AN EARLY MORNING. FIRr.-On Satur-
day morning, at $50, the loud tintin. |
nabulations Of the fire alarm announced |
to the rising Red Cloudians that a fire
was in progress. Soon the streets we're |
aliyo| with mon fleeing in the direction
~ the bottoms, where a vast column Of
dense smoke was ascending ~heavenward. |
On going to fourth avenue, it was dis.
cerncd that n Of the bagnios, known |
as the Madam Ethcrton house. was on
fire. The fire company FASTENED to the
rescue, but found that they did not have
hose enough to reach the building, and
by that time the building was enveloped
in the fiery elements and could not be |
saved. This is the second time that this
dwelling has been consumed. Some
have said that the fire was i%ncendiary, |
and that a supposed gang Of white caps
did the work. The fire may have been
the work Of a fire bug, but THE CHIEF
wishes to put it's seal of condemnation
upon arson, or any devilment Of that
kind, but does not believe that any such
institution or society as white caps
exist in Red Cloud. or ever has been,
the little white circular to the contrary.
II the building was fired, il was done by
some ope filled with bulge. or some one
why's motive was revenge on the in
yates, and not by tho citizens. Red
Cloud citizens are OF good reputc and
do not take the law into their own hands
for execution. although, in this case, we
believe that such institutions have had
too much license in Red Cloud, and that
the officers have been direlict in the
prosecution Of the inmates. The furni.
tureIm the house was saved.

I A BASE HIT.-On last Tuesday the Red
Cloud ball team and that of Blue Hill
had a return game, in this city, which
was a very interesting game and stood in
favor Of Red Cloud up to the 9Th inning
when the umpire umpired it to Blue
Hill. The Blue Hill club are nice young
men, and knew they were beaten, but
their umpire did not like to see the rec
ord broken and so throwed it to Blue
Hill. THE CHIEF has seen many base
ball games OF both little and great clubs
but it never saw a fellow that could count
men out just by a swing Of the arm with
out the bassman touching the runner.
The first part OF the game was excellent,
and created much enthusiasm, but the
last three innings we're simply worked
and not won. The two teams are we'll
matched and with fair umpiring neither
one would have much of a walk. away.
The CHIEF hopes that the next time the
clubs play they will have a fairer umpire.
