the County Hospital, their attention was
attracted by o blaze which was taking
place in the interior of that building.

mediately flashed upon them, and on
making q rush for, and bursting open
the door, they discovered an Indian just
awaking as his bed was being enveloped
in flames, while the other inmates four
other Indians) we're snoozing away in
apparently undisturbed tranquility. Were
1t not for the timely arrival OF those
parties and the speedy application of a
few buckets Of water the probability is
the building would have been destroyed
in few minutes. One of the parties
remarked: "Maybe we will get dona-
ton from the county. for saving the
building" He must be late arrival.
WHARF.-THE water was turned off
from the houses in Phoebe on Thursday
night on account Of there being only
light quantity of water in the lower tank.
Some person on Tuesday night climbed
over the fence guarding the lower tank
and pulled portion Of the oakum from
the seams and the water was allowed to
waste away for some time before the
cause was discovered. Damages we're
repaired but 1t will take q little time to
fill up the tank again. The reason the
water was turned off Thursday evening
was to help fill the tank and to keep
about 10, 900 gallons being used for irri-
eating gardens during the night time.

voice for some one to give him a copy
of that complaint. Instead Of being
served with copy the Sheriff bounced
