The person who opened J. Brusen-
bach's saloon last Friday morning was
treated to a genuine surprise, evidence
being shown of how a fire had started
on the counter among some account
books during the night and went out
without doing any damage worth con-
sidering, and thus averting what might
have proved serious confagration
The edges of the books were burned to
the depth of several inches, but the
leaves being SO closely pressed together
prevented the fire from getting vent
Loose matches were scattered over the
books, and it looked as if some of them
had been ignited by the knawing of q
rat or mouse and the fire started by
this means.
DIR. n. P Valerius was here from
WatertoVn Monday at the request of
some of 5ur citizens,.who since the re-
cent burning of his large horse sale
and breeding stables have been en-
deavoring to induce him to rebuild at
Whitewater. He looked the city over
and expressed himself as we'll pleased
with tie many advantages offered, and
will submit a proposition soon, unless
he should conclude to remain in Water
town, though he is not pleased with
that city as a location on account of it's
lack of yaterworks and adequate fire
protection. Should he move to this or
any otfer city the change would cost
him considerable, and if Whitewater
gets him il will be necessary to make
stong effort, as other cities are also
bidding and offering large induce
ments. The importance to us of such
an ablishment, whose business
amounts to over 100000 a year, cam
not bs over estimated. - Whitewater
