Incendiaries

TRUcKEE, September 26th.-Oliver Lon
keys loss by the Verdi fire is estimated at
$50, 600, partly covered by insurance. His
planning mill, lumber yard, store and resi-
dence are total loss. Five or six unoccu-
pied dwellings, the old freight depot and
one box car were also destroyed. Some
damage was done to the railroad track, but
1t was quickly repaired.
The fire was discovered in some shavings
of the planning mill at FIVE minutes past =
o'clock. Fifteen minutes before all the
hands had left the mill for dinner The
flames spread like a flash, enveloping all
the building in few minutes.
Parties from Verdi state that the opinion
prevails that it was an incendary fire, be-
cause of Lonkey's employment of China
men.
At o'clock this evening the Truckee
hre-trsin was again called TO Verdi, fears
being entertained that the fire from the
lumber yard would communicate with the
business portion of the town.
