The Compilation Commission.

Hon. j. w. Blake came down from
Laramie city yesterday on business CON
nected with the organization of the com
mission. The organization of the com
mission cannot be effected just ct present,
as 1. P. Caldwell. one of the members of
the commission is away, leaving only
Messrs. Blake and Van Devanter. who.
although they constitute a quorum and
majority of the board, prefer to wait until
Mr.. Caldwell's return before taking any
steps to organise. Mr.. Blake thinks the
board may be able to organize next week
and is anxious to accomplish this as soon
as possible and get to work, as under the
law the commission will be allowed two
clerks who are to receive as pay for then
services the sum of $3.50 each.

An apparently well founded rumor
(which by the way might be true, but if
such is the case the s%age-brush reporter
won't be there when the lights go OUT was
started last evening to the effect that a
dead man had been found in a vacant
house in the western portion of the city
and had been taken in charge by the under
taker, etc. The rumor did not reach the
ears of THE LEADER hired man until
IL O'Clock last night, when he sailed out
to find the dead man. He found several
men VINO were dead-drunk-but none
who were at hat time in presentable
shape for the coroner. City Marshal
Schnitger, Judge Lee, Elk Policeman
Wind, Policemen Sullivan and Goddard
we're all interviewed. but nom Of these
knew or had heard a word about the mat
ter. There was probably some mistake
about the matter, for the rumor came from
reliable sources and could not have been
started for mere nonsense.

THE PROSPECTIVE DEPOT.
Active Operations To Begin and the Old
Depot to He Moved.

1t looks like business so far as the cree.
ton Of the prospective Union Pacific
depot is concerned. 1t has been discov-
cred on a close inspection of the ground
that the old depot if allowed to remain
where it is now during the time while the
new depot is being crested that 1t will be
in the way and will have to be in part cut
up in order 10 make room for the new
structure, some Of the bay windows of
which will project over upon the ground
now occupied by the old structure. Such
being the case John Il. Davis yesterday
received an order TO prepare at once for
the moving Of the old depot across the
track to the southside where it will be
placed, but so near the track that it can
be used until tho new structure is com
pleted. Operations to the extent of stalk
ing out the ground on the southside
where the old depot is to be situated COM
menced yesterday and it is apparent that
there is to be no unnecessary delay in the
work which is to result in our having the
finest and most expensive depot anywhere
along the line between Omaha and San
Francisco.

A LIVELY BATTLE.
Tramps Beat and Stab Each Other
A Midnight Raid.

Early last evening three tramps all
covered with blood, cuts and bruises came
into the police headquarters at the city
hall and reported that they had been at
tackled and nearly murdered by eight
other tramps whom they encountered in
a vacant house out in the vicinity Of the
stock yards. As rear as could be gathered
from their story they had been occupying
the vacant house-at night-for sometime,
butt last evening their castle was stermed
by eight others of their profession who
we're strangers to them, and a fierce en-
counter ensued, in which knives we're
used by their ASSISTANTS. The three
bleeding and dilapidated tramps were ia
ken into custo ly and shortly before IL
o'clock last night Officers Goddard, Sulll-
van, Smalley, and others proceeded to the
locality where the eneountef took plac, +,
stormed the castle and although some re-
monstrance was offered, captured the en-
tire gang with n exception THE excep-
lion having skipped). and run them into
the calaboose. A judicial investigation
will take place to-day.

For the reason that people fear the re-
peal of the deset and other land laws, as a
bill for that purpose is now pending in
congress, there has been a constant rush
to the United States land Office for the
past few days. Parties desiring to file
upon desert and other lands have been
improving the time, and the filings and
receipts at the Office have Of late been
very heavy. Register Wilson, Receiver
Garrqrd and all the clerks connected with
the office have been kept unusually busy

AN BLAZE.
A Lodging House Awakened by the
Fire FIend.

About 2 O'Clock yesterday morning FIRE
was discovered in tho hall Of a residence
belonging to Il. R. Bcckstcad, situated on
the corner Of Twentieth and Eddy streets.
1t was quickly extinguished and without
a general alarm. There was a carpet
partly rolled up in the hall at the time,
and this was badly burned and also quite
a space in the floor scorched over. 1t Is
supposed that during the early hours OF
the night some one dropped the lighted
stub of n cigar on the carpet and that the
FIRE started from that. IL was supposed
that this would be all in the way Of fires
that would occur at hat place during the
night, but in this idea the inmates were
mistaken. At about s O'Clock a IN.
flames were discovered on the north side
Of the house and at this time affairs
looked very threatening. The alarm was
sounded throughout the city at once, but
there was such a high wind raging at the
time that the ringing of the fire bell
could not be distinguished very far away.
Nevertheless the fire department was on
the ground in a very short space Of time
and the flames, which had by this time
obtained a good foothold, were quickly
extinguished. The building was damaged
to the extent of $3.50 and the injury to
tho furniture will be about $50. 1t was
thought Mt first that the fire was set by an
incendiary and some are Of that opinion
yet, but investigation fails to support that
theory, although such might be the case.
The FIRE caught from the outside and
worked its way upwards and under the
building. but from the fact that there
were near the point were the fire started
a lot OF loose shavings and other com
bustible material that could have easily
been ignited by a mere spark that the
better opinion seems to be hat a spark of
fire was blown from some of the adjoin-
ing residences into the combustible ma
terial already alluded to and the fire
caused in this way. While the fact of two
fires starting on the same night at the
same place looks very suspicious, yet for
the reason that Mr.. Beckstead has no
enemies so far as can be ascertained who
would be likely to do him any injury #
that kind, and from the facts already
stated regarding the combustible material
outside of the building, the better opinion
is that the FIRE was the result of an acct
dent. The losses sustained were fully
covered by insurance in one of the COM
panies represented by Riner & johnson
and win be speedily adjusted.
