A WIFI WIND.-Last evening about hall
past O'Clock whirlwind passed over the
city from west to east 1; lid no damage and
its presence would not have been known b,
! for the commotion it created in the air.
There was an immense cloud at the time di-
rectly over the city and when it struck the
outer edge it seemed to tear like buzz saw
| striking piece of cloth. When it got inside
! the cloud there was 4 circle which whirled
! quite rapidly and this circle expanded until
the entire cloud was drawn into the vortex
1t was then blown swiftly eastward like a
wheel revolving on its side and the revolution
was opposite the course taken by the hands of
a clock. Numbers of people stood in the
streets watching the unusual sight, and the
cloud maintained us circular form until it
reached the neighborhood of the State Prison
where it appeared to burst and soon disap-
peared.
PROPELLER FOR Mono Unsatisfactory
a propeller arrived in Carson on the cats
from Sacramento. 1t is destined for Mono
Lake and belongs to Henry Langly and Ma
son Amos. 1t is called the Rocket, and is IS
10 feet. 1t will accommodate passengers,
and tow two lumber barges across the Lake.
The owners of the craft have made a contract
with g. L. Porter & Co. to haul lumber at So
a thousand during the coming season, with
the privilege of renewing their contract for
two years. An old English witch once pro-
phesied, that when ship went over dry land
the Byron estates would pass from the owners
A small ship was conveyed across the country
on wheels and tho same year saw he Byron
family lose then estate. Perhaps something
will ha pen of an extraordinary nature on
this occasion, for the craft will be taken to
the lake by big mule team.

9 O'Clock last evening an alarm of fire was
caused by q small c"nhagration, starting in
