Il LAS ANIMAs, Colo, Jan. 10. AThe
building used by Bent County as a
court house burned about l o'clock
this morning. When the fire was
first seen it had made too much pro-
gress to be arrested. All the records
of the county was totally destroyed,
consisting of the records of the
County Clerk, District CLERK, Coun-
ty Treasurer, Sheriff and County As
SCISSOR. All that was saved were the
contents of the Treasurer's safe, con-
taining some important papers, war
rants and school orders that had been
paid, from Jan. to December 81,
1887, and some little money, and
also the warrant books contained in
the Clerks safe.
None of the county officers knew
anything of the fire until this morn
ing. What seems strange is that the
Court House should be destroyed
with all its valuable records just on
the eve of being transferred to other
hands. There is no doubt in the
minds of any one that the fire was
the work of an incendIary. To re-
place these records will require sew
e-al years labor, and be an enormous
expense; indeed, the loss is irreputa-
bic The county has suffered heavy
loss, and no doubt large sums will be
spent in litigation as result.
The County Commissioners,
through the courtesy of the City
Council, are for the present occupy
ing the City Hall until some other
place eau be temporarily secured.
They will work night and day to get
the offices of the county In as good
shape as possible.
The above special to the Denver
Republican are as near the facts as
we have been able to ascertain, there
is no doub; in the minds of the pub
lie but what the Court House was
set on FIRE, and it Is due the people
of Bent County who are individually
interested that the fullest investiga-
ton be made, and if possible ascer-
tain the reasons why there was de-
sire on the part of any one to destroy
the records, and who was guilty OF
the act We have heard no one
charged with the offence, but every
citizen in the county is desirous that
the guilty one or ones Be appre
hended.
