maintain her as his wife. The case Is notable
on account of the novel nature of the defense,
which was that the husband, having been
separated from his wife 50 long back as twen-
ty-one years. was unable to identify her.
Further that the complainant had undergone
such changes that the defendant had reason
to suspect that she was not his wife. 1t does

FIRE IN SUTRO.
A Number of Buildings Destroyed.

The following telegram was re-
ceived from our Dayton correspond
ent last evening:
"DAYToN, Jan. GA fire occurred
this afternoon at Sutro, burning the
saloon occupied by Jake Paul, the
dwellings of Mrs. Stead and Tom
Wostell and perhaps more. The fire
caught in The saloon, from the stove
pipe, it is supposed. Insurance on
the saloon building, 81 900; on Wo-
stell's property, $1,000"
With our knowledge of the To-
cality we cannot see how the large
lodging house occupied by T. Bastian
could have escaped, 1t being situated
directly between Wostell's and Mrs.
Stead's. Both of the latter named
had cabins adjacent to the main
buildings occupied as lodgings. BY
the destruction of her houses Mrs
Stead loses her means of support, hel
husband having been killed in the
tunnel some few years since.

FIRE IN CARsoN.-On Saturday
morning at o'clock, while the wind
was blowing perfect hurricane, fire
was discovered in Chinatown, Carson.
The origin Of the conilagratiol is a
mystery. but nearly everybody in
Carson believes it was set by hood
lums, with the intention of cleaning
out the entire Chinese quarter. If
SO they very nearly succeeded.
Twenty-Five houses were destroyed
before the fire was got under con-
troll, and one-halt of Chinatown is
in ashes.

Fatal Mining Accident.

Last Saturday afternoon horrible
accident occurred at the Savage mine.
VIM. Menhennett, John Lowe, james
Williams and Thomas Little were on
cage that was run up into the
sheave. Two of the men sprang out
and caught on some cross timbers,
third held on with death grip to the
cross-bar of the cage, but Thomas
Little slipped from the cage when the
floor was tilted to an angle OF forty
five by striking the sheave and fell
head first to the floor of the works.
At the moment he struck the floor he
seemed to draw his limbs convulsive-
ly together, as though for jump,
when he rolled over and fell to the
bottom of the vertical shaft, dis
lance of 1900 feet, where his body
was found, a mangled, shapeless mass
of flesh
w. Drysdale, steady and temper
ate engineer, was running at the time.
The indicator showed that the cage
was run past the proper place of
stopping, and the fault therefore lies
with the engineer.

The terrible accident at the Savage
mine has caused a movement ON the
part of the organization of Stationary
Engineers to reduce the time of work
to eight-hour shifts in all the i'm
portaut mines. Where the work is
almost constant twelve hours is too
long for most men to keep up the
needed degree of vigilance and nerve
force for the proper charge of a post
involving human life, and the shifts
should be shortened.

FIRE.-This item does not record
the destruction of big store, nor

Its true intent is TO tell of a man on
fire. His name shall be nameless,
for we know it not; but quite a cloud
of smoke was seen issuing from his
garments as he walked down Main
street. below Armory Hall. Some one
called to him and made him aware
of the danger. He found his coat

pocket perhaps, and his motions
were lively and vigorous until the
coat was taken off and the fire

affray yesterday, by James Blair, who
had an arm shattered and received
other wounds that will probably
prove fatal. While drunk the men
quarreled about q mining location in
which they were partners. Bresman.
cut it short by exclaimipg that he
was "chief," and wanted to fight then
and there. This Blair agreed to, and
firing began at about eight feet apart.
They fred rapidly until their revolt
vers were emptied, both being badly
wounded. Blair then went around
the corner, reloaded his pistol with
one hand while holding it between his
knees, followed Bresman into bar
room and shot him in the abdomen,
causing his death in short time.
