uatsd in American Ravine, took fire
and was entirely destroyed before
any means of extinguishlng it could
be procured. Mr.. Montgomery is
now living 10 Bodie and his wife oc-
capied the house alone. She first
discovered the Gre in the back part
of the house, and Processes 10 believe
that it was set on fire by some enemy.
The neighbors, however, suspect her
of setting the fire herself, as there
was an insurance of $400 on the
building, which IL more than 1t was
worth. 1t is also the belief of the
neighbors that she had removed the
furniture at night short time previ.
Gus to the fire. The suspicious con-
corning her part in the origin of the
fire are so strong that warrant has
been sworn out charging her with
arson. Her hearing is set for to-day
at 10 o'clock A. M.

Juvenile Circus.

The boys of Lower Gold Hill have
put up circus tent, the covering of
which is made of old grain sacks.
Their price OF admission is fifty cents
people over sixty, half price.
AS the entire company is constant
ly employed in the performing de-
partment and none can be spared as
outside bouncers, they suffer consid-
cradle annoyance from the raids of
hoodlum men who crawl under the
sides and witness the show without
paying. The merit of the perform
ance, however, draws a paying audi
ence, notwithstanding the great dead
head facilities. Sigr Mulony, the
great combined contortionist and
living skeleton who picks his teeth
with his elbow and twists his neck
until he can bite his own ear, is alone
worth the price of admission. Mon.
Thomas Higgings, the daring bare
back broomstck rider, is simply su-
perb in his reckless riding, which
causes the hearts of fair girls and
brave boysto stand still. His feat
where horse aud rider together turn
double flip. flap excites boundless
admirstion. Mons. Higgins is the
only living performer of this act, the
others having died iron. the effects of
sudden jolts received while trying to
learn. The Airy Fairy Bareback,
Lady Judy Mulligan, who is named
as closely as propriety will admit
in conformity with her style of cos
tune, takes the audience actually by
storm by her light aud graceful rid
ing Of the three. wheeled velocipede.
Her duplex elliptic act, in which while
at full speed she stands upon her
head on the iron back bone of her
flying courser and working the
wheels with her hands threads fine
cambria needle with the pointed
heels of her dainty slippers, is de-
serving of the encomiums so lavishiy
bestowed upon her by the best crit
les of acrobatic art. The clown is
fer superior to the commouplace fell
low so frequently seen in travelling
com panies of second rate merit.
Not shade of vulgar talk, not
the slightest approach to even
double extendal" mars the beauties
of his home like dicttOn. 1t must
have cost him much time, hard
study and an exercise of much men,
tai force to produce the character as
he does, and In his representation
succeed so weti in sinking his owl
identity. To see him is enough-he
speaks for himself.
The whole performance is on the
same general plane of merit, and will
draw large crowds until the cold
weather sets in, when the exhibition
will he discontinued on account of
the discomfort attending the light ap-
parel of the actors.
