Fiery Flames.

TO be afire. Owing to the mar
ner in which the institution is
constructed the fire engine did
little service until the flames had
made considerable progress. 1t
has a tin roof, under which the
fire was burning, and the ceiling
overhead is of stone, through
which it was impossible to make
an opening. But after the stones
became heated they dropped and
exposed the fire, which was then
extinguished. AS the stones
fell on the flooring they would
crush through into the basement
beneath. The walls are uniniur-
ed. The way in which the fire
originated is unknown,all reports
being founded on conjecture.
The prisoners were removed
to the court house.

Fatal ARRAY.

An unfertunate difficulty oc.
Cured at Blanche, in the south.
western part of this county, OF
Tuesday, 3rd, in which w. III
Gibbs lost his life at the hands
of w. Z. Alternately. 1t APP
pears that Gibbs had i'll feelings
toward Alternately in regard to
a woman, and had declared if an
opportunity presented itself he
would kill Alternately. Tuesday
evening about 3 o'clock Gibbs
was standing in the drug house
of Beatty & Coats, Alternately
went in and passed by Gibbs
who picked up a weight and
threw it at Alternately striking
him on the shoulder; it glanced
and made an ugly wound on his
cheek. Gibbs followed Aber-
natly, who is a small man, and
caught hold of him; they were
separated but Gibbs again got
to him, when Alternately drew a
pistol and fired three shots in
succession. The first passed
through Gibbs upper lip and
lodged in his head, the second
passed through DR.. Beaty's coat
and the third lodged i'll Gibbs
heart. Gibbs, Notwithstanding
his wounds, retained his hold Oh
Alternately and was endeayoring
to wrench the pistol from him,
