BURNING OF THE COURT HOUSE.

0On VI III. OoSh'
During the silence and darkness
Of the early hours of Tuesday morn
ing, some hellish wretch applied the
torch to the court house and the
flames famed by the stiff southeast
gale then blowing speedily envelop-
ed the building from foundation to
steeple in one huge, roaring, seething
mass of fire. 1t was in this condi-
ton when discovered OF about one
o'clock. tho the alarm was given at
once, and the fremen responded with
alacrity, it was evident that all was
beyond hope Of relief:
Blazing shingles were carried
half a mile by the wind and serious
w threatened buildings in their
tracks. The building at the north
west corner Of the court house square,
in which were located the telegraph
office, and the law Office Of Messrs.
O'Bryan and White was in cmmi;
nent danger and only saved by
great exertions. The new Metio-
dist Church, the residence and car
rage house of o. Bourque were
also rescued after a hard fight.
All of the parish and court re
cords, together with the books, pa
pers and furniture in the Offices OF
the clerk, sheriff and assessor were
totally destroyed. The Masonic
Lodge which held it's meetings in
an upper room Of the court house
also suffered the loss Of its rarapher
MALTA and jewels.
So great was the heat that the
Sheriff deemed it wise to remove the
prisoners from the Jail, and under q
strong guard, the terrified occupants
of the LittleBrick Bas,ile were led
out, and when the FIRE had subsidized
were all safely returned to their
cells.
During the progress of the fire
a large number of pistols which hao
been accumulated as evidence ir
various cases, begun to explode anG
for a moment a regular fusllade wa!
heard. One Of the prisoners who
was jailed for drunkenness becoming
frightened at the awful spectacle
yelled in stentorian tones. 20, Lore
