fire broke out Saturday evening in the
brush along the Central Pacific railroad
track at woodshed No. 81. near Emigrant
Gap. Two fire trains and large force of
men fought nearly all night to keep the fire
out of the sheds and woodpiles. They got
the fire under control, but it broke out again
on Sunday, when another hot fight ensued
to check it. Virginia city Chronicle.
There is great deal of talk at present
among the boys of organizing a Bohemian
club in this city, to consist of professional
and newspaper men. The object of the
club would be unknown to the public, and
only the members would be allowed to be-
come acquainted with the character of the
organization. There is, no doubt, plenty of
material for such club here, and it would
be an easy matter to get a crowd of, say
fifty, who are made of the right stuff. The
range of the organization would at first, of
necessity, be limited, but in time it could be
extended, and out of a nucleus formed by
few, would spring an order of "Hooters" of
which the boys might we'll be proud.
Herbert j. Foulger should be awarded the
bun for nerve. He was so poor that he was
willing to take the poor debtors oath, and
yet as soon as his petition for release on a
writ of habeas corpus failed him, he planked
down the cash and returned to his home.
If Foulger really had no property in his own
name, he had plenty of it in his wifes
name, with which he could do as he pleased,
and over which he had absolute control.
He tried TO slip through on a technicality,
and it is this technicality upon which he ex-
cuses his action. His intention to defraud
the Government was, however, perfectly
good, and the otfense is just as great as
though his property had never been trans
ferred.
Leonard Rice, the third of the cohabs.
captured at Pennington, was not brought up
for examination until this morning. Judge
Mckay offered to release him on bail pend
ing the hearing of his case, but he was I'M
able to furnish this, and was therefore
obliged to pass the time from Wednesday
morning until this morning in the Pen. He
concluded to waive examination and was re-
leased on a bond of 81 900 to await the action
of the Grand Jury. Rice term of martyrdom
was short-lived, but he says he has already
concluded that he likes the Pen better from
the outside. Thomas j. Brandon, of Cen
treville, and Phil Margetts, of this city, went
as sureties and saved the rotund oohab.
