OF that fact is that any person afflicted,

A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.
Sagebrush Fireworks at TuscarOra.

sagebrush Fireworks at TuscarOra.
Last Saturday night fire caught in a
sagebrush pile, containing over one
thousand cords, belonging to the Navajo
Company at Tuscarora, and caught in a
smaller pile belonging to the Independ-
ence Company, both of which were con-
sumed. The fire is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary. The
Times-Review says: During the burn
ing of the sagebrush piles Saturday
night, there were some of the finest pyro-
technic displays that We're ever wit
messed. Every few moments the
draught of the flames would cause a
whirlwind, which would carry aloft,
sometimes to the hight of two or three
hundred feet, a spiral column of fame,
which after swiftly revolving for a
moment or two would drop to pieces,
the descending sparks resembling q
fountain of fiery spray. These fire.
spouts were accompanied by roaring
noise like the voice of gale resounding
through dense forest of pines"
