| Attempt to Burn Nevada City.
NEVADA CRY, August 24th.-An attempt
was made by incsndiaries last night to burn
| up this town. Fires were set in three differ
ent places. Shortly before l o'clock one
end of William VOLTS frame storehouse
on Main street was discovered to be
on fire, and while the frernsn were
| engaged in extinguishing the flames a
blaze was noticed Issuing from between the
stage company's barn and Robinson's black
sraith shop, which are situated short dis
tancs below VOLTS, in the same block. The
fire proved to be a lot of burning paper and
shavings, saturated with kerosene, which had
| been placed in a bcx and dropped be-
tween the buildings. This sec nd fire
had no sooner been put out than
another alarm was given, caused by
the burning of barn on Sacramento street,
owned by Jane Swift. Before the fire com.
panies could reach it, the barn was enveloped
in flames, and in a few minutes time burned
to the ground. 1t was insured. The damage
done by the other fires was only nominal,
as they were fortunately promptly discovered
1t was probably the intention of the incsndi-
aries to set the barn on fire first. and thus
| draw the people away from the center OF the
town while the other fires were started.
