rom Gazette, 14th inst.

From Gazette, 18th inst.
Oliver Hall, Seymour Manning, and
H. S. Hollingsworth, of this city, started
Tuesday for Great Falls, Montana, with
a view of investing in mining and other
property thereabouts.
The Gazette was somewhat in error
last week in stating that creditors had
attached E. A. Breyman's stock of gen
eral merchandise. It is a temporary
transfer in the nature of voluntary as
signment, made to straighten out some
kinks in the business.
Skeels & Langdon's sawmill at Palouse
City was burned to the ground Wednes
day evening at loss of about $4,000; in
sured in the Firemens' Fund Co. for
$1,000. The fire is supposed to have
originated from the furnaces. The own
ers of the mill are peculiarly unfortunate,
having just purchased the property.
In the case of George Dacres VS.. the
o. r. & N. Co., for killing bull, on
trial at Walla Walla, Judge Langford, on
motion of the attorney for the defend
ants gave a non-suit, deciding that the
company was not liable to pay damages
occurring because it had not fenced its
track; that under common law the own
ers of cattle must keep them off the
premises of others. In short, that the
owner of real estate, even if railroad
company, is not bound to fence against
the depredations Of cattle, in the absence
of a special statute. This is very i'm
portant ruling, by which, if sustained,
railways need not fence their tracks.
The case will be appealed to the supreme
court.
Attorney G. NJ. Kincaid has been mott
fed by the Walla Walla land Office that
the secretary of the interior has decided
batch of lieu land cases in favor of the
settlers, among whom are the following
who can now file upon their lands: Alex
ander Mckenzie, Oran Burnham, 1.-TWO
cases), Alexander Burnham, Patrick o.
Neill, Frank W. Gano, John W. Pearson,
Charles Haywood, Henry Arrasmith,
John G. Benton, A. M. Benton, Calvin
NJ. Bryan, Elmer Burnham, Charles Cole,
Isaac Knight, Stephen Belts, John W.
Arrasmith, William Mood, Thomas Rowe,
Jesse W. Walling. These are old cases,
most of which have been pending since
1883. Official notice Of the action of the
secretary has not yet been received here.

forts of the fremen until they reached
the west side Of East Street. where
the further progress OF the fire was
stayed by the employees OF the Mar
row Guage Railway, who were in
force with the company's hose,
playing heavy stream of water Oh the
blazing timbers. In it's course from
Spear Street east to San Francisco Bay
the fire consumed all the buildings on
the south side of Mission Street and half
way down to Howard Street-a few
buildings on North Mission Street from
Spear to the water front also falling vic
tins to the destroying element. The
scorchiDg be at which was well-nigh I'M
bearahke a block from the fire, caused
several persons to succumb, and it was
a common sight to see ladies, frernen
and spectators borne to places of safety.
Hair breadth escapes were numerous.
The fire swept entirely the three blocks
from Main Street to the bay, bounded
by Mission on the north and Howard on
the south. Parts OF the blocks on the
opposite sides of Howard and Mission
Streets were also consumed.
The latest estimate places the total
loss at 81 100000 with an insurance of
S200,GN0. About 1000 men are thrown
out of employment. One man was
burned to death in the flames.

FIFTY PER CENT.
Extent of the Damage to Crops by Frost
in Dakota.

| EXC MI Oh the manage TO drops frost
in Dakota.
NEW ROCKFORD, D. T., Sept. 5.-The
weather in Northern Dakota had been
very favorable for all kinds of crops un-
til the 10Th of August, when a severe
frost fell, running garden vegetables ex-
cept potatoes will be two
thirds of a crop-and badly damag-
ing the wheat. Up to that
date the outlook was very favorable
and many farmers estimated Dakota's
wheat crop at 100000 of bushels, but
now all is changed, and there will be a
small yield OF poor wheat.
In this and the ado ming counties ly-
road, the damage has been
incalculable, and many fields that
promised 20 and % bushels
to the acre will not be cut at all.
On the other hand there are some fields
of good wheat, especially those which
were sown early. and for some inexpli-
cable cause were untouched by the frost.
The matter is worse because there was
SO much wheat that was planted very
late, and was hardly out Of the milk
when the frost fell. The land
is generally prepared in the fall for
spring sowing, but owing to the immense
amount of threshing last season,
and the dry weather, a large area of
land was plou.hed in the spring, and
on that ground the crop is generally
poor.
| can give no correct idea Of the geo.
graphical extent of the frost belt, but
understand that it was felt 18th more or
less severity throughout Oak ot;i and Min
nesota. 1t did less damage i'll Southern
Dakota, of course. for the reason that
seeding is done there earlier than it is
here, and many fields must have been
too far advanced to be serious injured
From somewhat extensive personal
observation, and from what can learn,
estimate the loss at fully 81 per cent.
as compared with what the crops prom
ised on the first day of August. In this
rough estimate | take into the account
the deterioration of the grade rs we'll
as the total loss Of some fields, and the
per centage Of loss on what is threshed
and mark eted.
The oats suffered less than the wheat,
and the crop will be the largest ever
grown in the territory. Hay is abund-
ant. and of an excellent quality.
