AS we go to press there are meagre
reports OH the street IT a serious fire in
Humboldt Wednesday night. 1t is
said to have started in the Independ-
ent Press office, which was entirely de-
stroyed, 'as was also the Lehman
building. AS matter of precaution
the goods i'm Curdy's store were moved
into che street, and were Of course con-
siderably damaged. The building
however was not seriously injured.
We can not learn particulars, nor the
exact extent of the damage done.
The annual business meeting of tho
First Congregational church of Gene
va, jan. 9Th, was well attended by
both sexes, aud much life and enthu-
siasm manifested. BY ballot Il. j.
Dickinson was unanimously reelected
Trustee and Deacon for three years, and
III. n. Gray. Treasurer for one year.
Miss CARTE NATION was elected Clerk
for one year; insurance ordered, col
lections arranged, and retiring Trus-
tee instructed to annually prepare \
written report, stating valuation of
property, Improvements, repairs,
debts, etc. L.
1t is with the sincerest regret that
we chronicle the death, OH last Tues
day at his home i'm Geneva township,
of Mr.. George Hall. The deceased
was one of the pioneers of Allen
county, having located i'm 1857 OH the
farm where he has ever since resided
and where his death occurred. A man
of indefatigable energy and of unusual
sagacity and foresight, his success in u
business sense has been second to that
of no other farmer in the county, while
liSprOmptness in meeting all his en-
gagemehts and his straight forward
conduct as a man and a citizen has
given him high position i'm the re-
spect and esteem of all who
knew him. Mr.. Hall was not
yet fifty years of age and had always
enjoyed robust health up 10 the time of
his final illness. A large circle of
friends and acQuaintances will join
with his bereaved family in lamenting
his untimely death.
We are indebted to Mrs. L. A.
Thrasher for copies of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle of recent date. In it
we find voluminous accounts of the
snow storm that visited Frisco Oh New
Years day. Snow in January is 10
them what it would be in June to us.
The account of incidents and street
scenes is highly amusing. Many had
never seen snow before, and the
Chronicle man felt under the necessi-
ty of going into Il scientific eXplana-
ton Of the phenomenon. Children
went wild with excitement, respecta-
bic citizens had to sneak through back
alleys OF trust to the partial protection
of street-cars from the volley of SHOW
balls. And poor John Cinnamon was
"aghast with terror" considering the
strange freak of nature an omen of
evil, and being besides the favOrite
target of innumerable mcrksmen. 1t
will be day long-remembered at
the Golden Gate. Only two tiurries
of snow are remembered in the history
of San Francisco.
Quite a serious stampede occurred at
the X. c., l.. & s. X. stock yards Sun
day night. About sixty head of fat
cattle belonging to ]. H. McGlashen
were in the yards awaiting shipment
the next day, when sometime after
dark they became stampeded by an
train, and breaking down
the yard fence, rushed on to the track
i'm front of the train. 1t was
to stop the train in time,
and four of them were thrown from the
track and injured to such an extent
that they had to be killed. No par
ticular blame seems to attach to any
one, as the yard fence had been
and repaired only few
days before. The loss is quite a seri-
Gus one, however, both to the COM
injured cattle were appraised at ST
cents per pound, bringing the total
up to 1886, which the COM
pany will have to pay, while the rest
of the herd were scattered so that 1t
required all day Monday to get them
together again, time and trouble for
which of course Mr.. McGlashen cam
not get paid. The whole lot were ex-
fine cattle, averaging about
] 800 pounds in weight. Dan HOr-
vile had a lot of cattle i'm the yards at
the same time, but none of them
escaped.
