Family, who
performed here during Fair week, is one of
the most interesting entertainments that ever
travelled in this or any other State. Each
one of the children is a prodigy, and Mrs.
McGibeny is a most beautiful singer, having
a strong soprano voice of broad register. All
those who failed to hear this gifted musical
family missed a rare treat.

THE APPEAL OFFICE KEY.

Somebody has conGscated or borrowed the

son who took that instrument be good enough
to return it to it's old place? We are at loss

there were anything in the Office worth steal
ing the editor thinks he would take it unto

ject of the present holder of the key, will he
be kind enough to do his stealing and then
make restitution of the same? We can hardly
afford to buy new lock, for the fastening up
of the door is more matter of form than ne

CHINATowN.-The turbulency SO recently
existing in this quarter, which has been the
prolific ubject for so many interesting items,
has passed away. The Hop Wo and Yung
Wo companies are not exactly lying side by
side, like the scriptural lion and lamb, yet
the sublimity of quiescence exists among the
Carson residents OF the Flowery Empire
Albeit the resident representative of the Hop
Wo Company informed our reporter that after
much correspondence the respective chiefs of
the Hop Wo and Yung Wo Companies have
absolutely declined to interfere in the recent
difficulties, and that the resident Chinese will
have to adjust their own troubles without any
outside aid or counsel. The Yung Wo people
have reopened their places of business, and
everything seems to glide along smoothly.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT. -Ye yesterday afternoon
about o'clock as the freight train from HUI

about twenty-five feet, but stopped without
being capsized No one was hurt, and no
blame is attached to the employees. The

removed, so that the passenger train went
