containing about seventy-five tons, belong
ing to John Peebler, of Ladd canyon, were
destroyed by fire one night last week.

by railway accident near Beaverton about
a month ago. He was walking on trestle,

and thrown to the ground, and was uncon-
scious for several days. A few minutes
after regaining consciousness he became in
sane and has been so ever since.

Fossil Journal: Cal Hale and George
Zachary are not Sunday school scholars, but
it 10 the opinion of the people up this way
that they are ahead of the motley crew that
came up here to arrest them, both in intelli-
gence and honesty. About the cleverest
piece Of work the detectives" have shown
in the case was shooting holes in irrigating
troughs as the gang came up Pine Creek,
and cutting the wire on the fences of Fred
