FIRE AT BUTTONS RANCH.
Hay, Waol, Greenbaeks. and Barn
Destroyed.

A note received by Chambers Stage
from Buttons ranch on the Little
Humboldt. says that on last Thursday,
about ii O'Clock a fire caught in a
corral used by some of the men en-
ployed on the ranch, as q sleeping
place, ard spread rapidly. destroying
about 100 tons of hay, some $l.60
worth of wool, barns, fencing etc.
The loss to Mr.. Button is about "a 900.
Que Of the hired men had $3.50 in
greenbacks and another some $50 con-
oealed in the hay, and are losers to that
amount. A pile of sagebrush near the
residence OF Mr.. Button caught fire
from the sparks, but the wind being
favorable, the house was saved. The
fire is supposed to have originated from
matches droaDed in the corral by the
men who slept there, as there was no.
body around when the fire broke out.
This should be a warning to people
to leave no matches where the sun s
rays can reach them, as they readily
iguite this hot weather.
