which have recently become ultra civil
service reformers, have been getting after
Nr Blackburn, of Kentucky, because he
was absent from Washington few days

Jack Frost. He courted up a widow who
lived little out of town, and finally sent
a Mr.. Hill with his horse and buggy to
bring the woman in to be married, while
he stayed behind and made preparations.
He gave Hill his own horse and
buggy for the expedition, and even
fitted him out for a new plug

had hankering of his own, basely. yield

We came near having second
fire Thursday afternoon. Just as the
men were returning from the lower

cupied by Rev. Charles Irish was on
fire and quite number of men start
ed for that locality, but happily to
find the fire subdued The chimney
OF the adjoining house occupied by
Mr., +. II. Brown, burned out, and
sparks from that ignited the saw dust
banking about the other house and for
few moments it looked as though a
big fire was inevitable but few buck
cts of water we'll applied crushed out
the insipient blaze.

| About one o'clock Thursday after
noon the cry of fire was again heard
upon our streets, and on answering
/ the call, we found it located in the
frame dwelling house owned by Mrs.
/ S. B. Anderson, on lower Second
street, and occupied by K. c. Palmer,
+ Richard Collins and Charles Peterson.
By the time help arrived it was seen
/ to be uselSs to try TO save the build
/ ing, and all hands turned their atten-
/ ton to District Attorney S. Bacon 5
residence the next building on the
west and distant only about two or
three feet. Mrs. Bacon, who is very
low from long sickness, was remov-
ed on the bed in which she Law to the
residence Mr.. A. l.. Lord, near by,
and out of danger, and then the boys
put forth their most heroic effort to
save the building but to no effect, as
with the high wind and close proxim-
ity to the other burning building, it
was simply impossible to save it. Ev-
elything was removed from the house,
however, and sustained little or no
serious damage. All the household
goods in the Anderson building was
also saved, but about $50. worth of
goods was subsequently burned by
having been deposited on the ground
too near to the burning building. The
next building on the east was the
large two story building of Mrs. Robe,
but by good earnest work this build
ing was saved, as was also the saloon
and residence combined, of Mr.. NJ
Harvey directly across the street in
the line of the wind, though for time
it was thought both these buildings
would surely go.
Mrs. Anderson's building is valued
at about 81 900 on which there was no
insurance. Mr. Bacon's building was
worth about 81 800 which was insured
for 81 900.
The Hook and Ladder boys had a
long run with their outfit, and got
there on reasonably good time consid-
ering this fact and did good service as
soon as they could get to work, but
the fates were against all human en-
deavor, and they could do no more
than to pull over the lettering walls
which greatly lessened the heat against
the other buildings. No one knows
exactly how the fire originated, but
probably from a defective chimney in
the first mentioned building.
