We have received the first number o

neatly printed, very newsy, and the arti-

handsome opal specimens taken from the
field discovered by Perry Watson on the

played in the window of w. ID. Fletcher's

John Day cor. Long Creek Eagle: The
whole bloody, Chinatown south of the
Josh house is burned down and only for
the whites getting in, the rest would have
gone under. The fire started about
O'Clock this evening, and at the fun was
over. The only damage of any conse-
queuce was the tearing my new pants
while pouring water on The roof of the
stone store to keep it from catching on
fire. Don't take this for joke. China
town, or at least over one-half of it, is
gone up into smoke.

Cast End yesterday afternoon. One Of
he cayuses purchased from the Sharp
state was harnessed In cart, and the
wner mounted the seat IN full confidence
hat the animal could easily be driven;
'ut greatly to his injury he was disap-
