frame dwelling and an adjoining barn on the
alley between NJ and n, Front and Second

phone. The quick appearance of the fire
companies prevented more than slight loss.
It is not definitely known whether the fire
occurred in the stable first or the dwelling.

situated on the alley between Fifth and
Sixth, L and M streets, was set on fire, and
a man named James Brown was seen run
ming away Immediately after the fire com
menced. An alarm was turned in, and the
fire companies reached the place so
quickly that the flames were extin-
enished with but very slight damage.
The property was rented by E. A. Bovyer for
stable, but he lost nothing. Special officer
Hickey Immediately afterwards found Brown
aud brought him back, when Hickey and Of
6cer Lee made an investigation which salts
fed them that they had the man who set the
building on fire, and he was taken to the city
iail and charge of arson placed against him.
His examination will be held this morning.
WONDERFUL SHooTNe.-Lillian Smith,
the ten-year.old California girl, is the recent
wonder among admirers of craftsmanship.
Lately in San Francisco she did some won
derful shooting, and proposes now to astonish

| skill with the rifle at Agricultural Park at
| 2 o'clock tomorrow Sunday. The little
girl is undoubtedly a marvel. Nature has
endowed her with wonderfully quick and
accurate eye and steady hand. It is said
| the little one has shot and broken 1923 glass
balls, thrown up by hand, in succession, and
that she has shot and broken 495 out of 800.
More than that her record credits her with
shooting 20 times in a minute, and firing
and hitting IL out of Is times in a minute,
loading the gun herself. She gives examples
of the latest fancy shooting, as by aid of a
mirror, at swinging balls. etc.
