CLE-ELUM (Wssh.), July pa fire this
evening destroyed an entire block of bust
ness buildings. Tie loss will exceed $780, 900.
The insurance is small. The flames origi-
mated In the second story of Theron Stat
ford'S drug and general merchandise store
and spread with wonderful rapidity, owing
to the dry condition of the buildings and a
slight breeze which prevailed. The only
means of fighting the flames was with
buckets and force pump. The Roslyn
Fire Brigade responded promptly, but ar
rived too late to be of service. Relief was
also sought at Ellensburg, but no means
were al hand to transport the Fire Depart
ment. All the business houses on the oppo-
site side of the street were more or less
damaged by the intense heat. and the de-
struction to the contents by removal was
heavy, the losses on this account exceeding
$4,000. Theron Stafford was severely
burned in removing goods from his store,
and Michael Garrison was fatally injured,
being caught by falling timbers. The loss is

PLACERvILLE. July 23.-The most dis
astrous fire that has occurred for many
years occurred tonight. The fire originated
In the hardware establishment of Weather
wax & Morris. The tin and iron work. shop
was a structure in the rear of the store
house. This was ablaze when the alarm
was given. Before the fire companies could
get over the line of business blocks adjoin-
ing with the water-hose the fire had COM
municated to all the frame buildings that
formed line in the rear. Splendid work
of the department stopped the progress of
the fire eastward after the burning of the
rear of the Mountain Democrat Office.
The following property was destroyed:
Part OF the Mountain Democrat Building;
r. Anderson's tin-shop and tools; Changers
Union. rear buildings and stable; d. E. Gel

b. Thomas millinery establishment; Hol-
bridges feed and livery stable; rear frame
structures of NJ. Simon, Thomas Anderson
and f. F. BarsS, and Mrs. Kempthorne'S
residence The stable buildings belonging
TO A. MierSon were destroyed by giant
powder to prevent the progress Of the fire.
The abundant supply of water, the high
pressure at the mains and the excellent
work OF the tlremen prevented the entire de-
struction of the city.

Register Swiggett, of the land office, re-

from Dec. 26, 1864, the time of his promo
ton, to Jan. s. 1866. The govern
ment allowed no interest on this
long standing debt, but deducted
So cents for the direct tax which was levied
during the war ON all whose income ex-
ceeded ST. CO a year. OF the amount al
lowed, 81 goes to the attorney who secured
it, S. i. Adler, OF Iowa. Capt. Swiggett had
never thought of applying for any
Attorney Adler told him there was m
thing coming and said he would secure it.
The captain told him to &c ahead. Adler
did SO. He has been at work on it four
years. The result of all this labor is that
he gets ST. and his client gets S9.03. The
direct tax, by which the captain loses 81
cents, was known during the Val as "a tax
to encourage perjury" Those whose in
come was known had to pay it. Those
whose income was not known did
not unless their conscious com
PEELED them to tell the truth.
Captain Swigget was promoted while in a
southern prison. His company was guard
ing a train at Marks Mill, Arkansas, when
attacked by the enemy and almost wiped
out. Twenty-three of the company we're
killed. The captain had seven pair of
brothers under him. OF these six pair
were separated by death. The captain and
thirty-four men were captured. Captain
Swiggett spent fourteen months altogether
in military prisons in the south, escaping
twice and being recaptured each time. The
1858 which he receives now serves to re-
mind him of his prison services at and
after the close of the war. He has not yet
decided whether he will build a business
block with it or endow a chair in some uni
! versity.

stories is this.
The Great Spirit was boiling a rabbit n

A Gentleman Wants to Buy Government
Land Near Helena.
The mail which comes to the Helena land
office contains many queer requests. One
of the latest is from a South Carolina cor
respondent. who desires to know how he
can do a little land buying. He does not
wish to come west as a settler, taking up u
homestead, he says, but only wants to buy
some cheap government land as near Hell
ena as he can get located, farm land not
very far from town-say four or five miles
out or nearer, at reasonable price.' He
also wants to know the price of timber
land very near the railroad. the class of
timber, size of trees, etc. The land Office
has not yet answered the letter, but will
doubtless find some difficulty in satisfying
the would-be investory,ss there are said to
be lots of people nearer home who would
like to find just such q snap.
