REDDING.

Monday night, Henry Whitehead drove
up to his store stoop with his spirited
horses and load of feed and groceries
and stepped off, leaving them for mo-
ment. They became frightened and
started on dead run for the Center.
When they came to Mrs S. B. Osbornes's
barn, they ran into the guide post at the
fork of the roads and one of them was
thrown. The wagon ran on to him, the
other remained standing, both being de-
tached from the wagon. A broken pole,
a ruined harness and slight scratch on
one of the horses. 1t was a narrow es-
cape from serious accident.
Friday afternoon, the dwelling of Aaron
Treadwell was discovered on fire. For
tunately, number were returning from
the fair and plenty of help was soon on
hand. After two-hours' battle with
the flames, the house was saved, though
the roof was almost burned off and one
chimney fell in. The entire upper part
of the house will have to be rebuilt. A
burning chimney caused the disaster.
Fortunately, Mr. Treadwell was we'll in
sured and, having received his insurance,
will at once repair damages. He was
sick in bed at the time. Quite number
of suits of clothes were damaged by wa
ter.
Mr. Rowing thinks that the articles in
the BEE and in the Danbury News do
him injustice and desires to make the fol-
lowing statement: The fight alleged to
have taken place at his house was outside
of his premises and he was in no way re-
sponsibIe for it. He also desires to say
that the crowds who come down from
Bethel bring their liquor with them and
he is often obliged to lock his place to
prevent their intrusion and that liquor
that is brought to Brookside park makes
the mischief laid to him. He endeavors
to keep a respectable hotel and, while he
does not deny that he sells spirituous
liquors, does so strictly within the limits
of his license. He desires, moreover,
that those who are finding fault with him
should turn their attention to a place
near the churches where liquor is sold
without a license and where lewd fe-
males are kept for purposes of prostitu-
ton.

Ing the evening, busted themselves with
removing gates, ETC., making night hide
GUS and disturbing the citizens. They
were finally warned to stop and leave
town, or they would have to sleep in the

effect. 10 Is time that these disturbances

The FIRST reports were of the widest
nature imaginable, and the fact re.
mains. according to repute, that the
richest gold vein ever opened
lies six miles from TIN Cup, and il the
dip holds out it will cause an excite
ment that will put the early days Of
California and Pixies Peak to shame.
The lowest assay thus far has been
twenty-five ounces to the ton, and there
are specin.s Us that will ran, by pull

ing. at least $4,000 to the ton.
Two men are taking out right nov
$1,000 worth of metal each day and
they are in the hill only eighteen feet
from the surface.
If that streak extends the length Of
one claim, $500 feet, on its trend and
one yard only on its dip and each cubic
yard weighs oae ton. there will be half
a millions worth of gold.
