In nominating ID. Carrigan for county

their strongest man to the front. That

FORT SMITH FIRE.

One of the most destructive fires
experienced in the city of Fort Smith
for years, occurred there at an early
hour yesterday morning. The flames
were discovered in the Wegman block
the handsomest and costliest building
on Garrison. Avenue.
Before the fremen could get IL un.
der control, the entire building was
totally wrecked. The principal suf
ferers are: Devlin & Son, Hightower
Bros, grocers; II G. Bollinger, pianos
and organs; DR.. Kimmons, dentist; 7.
Isaacason, dry goods and clothing
G. G. Cook, photographer.
The stocks Of goods belonging to
Devlin & Son, Higbtower Bros, and
Bolliuger are totally ruined. Isaac
sons stock was damaged only by wa
ter. The total loss will reach $4,000
or 100000. The total insurance is
$4,000.
The origin of the fire is mystery,
butts supposed to have originated in
the third story of the Wegman block,
where some young people had been
holding dance Several young men,
who had sleeping apartments in the
building, had a narrow escape from
being burned to death.

The Fort Smith DAILY Times thus
speaks Of the financial standing Of the

1t may be OF value to some of our
readers to know that the company, of
which Col. Martin is president, and
which our people are negotiating with,

point there need be no misgivings.
Nor need there be the slightest doubt
as to the intention of the company to

TWO HUNDRED MILES OVER Snow.
The winter before his death Ledford,
then Ia government service, accompanied
detachment Of the Third infantry, act
ing as escort to Major Rodney Smith,
paymaster United States army, 10 Camp
Supply, Indian Territory. and return.
The route for about POO miles was over q
broken and undulating region ESQ covered
with snow as TO appear level. Thus a
ravine, snOw-illed, appeared at dis
lance not different from an elevation,
snow-covered. There were no trees or
bushes above the dead level of the snow.
Buffalo were numerous, and were often
seen fioundering in a ravine, struggling to
get away from the soldiers.
Another eX-scout, known as Curly Wal
l0er, was killed near Dodge by a resident
of Salina, Kan, in an encounter resulting
from an effort on the part of Walker TO
sell lot of cattle stolen and run off by
him from their lawful owner. He was
pierced by several bullets from a Win
chester rife whilst dismounting from his
horse, and died with one hand on his re
vOlver, vainlY trying to release it from
the holster, in the stitching of which the
hammer was caught. In the other hand
Curly Walker had revolver. which,
in his death throes, he used as a knife,
repeatedly thrusting il into the prairie
sod, discharging it and bursting the wea-
pom by the act.
Another of the scouts was man of edu-
cation from Philadelphia and the nephew
of an ex-union soldier, at one time the
postmaster of St Louis. His fate is un-
known.
Scout o. J. Whitman was found dead
on the plains, his head resting in his sad
die, used as pillow, his horse and arms
gone-scalped- arrow through his
heart. He was killed while asleep.
Captain Harry Beade, who for eighteen
years was an officer of the Twenty fifth
United States infantry, was formerly a
scout in government service upon the
western plains. He never wore a buck
skin suit or affected long hair, however,
and in the quiet retirement of his Massa-
chusetts home knows not the perils of the
days when he, with only single compan-
ion scout, carried dispatches through q
region populous with Kiowa, Arapahoe
and Cheyenne Indians, who ambushed the
watering places, fired the river bottoms,
and whose keen-eyed abilities sought by
every artifice and skillful device to inter
cept, chase down and kill the government
scouts.
