Il WAS found that besides $50 feet OF tEus.
tls.work being burned over 700 cords OF
wood had been destroyed-250 cords Of
which was the property of Jacobs Il Sui
tan. 80 cords belonging to the Raymond
4 Ely Company aud $40 odd cords tho
property OF the Coop store IN Panaca.
The wood was placed in the yard very
near the mill, 80 as there would be no
pecessity of employing horse and cart

T, seems to us to BE- "fslse economy" TO
have constantly endangered property
worth thousands Of dollars for the sake
Of saving the expenses of horse and cart
and man, II in future the wood Ia to
be placed in the yard along side the mill
ws NAV look for the destruction OF the
mill At any time. or ut any time the loco
motive makes a trip from Phoebe to Bull
Tnnvilie. as the origin OF the last fire was

MISSING. Henry Chamberlain, who
for the past three months has been en-
ployed as mail.rider between Hiko and
Phoebe, arrived here Tuesday last and
left the same afternoon for Hike, since
which time nothing has been heard OF

500, was due him, but unpaid, and he
had entrusted to him to get Dashed .
check for $85. so as there was moro
money due him than he had, it is not
likely that he has skipped out. He
might have been killed and robbed. G..
