he Audttcrs ofsee Burned and the County
Records Destroyed

From the Yakima City Record We clip the
following relating to thA recent fire there /;
the question now Is, whose ras,alsry has b-rn
burned pp with the documents,
IL must have been about one o'clock in the
morning when the first alarm was given.
( When discovered Only one end Of tue build-
ing was in hames-.he northwest end where
the stairway was located. BY some II is
contendei that both corners ef the west end
OF the building was set on tire, leaving the
hack end and center OF the bailding not
burning When 1t was first OlSerl ed by them.
This is possible also. Bp, Va think the
most reasonable hypothesis Is that the build
ing was Set on fire Immediately under the
stairway. A young m II employed IN oar
office and his parents who hive near by We're
probably the first 10 notice The tismes.
When they observe II only one corner was
in flames Coal oil might have been thrown
on the bailding at the rear eEd ami the
flames could have hal time Il Compunicaie
10 the o:her side OF the building shen otners
seen t. This, however, Is only suppositiOa
on eur part. When fist seen by our yoans
man he Observed the door open up stairs,
and the smoke rolling ou- in d-nse volumes
Can It lie possible the mceniIarv assembled
the stars, bursted open the door aud then
set fire to the bail ling afterwards from tie
oatsidt, 1t Is possible, a. the iEslds II the
upper portion Of the building with the ex-
ceptiou Of the outside lower corner, where
tbs stairs were located, was il mass OF
flames before the inside OF the lower story,
Occupied by NJ. Pratt as a furniture store,
had ignited. Mr.. Gervais and Mat Bartho- I
let are nearly Of the same opinion as Nir. /
Guilland. Mr. Muason informs Us that /
when he left the office at clock on Thurs |
day afternoon lie locked the door, ard that !
no ire had been in the stove all day. Mr.. |
Pratt informs US, that 10 fire was in his |
stove below. II nee any hypothesis looking !
to tie origin OF the fire from a stove IS Lot /
enteTtalnab!e.
As to 4 financial estimate Of the loss to the |
county Is concerned, thousands o: dollars !
VIII not replace. Take the simple matter OF |
the record Of real estate transfers, deeds. !
MORTGAGES, agreements, and think for mo-
ment oi tie irreparaLle iEjrry sustained
thereby, 10 say nothing Of the district cour;
records. assessment rolls aEi delinquent tax

force to county organizations. 1t may he |

Professor Linden said a good word
the other day Mt Buffalo for that much
prosecuted bird, the common crow. The
crow of America belongs to n scattered
family of about two hundred species, in
Guiding among them the buzzard, jay,
raven and magpie. OF the genus proper
to which the crow belongs, seven exam
pies are found in the United States, the
great black raven being at the head. In
the wilderness about n hundred miles
from Buffalo, on the shores of Lake On
tario, ravens were found. Their nests
were so secluded rs rarely to be discov-
cred. So wary were the birds that MI.
Linden had found it impossible to OBJ
tain a specimen. They were reported
more abundant on the Canada shore Of
Lake Ontario, but it was impossible to
procure n specimen even there, though a
liberal reward had been offered.
The crow was only preserved from an
initiation by its great cunning. Even in
captivity the bird displays a degree OF
sagacity which almost resembles human
intelligence. Mr.. Linden admitted that
the crow could hardly be called a sweet
singer; still when tanned he made a very
interesting pet. On the whole, he might
safely be set down as a useful bird and
a real friend of the farmer. He eats
large quantities of noxious insects, and
though he has a bad habit of pulling up
young tender shoots of grain, it was a
question whether the damage was not
more than compensated by the number
of Larvae of beetles thus brought to light
and devoured.
